research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and Scd1 and Soat1 Activity
Runx1 controls fat-related genes important for normal and cancer cell growth, affecting skin and hair cell behavior.
research Celsr1 and Celsr2 exhibit distinct adhesive interactions and contributions to planar cell polarity
Celsr1 is crucial for skin cell alignment, while Celsr2 has little effect on this process.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research In Silico Analysis of the Age-Dependent Evolution of the Transcriptome of Mouse Skin Stem Cells
The research found that the gene activity in mouse skin stem cells changes significantly as they age.
research Stem Cells as a Target for the Delivery of Active Molecules to Skin by Topical Administration
Topical treatments can deliver active molecules to skin stem cells, potentially helping treat skin and hair disorders, including skin cancers and hair loss.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Fibroblast heterogeneity: implications for human disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research A family business: stem cell progeny join the niche to regulate homeostasis
Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research A matter of life and death: self‐renewal in stem cells
Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.
research Targeting the Wnt pathways for therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Targeted Disruption of Stat3 Reveals a Major Role for Follicular Stem Cells in Skin Tumor Initiation
Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Meis1 Regulates Epidermal Stem Cells and Is Required for Skin Tumorigenesis
Meis1 is crucial for skin health and tumor development.
research Pre-Clinical Cell-Based Therapy for Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
Cell-based therapies show promise for treating Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency but need more research.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Morphogenesis and maintenance of the 3D thymic medulla and prevention of nude skin phenotype require FoxN1 in pre- and post-natal K14 epithelium
FoxN1 gene is essential for proper thymus structure and preventing hair loss.
research Epigenetic regulation in adult stem cells and cancers
Understanding how epigenetic regulation affects stem cells is key to cancer insights and new treatments.
research Pannexin 3 regulates skin development via Epiprofin
Pannexin 3 helps skin and hair growth by controlling a protein called Epiprofin.
research PBX1-SIRT1 Positive Feedback Loop Attenuates ROS-Mediated HF-MSC Senescence and Apoptosis
Increasing PBX1 reduces aging and cell death in hair follicle stem cells by boosting SIRT1 and lowering PARP1 activity.
research Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes for organ development and cell‐free therapy
MSC-Exos can aid organ development and offer therapeutic benefits for various conditions.
research CD4 expression controls epidermal stem cell balance
CD4 is crucial for maintaining skin stem cell balance and aiding wound healing.
research Neural crest cells give rise to non-myogenic mesenchymal tissue in the adult murid ear pinna
Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
research Somatic mutations distinguish melanocyte subpopulations in human skin
Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
