Pectin biosynthesis is essential for the growth of cotton fibers and Arabidopsis root hairs.
research Differential Expression of Fibromodulin, a Transforming Growth Factor-β Modulator, in Fetal Skin Development and Scarless Repair
Fibromodulin might help reduce scarring if increased in adult wounds like in fetal skin that heals without scars.
research Noninvasive method for assessing the human circadian clock using hair follicle cells
Scientists found a new, less invasive way to study body clocks using hair cells, which shows shift workers' body clocks don't match their lifestyles.
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 Cachexia and graft-vs.-host-disease-type skin changes in keratin promoter-driven TNF alpha transgenic mice.
TNF alpha in skin cells causes weight loss, hair and fat issues, and skin inflammation in mice.
research Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis
Hair follicle patterns form through a mix of self-organization and signaling interactions.
research Effect of minoxidil on proliferation and apoptosis in dermal papilla cells of human hair follicle
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by increasing cell production and survival.
research Ichthyosis

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 Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Fetal Skin Reveals Key Genes Related to Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Cashmere Goats
Key genes and pathways crucial for hair follicle development in cashmere goats were identified, aiding fleece production improvement.
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 Polysaccharides from Traditional Chinese Medicines: Extraction, Purification, Modification, and Biological Activity
Substances from Chinese medicines show promise for immune support and disease prevention, but the way they are processed affects their effectiveness.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Macrophages induce AKT/β-catenin-dependent Lgr5+ stem cell activation and hair follicle regeneration through TNF
Macrophages help regrow hair by activating stem cells using AKT/β-catenin and TNF.
research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
