research Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research IL-17a induces age-related olfactory dysfunction by impairing regeneration and promoting respiratory metaplasia in mice
Blocking IL-17a can improve age-related smell loss in mice.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Interleukin-6 Null Mice Paradoxically Display Increased STAT3 Activity and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Mice without the IL-6 gene had more hair growth after injury due to higher activity of a related protein, Stat3.
research A conditional multi-trait sequence GWAS discovers pleiotropic candidate genes and variants for sheep wool, skin wrinkle and breech cover traits
Researchers found genes and genetic variants linked to sheep wool and skin wrinkles.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
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 Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Disruption of FGF5 in Cashmere Goats Using CRISPR/Cas9 Results in More Secondary Hair Follicles and Longer Fibers
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in cashmere goats increases hair follicles and fiber length, boosting cashmere yield.
research FOXO1, TGF-β Regulation and Wound Healing
FOXO1 is important for wound healing, but its dysfunction in diabetes can slow the healing process.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research TGF‐β2 is specifically expressed in human dermal papilla cells and modulates hair folliculogenesis
TGF-β2 plays a key role in human hair growth and development.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research p53‐dependent transcriptional regulation of EDA2R and its involvement in chemotherapy‐induced hair loss
The study concludes that the EDA2R gene is activated by p53 during chemotherapy but is not necessary for chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research MicroRNAs in the skin: role in development, homoeostasis and regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research Knockout of integrin β1 in induced pluripotent stem cells accelerates skin-wound healing by promoting cell migration in extracellular matrix
Turning off a specific gene in stem cells speeds up skin healing by helping cells move better.
research iNOS inhibits hair regeneration in obese diabetic (ob/ob) mice
iNOS contributes to hair loss in obese diabetic mice and blocking it may encourage hair growth.
research Influence of Extended Photoperiod Using Blue Light Masks on Hypertrichosis, Coat Condition and General Health Parameters in Horses with Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction
Blue light masks improved coat condition and energy in horses with PPID.
research Knockout of the ING5 epigenetic regulator confirms roles in stem cell maintenance and tumor suppression in vivo
ING5 is crucial for stem cell maintenance and preventing certain cancers.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Human Fetal Scalp Dermal Papilla Enriched Genes and the Role of R-Spondin-1 in the Restoration of Hair Neogenesis in Adult Mouse Cells
Certain genes are more active in baby scalp cells and can help grow hair when added to adult mouse skin cells.
research Extracellular Caspase-1 induces hair stem cell migration in wounded and inflamed skin conditions
Caspase-1 helps hair stem cells move to heal wounded or inflamed skin.
research Homozygous whole body Cbs knockout in adult mice features minimal pathology during ageing despite severe homocysteinemia
Adult mice with CBS deficiency show minimal health issues and normal lifespan despite high homocysteine levels.
research Metabolic and cellular analysis of alopecia in vitamin D receptor knockout mice
Alopecia in these mice is caused by defective hair cycle communication due to missing vitamin D receptor function, not vitamin D levels.
research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber
Hair shedding is an active process that could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance – A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
