research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Ability of Transplanted Cultured Epithelium to Respond to Dermal Papillae
Cultured epithelium can form hair follicles when combined with dermal papillae.
research Multiple Roles of Integrin-Linked Kinase in Epidermal Development, Maturation and Pigmentation Revealed by Molecular Profiling
ILK is essential for skin development, pigmentation, and healing.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Isolation and Characterization of Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Scientists found ways to identify and collect skin stem cells, which vary by skin area and are delicate.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research Langerin+ Dendritic Cells in Cutaneous Fibrosis: The TGF-β1 Signaling Axis
Targeting specific cell interactions may help treat skin fibrosis.
research Cell death as an architect of adult skin stem cell niches
Cell death shapes skin stem cell environments, affecting inflammation, repair, and cancer.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research The Glypican-1/HGF/C-Met and Glypican-1/VEGF/VEGFR2 Ternary Complexes Regulate Hair Follicle Angiogenesis
Glypican-1 is important for blood vessel growth in hair follicles and could help treat hair loss.
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 Breast cancer resistance protein identifies clonogenic keratinocytes in human interfollicular epidermis
ABCG2 protein marks stem-like skin cells in human epidermis.
research Proliferation and differentiation of cultured human follicular keratinocytes are not influenced by biotin
research Keratinocytes of the Upper Epidermis and Isthmus of Hair Follicles Express Hemoglobin mRNA and Protein
Skin cells and certain hair follicle areas produce hemoglobin, which may help protect against oxidative stress like UV damage.
research Keratin-6 driven ODC expression to hair follicle keratinocytes enhances stemness and tumorigenesis by negatively regulating Notch
ODC overexpression in hair cells increases tumor growth by reducing Notch signaling.
research Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Ectodermal Precursor Cells Contribute to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis In Vivo
Human stem cells can help form hair follicles in mice.
research Investigation of Transcriptional Gene Profiling in Normal Murine Hair Follicular Substructures Using Next-Generation Sequencing to Provide Potential Insights into Skin Disease
Hair follicles have a more inactive cell cycle than other skin cells, which may help develop targeted therapies for skin diseases and cancer.
research TCF/Lef1 activity controls establishment of diverse stem and progenitor cell compartments in mouse epidermis
TCF/Lef1 activity is essential for proper skin cell development and renewal.
research CD34 defines melanocyte stem cell subpopulations with distinct regenerative properties
CD34+ and CD34- melanocyte stem cells have different regenerative abilities.
research Damage of hair follicle stem cells and alteration of keratin expression in external radiation-induced acute alopecia
Radiation damages hair stem cells and changes keratin expression, with Krt5 as a potential marker for radiation effects.
research Regenerative Medicine-Based Treatment for Vitiligo: An Overview
Regenerative treatments for vitiligo show promise but need more research for long-term safety and effectiveness.
research A Novel Approach to Pattern Dermal Papilla Spheroids in Dermal–Epidermal Composites Using Non-Adherent Microwell Arrays
The new method may improve skin grafts and hair growth.
research Cellular and molecular mechanisms of repair in acute and chronic wound healing
Acute wounds heal well, but chronic wounds struggle due to ongoing inflammation and poor tissue repair.
research Dermal papilla-induced hair differentiation of adult epithelial stem cells from human skin
Dermal papilla cells help skin stem cells grow into hair.
research The nude gene and the skin
The nude gene is important for skin and hair development.
research Keratin Expression Provides Novel Insight into the Morphogenesis and Function of the Companion Layer in Hair Follicles
Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.
research Biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses of keratin expression in basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma shows keratin patterns similar to undifferentiated hair follicle cells.
research Expression of the Orphan Protein Plet-1 during Trichilemmal Differentiation of Anagen Hair Follicles
