research A practical guide for the study of human and murine sebaceous glands in situ
The guide explains how to study human and mouse sebaceous glands using various staining and imaging techniques, and emphasizes the need for standardized assessment methods.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.
research Defining Hair Follicles in the Age of Stem Cell Bioengineering
The study found that bioengineered hair follicles work when using cells from the same species but have issues when combining human and mouse cells.
research Cellular therapy with human autologous adipose-derived adult cells of stromal vascular fraction for alopecia areata
Using patients' own fat-derived cells to treat alopecia areata significantly improved hair growth and was safe.
research Chitosan microparticles for sustaining the topical delivery of minoxidil sulphate
Chitosan microparticles improve minoxidil sulphate delivery, potentially reducing daily applications.
research Tumor Mapping in 2 Large Multigenerational Families With CYLD Mutations
CYLD mutations cause a variety of skin tumors with symptoms starting around age 16, and treatments are currently limited.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
research Induction of hair follicle dermal papilla cell properties in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived multipotent LNGFR(+)THY-1(+) mesenchymal cells
Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research A splice variant in KRT71 is associated with curly coat phenotype of Selkirk Rex cats
A gene variant in KRT71 causes the curly fur in Selkirk Rex cats.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Madarosis: A marker of many Maladies
Losing eyelashes or eyebrows can be a sign of many different health problems and needs a careful approach to treat effectively.
research Thyroid hormone action in epidermal development and homeostasis and its implications in the pathophysiology of the skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
research FOXN1 deficient nude severe combined immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research Smad1 and 5 but Not Smad8 Establish Stem Cell Quiescence Which Is Critical to Transform the Premature Hair Follicle During Morphogenesis Toward the Postnatal State
Smad1 and Smad5 are essential for hair follicle development and stem cell sleepiness.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
research Through the lens of hair follicle neogenesis, a new focus on mechanisms of skin regeneration after wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
