research T helper 17 cell/regulatory T-cell imbalance in hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa: the link to hair follicle dissection, obesity, smoking and autoimmune comorbidities
An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.
research Rps14 upregulation promotes inner ear progenitor proliferation and hair cell regeneration in the neonatal mouse cochlea
Increasing Rps14 helps grow more inner ear cells and repair hearing cells in baby mice.
research Understanding the functional contribution of dermal stem cells to hair follicle regeneration and skin wound healing
Dermal stem cells help regenerate hair follicles and heal skin wounds.
research Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Cultured Peribulbar Dermal Sheath Cells Can Induce Hair Follicle Development and Contribute to the Dermal Sheath and Dermal Papilla
Certain cells from hair follicles can create new hair and contribute to hair growth when implanted in mice.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Hair follicles’ transit-amplifying cells govern concurrent dermal adipocyte production through Sonic Hedgehog
Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Identification of hair shaft progenitors that create a niche for hair pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research Smad1 and 5 but Not Smad8 Establish Stem Cell Quiescence Which Is Critical to Transform the Premature Hair Follicle During Morphogenesis Toward the Postnatal State
Smad1 and Smad5 are essential for hair follicle development and stem cell sleepiness.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Valentina Greco: Got hair?
Valentina Greco's research shows that the environment around hair follicle stem cells is more crucial for regeneration than the stem cells themselves.
research General Characteristics of Hair in Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can cause various hair problems, and while hair loss in these disorders is linked to metabolic syndrome, treatment focuses on specific medications and lifestyle changes for the syndrome.
research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Efficacy of tofacitinib in treatment of alopecia universalis in two patients
Tofacitinib was effective in treating hair loss in two patients with alopecia universalis.
research Hyperadrenocorticism (Hyperadrenocorticoidism, Hyperadrenocorticalism, Cushing’s Disease, Cushing’s Syndrome)
Treatment can improve survival and symptoms in dogs with Cushing's disease, but outcomes are unpredictable.
research Gap junctions in Turing-type periodic feather pattern formation
Gap junctions help control feather pattern formation in chickens.
research Hemiagenesis of the thyroid gland detected by coincidence—what is the clinical relevance?
THA is a rare condition with no significant clinical consequences if thyroid function is normal.
research Sertolioma in a Canadian Husky: Relationship between Tumor, Hormones, Neurons and Skin
Removing a testicular tumor in a dog reduced its aggressive behavior and skin problems.
research Stem Cells Sheltered from Air-Raids Repair Airways
Myoepithelial cells can repair airways after severe injury.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.
research Development of gene therapy for inner ear disease: Using bilateral vestibular hypofunction as a vehicle for translational research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research Folliculitis decalvans
Folliculitis decalvans is a rare scalp condition causing scarring hair loss, treated with long-term antibiotics and other medications, but it often comes back and is hard to manage.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
