research Fibroblast growth factors: key players in regeneration and tissue repair
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.
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 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 Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research GROWTH FACTORS IN HAIR ORGAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Adenosine Stimulates Fibroblast Growth Factor-7 Gene Expression Via Adenosine A2b Receptor Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells
Adenosine may promote hair growth by increasing FGF-7 levels in dermal papilla cells.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Subpopulations of dermal skin fibroblasts secrete distinct extracellular matrix: implications for using skin substitutes in the clinic
Different skin cells produce unique materials, which can improve skin substitutes for healing.
research Module-based complexity formation: periodic patterning in feathers and hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research The activin binding proteins follistatin and follistatin-related protein are differentially regulated in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair
FLRG and follistatin have different roles in wound healing.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Minoxidil exerts different inhibitory effects on gene expression of lysyl hydroxylase 1, 2, and 3: Implications for collagen cross-linking and treatment of fibrosis
Minoxidil affects collagen-related genes, potentially helping treat fibrosis.
research Hair Follicle Biology and Topical Minoxidil: Possible Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing hair thickness and prolonging growth phase.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
research Cell Cycle Regulation and Regeneration
Mice that can regenerate tissue have cells that pause in the cell cycle, which is important for healing, similar to axolotls.
research Hedgehog signaling reprograms hair follicle niche fibroblasts to a hyper-activated state
Overactivating Hedgehog signaling makes hair follicle cells in mice grow hair faster and create more follicles.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the intrinsic molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats under natural and shortened photoperiod conditions
Changing light exposure can affect hair growth timing in goats, possibly due to a key gene, CSDC2.
research Stiffness-Controlled Thermoresponsive Hydrogels for Cell Harvesting with Sustained Mechanical Memory
The hydrogels help harvest cells while preserving their mechanical memory, which could improve wound healing.
research Hoxc13/β-catenin Correlation with Hair Follicle Activity in Cashmere Goat
Hoxc13 is linked to seasonal hair growth in Cashmere goats and is affected by melatonin.
research Getting to the Core of the Dermal Papilla
The document concludes that understanding dermal papilla cells is key to improving hair regeneration treatments.
research Fibroblasts: Immunomodulatory factors in refractory diabetic wound healing
Fibroblasts are important in healing diabetic wounds, but high sugar levels can harm their function and slow down the healing process.
research Cytokine loaded layer-by-layer ultrathin matrices to deliver single dermal papilla cells for spot-by-spot hair follicle regeneration
Scientists have created a method to deliver specific cells that can regenerate hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss.
research Antler stem cell-derived exosomes promote regenerative wound healing via fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition inhibition
Antler stem cell exosomes improve wound healing and reduce scarring.
research Altered FGF expression profile in human scalp-derived fibroblasts upon WNT activation: implication of their role to provide folliculogenetic microenvironment
