research Expression of laminin, type IV collagen and fibronectin molecules is related to embryonal skin and epidermal appendage morphogenesis.
Laminin, type IV collagen, and fibronectin help develop skin and hair structures in embryos.
research Epidermis-specific ablation of claudin-1 in adult mice demonstrates the essential role of a tight junction barrier in skin homeostasis
Claudin-1 is crucial for maintaining skin barrier and preventing inflammation.
research A Window into Mammalian Basement Membrane Development: Insights from themTurq2-Col4a1Mouse Model
The mTurq2-Col4a1 mouse model shows that cells can divide while attached to stable basement membranes during development.
research Lgr5+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
Lgr5+ stem cells do not cause skin tumors.
research Surgical Therapies
Transplanting skin cells is a safe, effective, and affordable treatment for vitiligo.
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 The Process of Cornification Evolved From the Initial Keratinization in the Epidermis and Epidermal Derivatives of Vertebrates: A New Synthesis and the Case of Sauropsids
Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.
research Hair-follicle dermal papilla and sheath fibroblasts provide a supportive microenvironment for human skin regeneration
Certain cells around hair follicles help improve skin regeneration for potential use in skin grafts.
research The role of Glucosylceramides in Keratinocyte Differentiation and Epidermal Barrier Function
Glucosylceramides are essential for healthy skin and proper wound healing.
research Treatment of Acne Scar Contraction Using Autologous Cultured Epithelial Sheet Transplantation: A Report of Four Cases
Transplanting cultured skin sheets improved acne scars in four patients.
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 Live imaging of stem cells: answering old questions and raising new ones
Live imaging has advanced our understanding of stem cell behavior and raised new research questions.
research Immunolocalization of Scaffoldin, a Trichohyalin‐Like Protein, in the Epidermis of the Chicken Embryo
Scaffoldin helps form hard skin structures in chicken embryos.
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Expansion of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Sticking to Isolated Sebaceous Glands to Generate in Vivo Epidermal Structures
Sebaceous glands can help harvest hair follicle stem cells to regenerate skin and hair.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research The abnormal skin structure of newly born Wistar rat maternally-treated with aspartame: histological and immunohistochemical study
Maternal aspartame consumption during pregnancy leads to skin damage and higher apoptosis in newborn rat offspring.

Stem cells are crucial for skin repair and new treatments for chronic wounds.
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 Selenoproteins Are Essential for Proper Keratinocyte Function and Skin Development
Selenoproteins are crucial for healthy skin and hair.
research Overexpression of Hedgehog Signaling Is Associated with Epidermal Tumor Formation in Vitamin D Receptor–Null Mice
Lack of vitamin D receptor increases skin tumor risk by boosting hedgehog signaling.
