Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing cell division and DNA synthesis.
research Secreted subtilisin Sub3 from Microsporum canis is required for adherence to but not for invasion of the epidermis
Sub3 is essential for fungus adherence but not for skin invasion.
research Role of -catenin in Epidermal Stem Cell Expansion, Lineage Selection, and Cancer
Beta-catenin is crucial for skin cell growth, development, and cancer formation.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research 2,3,7,8‐Tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin causes an increase in protein kinases growth hepatic associated with epidermal factor receptor in the plasma membrane
TCDD reduces EGF receptors in the liver, affecting growth and development.
research Effects of epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, minoxidil and hydrocortisone on growth kinetics in human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts cultured in vitro
EGF and FGF boost hair cell growth, hydrocortisone slows it, and minoxidil doesn't affect it.
research Laminin α5 in the keratinocyte basement membrane is required for epidermal–dermal intercommunication
Laminin α5 is essential for skin communication and health.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Nonscarring inflammatory alopecia associated with the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor gefitinib

research Age-associated inflammation connects RAS-induced senescence to stem cell dysfunction and epidermal malignancy
Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile which Involves Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research Epidermal Nevi
Epidermal nevi are skin cell clusters linked to various syndromes.
research Matrix Metalloproteinase-19 Expression in Normal and Diseased Skin: Dysregulation by Epidermal Proliferation
MMP-19 may worsen skin diseases by affecting skin growth and inflammation.
