research Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells: Regenerative Potency in Periodontium
Periodontal ligament stem cells show promise for regrowing tissues but require more research for safe, effective use.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Somatic stem cell heterogeneity: diversity in the blood, skin and intestinal stem cell compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research Exosomes for repair, regeneration and rejuvenation
Exosomes could potentially enhance tissue repair and regeneration with lower rejection risk and easier production than live cell therapies.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.

Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Cepharanthine: An update of its mode of action, pharmacological properties and medical applications
Cepharanthine is a well-tolerated drug with multiple medical uses, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research Molecular basis of androgenetic alopecia: From androgen to paracrine mediators through dermal papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Differential Auxin-Transporting Activities of PIN-FORMED Proteins in Arabidopsis Root Hair Cells
Different PIN proteins affect plant root hair growth by changing how auxin is transported.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Chronic inflammatory diseases are stimulated by current lifestyle: how diet, stress levels and medication prevent our body from recovering
Modern lifestyles, including poor diet, stress, and long-term use of certain medications, hinder the body's ability to heal from inflammation, leading to chronic diseases.
research K channel therapeutics at the bedside
Potassium channel openers are effective in treating heart conditions, high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, bladder issues, and hair loss, but more selective drugs are needed.
research MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research HAIR REGROWTH
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.
research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Smoking and the skin
Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.
