TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
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 Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research The transcriptional repressor CDP (Cutl1) is essential for epithelial cell differentiation of the lung and the hair follicle
CDP is crucial for lung and hair follicle cell development.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Advances in Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia and Hair Loss: Wnt Pathway, Growth-Factor, and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling Impact Analysis on Cell Growth and Hair Follicle Development
Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
Applying a special compound can promote hair growth without harmful side effects.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
