research Correlation of monosynaptic field potentials evoked by single action potentials in single primary afferent axons and their bouton distributions in the dorsal horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Nerve dependence in tissue, organ, and appendage regeneration
Nerves are crucial for the regeneration of various body parts in many animals.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Different Requirements for GFRα2-Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
GFRα2 is essential for controlling neuron size but not for target innervation in certain sensory neurons.
research Neurotrophin-4 modulates the mechanotransducer Cav3.2 T-type calcium current in mice down-hair neurons
Neurotrophin-4 increases calcium current in specific mouse neurons through the PI3K pathway.
research Therapeutic potential of endogenous stem cells and cellular factors for scar-free skin regeneration
Using skin stem cells and certain molecules might lead to scar-free skin healing.
research Down-RANKing the Threat of HSV-1: RANKL Upregulates MHC-Class-I-Restricted Anti-Viral Immunity in Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
RANKL improves the immune response against herpes simplex virus by enhancing T cell activation and could help develop better treatments or vaccines.
research Diversity of Adult Stem Cell Niches in the Dermal Compartment of Skin
The skin's dermal layer contains true stem cells with diverse functions and interactions that need more research to fully understand.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research Follicle architecture and innervation of functionally distinct rat vibrissae
Rat vibrissae structure relates to their sensory function.
research The murine hair follicle is a melatonin target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
research Somatic stem cell heterogeneity: diversity in the blood, skin and intestinal stem cell compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research The non-neuronal and nonmuscular effects of botulinum toxin: an opportunity for a deadly molecule to treat disease in the skin and beyond
Botulinum toxin has potential for treating various skin conditions and improving wound healing.
research Teriflunomide (Aubagio®) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis
Teriflunomide is an effective and generally safe oral treatment for relapsing MS, reducing relapses and slowing disability progression.
research The pathophysiology of delayed ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation is a complex issue caused by psychological, biological, and lifestyle factors, requiring a holistic treatment approach.
research Biology of melanocytes in mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy-Enhanced Ovarian Rejuvenation: Promising Approach Towards Ovarian Insufficiency and Fertility Preservation
PRP therapy may help with ovarian issues and fertility, but more research is needed.
research Tfap2b specifies an embryonic melanocyte stem cell that retains adult multi-fate potential
The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research Regenerative Effect of Intraovarian Injection of Activated Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma: Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels Measured Among Poor-Prognosis In Vitro Fertilization Patients
PRP treatment can safely boost hormone levels in some IVF patients with low ovarian reserve.
research Author response: Hair follicle epidermal stem cells define a niche for tactile sensation
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research Cutaneous Neuroimmune Interactions in Peripheral Neuropathic Pain States
New therapies targeting skin neuroimmune interactions could treat neuropathic pain.
research KCNQ Potassium Channels Modulate Sensitivity of Skin Down-hair (D-hair) Mechanoreceptors
KCNQ potassium channels help control the sensitivity of touch receptors in the skin.
research The Pathological Culprit of Neuropathic Skin Pain in Long COVID-19 Patients: A Case Series
Long COVID-19 patients with skin pain might have a nerve condition that responds to a medication called gabapentin.
