research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research What does the concept of the stem cell niche really mean today?
Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Regenerating the skin: a task for the heterogeneous stem cell pool and surrounding niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apotosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Type XVII collagen coordinates proliferation in the interfollicular epidermis
Type XVII collagen helps control skin cell growth and could be a target for anti-aging treatments.
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 Human hair growth enhancement in vitro by green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)
Green tea component EGCG could potentially promote human hair growth.
research Concise Review: Wnt Signaling Pathways in Skin Development and Epidermal Stem Cells
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and hair growth.
research Conditional epidermal expression of TGFβ1 blocks neonatal lethality but causes a reversible hyperplasia and alopecia
TGFβ1 expression in skin causes hair loss and skin thickening, but these effects are reversible.
research Selenoproteins Are Essential for Proper Keratinocyte Function and Skin Development
Selenoproteins are crucial for healthy skin and hair.
research Epidermal Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production Is Required for Permeability Barrier Homeostasis, Dermal Angiogenesis, and the Development of Epidermal Hyperplasia
VEGF-A is crucial for normal skin function and may be linked to psoriasis.
research A keratin scaffold regulates epidermal barrier formation, mitochondrial lipid composition, and activity
Keratin is crucial for skin barrier formation and affects mitochondrial function.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.
research Epidermal Growth Factor as a Biologic Switch in Hair Growth Cycle
EGF controls hair growth by regulating hair follicles' growth phases.
research Effects of EGF on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
EGF makes hair follicles grow longer but stops hair production.
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 Cutaneous reactions to chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapy for cancer
Targeted cancer therapies often cause skin reactions, so dermatologists must manage these effects.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Targeted transgenic expression of the mutation causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome leads to proliferative and degenerative epidermal disease
The mutation causing Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome leads to severe skin problems and early death in mice.
research Building Epithelial Tissues from Skin Stem Cells
Skin stem cells help maintain skin health, grow hair, and heal wounds.
research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber
Hair shedding is an active process that could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Roles of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Epidermal and Hair Follicle Development, Homeostasis, and Cancer
The Hedgehog signaling pathway is important for skin and hair growth and can lead to cancer if it doesn't work right.
research Estrogen Receptor α, but not Estrogen Receptor β, is Involved in the Regulation of the Hair Follicle Cycling as well as the Thickness of Epidermis in Male Mice
Estrogen receptor α controls hair growth cycles and skin thickness in male mice.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
