research Mimicking Hair Disorders by Genetic Manipulation of Organ-Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Scientists can mimic hair disorders by altering genes in lab-grown human hair follicles, but these follicles lack some features of natural ones.
research 864 Catalytic-dependent and -independent activities of Polycomb repressive complex 1 differentially regulate skin stem cell specification
PRC1 influences skin stem cell development by both turning genes on and off, affecting hair growth and skin cell types.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cell behavior by the niche microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Hair follicle reformation induced by dermal papilla cells from human scalp skin
Dermal papilla cells can help regrow hair follicles.
research Human Hair Derived Keratins Mediate Schwann Cell Behavior in vitro and Facilitate Rapid Peripheral Nerve Regeneration in vivo
Human hair keratins help nerve regeneration and support Schwann cell activity.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
Only skin melanocytes, not other types, can color hair in mice.
research Isolating Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Epidermal Keratinocytes from Dorsal Mouse Skin
The method successfully isolates hair follicle stem cells from mice for research.
research 567 Skin aging and carcinogenesis mechanisms by focusing on the stem cell competitive dynamics
Skin aging and cancer development are influenced by the competition between stem cells.
research Hair follicle regeneration from human pluripotent stem cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from human stem cells, which could potentially be used to treat hair loss.
research 1379 Cell of origin contributes to the melanoma diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
research Deciphering the Mesodermal Potency of Porcine Skin-Derived Progenitors (SKP) by Microarray Analysis
Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
research 1433 Role of BNC1 in keratinocytes proliferation and migration: A critical regulator of wound healing?
Basonuclin 1 (BNC1) helps skin cells multiply and move, which is crucial for wound healing.
research On the Regulation of Hair Keratin Expression: Lessons from Studies in Pilomatricomas
research Rapid Genetic Analysis of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Signaling During Hair Regeneration
The method quickly analyzes hair growth genes and shows that blocking Smo in skin cells stops hair growth.
research 449 Long-Term Role of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Epidermal Wound Healing
Hair follicle stem cells help maintain skin health after injury.
research Deletion of vitamin D receptor with calcium sensing receptor in keratinocytes promotes epidermal tumorigenesis by limiting dna repair and oxidative stress response genes
Deleting vitamin D and calcium receptors in skin cells increases skin cancer risk by reducing DNA repair and stress response.
research The mesenchymal component of hair follicle neogenesis: background, methods and molecular characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research 854 CCL5 affects the hair-inductive capacity of three-dimensional (3D)-cultured dermal papilla cells
CCL5 is important for the hair growth potential of human dermal papilla cells.
research Concerted gene duplications in the two keratin gene families
research Generation of a Novel Inducible and Dermal Papilla‐Specific Wif1‐CreER Knock‐In Mouse Line for Hair Follicle Research
A new genetic tool improves the study of hair growth and potential hair disorder treatments.
research The Roles of the Lrig1- and Lgr6-Positive Stem Cells in the Skin and the Functions of the Molecular Markers That Define Them
Lrig1 and Lgr6 stem cells help maintain hair follicles and influence skin cancer development.
research 1438 KLF4 maintains hair follicle stem cell quiescence
KLF4 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive.
research A cell polarity protein, aPKCλ, is essential for maintaining hair follicle stem cell quiescence and hair follicle regeneration
The protein aPKCλ is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and for hair growth and regeneration.
research Melanocyte Subpopulation Turnover During the Human Hair Cycle: An Immunohistochemical Study
Melanocyte activity in hair follicles is linked to the hair growth cycle, being active in growth phases and inactive in rest phases.
research 707 Chromatin remodeler Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is a critical determinant controlling postnatal epidermal growth, differentiation and response to injury
Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is crucial for skin growth, change, and healing after injury.
research Human Hair Keratins.
research Terrestrial vertebrates have two keratin gene clusters; striking differences in teleost fish
Terrestrial vertebrates have balanced keratin gene clusters, unlike teleost fish.
research 167 Epidermal GRK2 knockout triggers a hair loss phenotype with features resembling immune-mediated alopecias
Removing GRK2 in skin cells causes hair loss similar to immune-related alopecia.
research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
