Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research 560 Isolation of an “early” transit amplifying keratinocyte population in interfollicular human epidermis: a role for CD271 receptor
Scientists found a new type of skin cell that could help with skin repair and these cells work better with a certain protein.
research The concept of the onychodermis (specialized nail mesenchyme): an embryological assessment and a comparative analysis with the hair follicle
The onychodermis helps anchor the nail bed and may aid in nail formation.
research Exploring the “brain-skin connection”: Leads and lessons from the hair follicle
Hair follicles on the scalp interact with and respond to the nervous system, influencing their own behavior and growth.
research Refractory pruritic Fox-Fordyce disease successfully treated with botulinum toxin type A
Botox injections may be a safe and effective way to treat severe, itchy skin disease when other treatments fail.
