research Ferreting out stem cells from their niches
New methods have greatly improved our understanding of stem cell behavior and roles in the body.
research The Role of Vimentin in Tissue Repair and Cell Growth
Vimentin is crucial for wound healing, cell growth, and managing immune responses.
research Lgr5 marks cycling, yet long-lived, hair follicle stem cells
Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research 864 Catalytic-dependent and -independent activities of Polycomb repressive complex 1 differentially regulate skin stem cell specification
PRC1 influences skin stem cell development by both turning genes on and off, affecting hair growth and skin cell types.
research GPR39 marks specific cells within the sebaceous gland and contributes to skin wound healing
GPR39 is linked to certain cells in the sebaceous gland and helps with skin healing.
research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Hair Follicle Signaling Networks: A Dermal Papilla–Centric Approach
The document concludes that dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and could be used in new hair loss treatments.
research Multi‐tasking epidermal stem cells: Beyond epidermal maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
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 Macrophages maintain mammary stem cell activity and mammary homeostasis via TNF-α-Cdk1/Cyclin B1 axis
Macrophages help maintain mammary stem cells and balance through specific signaling.
research 700 Oncostatin M is upstream of JAK-STAT signaling during the murine hair cycle
Blocking Oncostatin M's role in the JAK-STAT pathway can stimulate hair growth in mice.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research Corneal Endothelial Cell Fate Is Maintained by LGR5 Through the Regulation of Hedgehog and Wnt Pathway
LGR5 helps maintain corneal cell characteristics and prevents unwanted changes by controlling specific cell signaling pathways.
research Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.

research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Wnt Signaling, Lgr5, and Stem Cells in the Intestine and Skin
Lgr5 is a marker for active, self-renewing stem cells in the intestine and skin, important for tissue maintenance.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Localisation of members of the notch system and the differentiation of vibrissa hair follicles: Receptors, ligands, and fringe modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research Stem cell secretome as a new booster for regenerative medicine
Stem cells help repair tissue mainly by releasing beneficial substances, not by replacing damaged cells.
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 Signalling couples hair follicle stem cell quiescence with reduced histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 for proper tissue homeostasis
