Research
750-780 / 1000+ results research Role of alkaline ceramidase 1 (Acer1) in regulating epidermal homeostasis and tumorigenesis
Acer1 is essential for skin health and affects hair growth and skin cancer risk.
research 877 Small T antigen from a folliculotropic polyomavirus activates canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling in vivo
A virus protein can activate a pathway that may lead to abnormal hair follicle development.
research 689 Regional differences in scalp innervation: A pilot study of the healthy scalp
The back of the scalp has more nerve fibers than the front, which may explain why some people feel more sensitivity there.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Hair regeneration after epidermal peeling
Apremilast showed mixed results for hair regrowth in alopecia areata.
research Hair development and Langerhans cell migration during human embryogenesis
Langerhans cells and melanocytes migrate to the skin and hair follicles during early human development.
research News in brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research Reversing wrinkled skin and hair loss in mice by restoring mitochondrial function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research Requirement of zinc transporter ZIP10 for epidermal development: Implication of the ZIP10–p63 axis in epithelial homeostasis
ZIP10 is crucial for skin development and maintaining healthy skin.
research Coactivator MED1 Ablation in Keratinocytes Results in Hair-Cycling Defects and Epidermal Alterations
Deleting MED1 in skin cells causes hair loss and skin changes.
research 854 CCL5 affects the hair-inductive capacity of three-dimensional (3D)-cultured dermal papilla cells
CCL5 is important for the hair growth potential of human dermal papilla cells.
research Dynamics and Epigenetics of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Epigenetic mechanisms control skin development by regulating gene expression.
research 857 Human hair follicle regeneration with trichogenic human dermal papilla precursor cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells
Stem cells can create hair follicles, potentially treating permanent hair loss, and healthy skin and hair depend on mitochondrial function and special fats.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research The epidermis: rising to the surface
The document concludes that recent research has improved understanding of skin diseases and the balance between cell growth and differentiation in the epidermis.
research Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) controls circadian cell proliferation and susceptibility to UVB-induced DNA damage in the epidermis
BMAL1 controls skin cell growth and UV damage risk, peaking at night.
research Defining dermal adipose tissue
Skin fat cells help with skin balance, hair growth, and healing wounds.
research Stem cell dynamics, migration and plasticity during wound healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research Abnormal differentiation of epidermis in transgenic mice constitutively expressing cyclooxygenase-2 in skin
Overexpression of COX-2 in mice skin causes abnormal skin and hair development.
research Evidence that Myc activation depletes the epidermal stem cell compartment by modulating adhesive interactions with the local microenvironment
Myc activation reduces skin stem cells by affecting cell adhesion.
research Lack of the Vitamin D Receptor is Associated with Reduced Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Growth
Vitamin D Receptor is crucial for normal skin and hair growth.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
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 Wounding induces dedifferentiation of epidermal Gata6+ cells and acquisition of stem cell properties
Wounded skin cells can revert to stem cells and help heal.
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 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 Reprogramming adult dermis to a neonatal state through epidermal activation of β-catenin
Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
