research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
research Critical Stages of Hair Development and Pigmentation in the Mouse
Hair growth and pigmentation in mice involve specific stages crucial for research.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research Acquired scalp alopecia. Part I: A review
Accurate diagnosis is key for treating different kinds of hair loss, and immune response variations may affect the condition and treatment results.
research Hair-raising Mysteries of the Inner Root Sheath: Unearthing Treasures in Bald Spots
The inner root sheath in hair follicles plays a key role in hair growth and health.
research Cosmetics and hair and nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Characterization and isolation of stem cell-enriched human hair follicle bulge cells
Researchers successfully isolated and identified key markers of stem cell-enriched human hair follicle bulge cells.
research Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.
research Skin shedding and tissue regeneration in African spiny mice (Acomys)
African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research The Basement Membrane of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Is a Muscle Cell Niche
Nephronectin helps attach muscle cells to hair follicles.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
research Maintenance of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Is Linked to Prevention of NK Cell Attack
Hair follicles prevent NK cell attacks to avoid hair loss.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Exploring the role of stem cells in cutaneous wound healing
Stem cells are crucial for wound healing and understanding their role could lead to new treatments, but more research is needed to answer unresolved questions.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices
Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.

Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
research The cell-surface marker MTS24 identifies a novel population of follicular keratinocytes with characteristics of progenitor cells
MTS24 marks a new type of skin cell that helps hair growth and repair.
research Alopecia areata: a review of disease pathogenesis
Alopecia areata is likely an autoimmune disease with unclear triggers, involving various immune cells and molecules, and currently has no cure.
research An Extended Epidermal Response Heals Cutaneous Wounds in the Absence of a Hair Follicle Stem Cell Contribution
Skin can heal wounds without hair follicle stem cells, but it takes a bit longer.
research Telocytes in human skin – are they involved in skin regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
