research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Two Mechanisms Regulate Keratin K15 Expression In Keratinocytes: Role of PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1 Mediated Signalling
Keratin 15 expression in skin cells is regulated by two mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1.
research Foxn1 promotes keratinocyte differentiation by regulating the activity of protein kinase C
Foxn1 helps skin cells mature by controlling a specific protein's activity.
research The Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE), Which Is Defective in Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy Patients, Is Expressed in Human Epidermal and Follicular Keratinocytes and Associates With the Intermediate Filament Protein Cytokeratin 17
AIRE protein, defective in APECED patients, is found in skin and hair cells and interacts with cytokeratin 17.
research WIF1 Is Expressed by Stem Cells of the Human Interfollicular Epidermis and Acts to Suppress Keratinocyte Proliferation
WIF1 helps keep skin stem cells inactive to prevent excessive cell growth.
research A Two-Stepped Culture Method for Efficient Production of Trichogenic Keratinocytes
A two-step method was created in 2015 to make more cells that help with hair growth, but they need to be combined with other cells for 4 days to actually form new hair.
research Attenuation of Dickkopf 1-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition in Cultured Human Hair Follicles by Tianeptine
Tianeptine may help prevent hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing cell death.
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 Corneodesmosin: Structure, Function and Involvement in Pathophysiology
Corneodesmosin is essential for skin and hair health, and its dysfunction can lead to skin and hair disorders.
research Pathomechanism of androgenetic alopecia and new treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research 549 Temporary cell cycle arrest in human scalp hair follicles and their epithelial stem cells by ALRN-6924: A novel strategy to selectively protect p53-wildtype cells against paclitaxel-induced alopecia
ALRN-6924 may prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy.
research 873 The effect of Cilostazol on hair growth: A novel therapeutic option for the treatment of hair loss
Cilostazol may help hair grow and could be a new treatment for hair loss.
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 Epidermal Wnt/beta-catenin signalling promotes dermal adipocyte differentiation during hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration
Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in the skin helps fat cell development during hair growth and repair.
research Hair follicle regeneration in vitro
Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
research 1360 Regulation of bmp signalling in melanogenesis, pigment transfer and melanocyte migration
BMP signaling is important for skin color, affecting melanin production, pigment spread, and cell movement.
research Abstract 5357: Targeting mTORC1 suppresses proliferation of keratinocyte stem cells and inhibits skin tumor promotion in mice
Blocking mTORC1 reduces skin tumor growth in mice.
research 217 The adenosine-generating ecto-enzyme CD73 regulates human hair growth
The enzyme CD73 helps control human hair growth and could be targeted to treat hair growth disorders.
research Progressive expression of PPARGC1α is associated with hair miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research Jagged-1+ Skin Tregs Modulate the Innate Immune Response to Wound Healing
Jagged-1 in skin Tregs is crucial for timely wound healing by recruiting specific immune cells.
research Data from Synergistic Function of Smad4 and PTEN in Suppressing Forestomach Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Mouse
Deleting Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice causes rapid, invasive stomach cancer.
research Data from Synergistic Function of Smad4 and PTEN in Suppressing Forestomach Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Mouse
Deleting Smad4 and PTEN genes in mice causes rapid, invasive forestomach cancer.
research Integration of Biochemical and Mechanical Signals at the Nuclear Periphery: Impacts on Skin Development and Disease
The conclusion is that the nuclear lamina and LINC complex in skin cells respond to mechanical signals, affecting gene expression and cell differentiation, which is important for skin health and can impact skin diseases.
research Regulation of PDGF and PDGF receptor in cultured dermal papilla cells and follicular keratinocytes of the human hair follicle
PDGF signaling may play a role in hair growth cycle regulation.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research KERATINS AND SKIN DISORDERS
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Cell death as an architect of adult skin stem cell niches
Cell death shapes skin stem cell environments, affecting inflammation, repair, and cancer.
research Keratin cytoskeletons in epithelial cells of internal organs
Keratins provide structural strength in epithelial cells and help identify cell origins.
research Plasticity of epithelial stem cells in tissue regeneration
Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
