The research found that people's hair proteins vary, especially by ethnicity and body part, which could help identify individuals in forensic science.
The research found that people's hair proteins vary by individual and body part, with some differences between ethnic groups, which could help in forensics.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
April 2013 in “Developmental Cell” Brg1 is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells and repairing skin, working with the Sonic Hedgehog pathway to promote hair growth.
January 2012 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Keratin 15 affects cell behavior and characteristics in skin cells.
February 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
January 2006 in “Carl von Ossiezky University of Oldenburg” Unpigmented keratinocytes absorb substances faster, while melanocytes bind more strongly to melanin.
December 2004 in “Reproduction Fertility and Development” Porcine hair follicles are useful for studying keratinocyte function, with galectin-1 as a potential stem cell marker.
April 2003 in “Experimental Dermatology” The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
April 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Hair follicles protect melanocytes from sun damage, helping them replenish skin.
April 2024 in “Communications biology” Enzymes involved in Vitamin A metabolism affect hair growth and type in mice.
May 2021 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
March 2021 in “Cell stem cell” Skin cell behavior is influenced by the tightness of nearby cells, affecting their growth and development.
