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 Hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet has potential in vitiligo treatment
Hair follicle-derived sheets can effectively treat vitiligo by repigmenting skin.
research Real-time in vivo structure-function study of scalp hair cycles: an experimental approach for monitoring living hair roots with a 20-year follow-up
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively promote hair regrowth within 3 months.
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.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Inflammatory loops in the epithelial–immune microenvironment of the skin and skin appendages in chronic inflammatory diseases
Chronic inflammatory skin diseases are caused by disrupted interactions between skin cells and immune cells.
research Fibroblast depletion reveals mammalian epithelial resilience across neonatal and adult stages
The skin can still regenerate and function well even with fewer fibroblasts.
research Nestin as a marker of unipotent epithelial progenitor cells differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in embryonic and adult hair follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research JunB defines functional and structural integrity of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit in the skin
JunB is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and hair follicles.
research Evaluation of Retinal Layers and Choroidal Structures Using Optical Coherence Tomography in Alopecia Areata
People with alopecia areata have similar retinal structures but thicker choroidal regions compared to those without the condition.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Hair morphogenesisin vitro: formation of hair structures suitable for implantation
Scientists created early-stage hairs from mouse cells that grew into normal, pigmented hair when implanted into other mice.
research Proteomic tools for the investigation of human hair structural proteins and evidence of weakness sites on hair keratin coil segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research Hyperplasia of Hair Follicles and Other Adnexal Structures in Cutaneous Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Hair follicle hyperplasia is common in both benign and malignant skin lymphoproliferative disorders, with a proposed new term "pseudolymphomatous adnexitis."
research Effect of minoxidil on rabbit lens epithelial cell behavior in vitro and in situ
Minoxidil may help prevent capsular opacification after cataract surgery.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Self Organized Skin Equivalent by Epithelial and Fibroblast Cells on Polycaprolactone Electrospun Mat with Porous Fibers
Researchers created a potential skin substitute using a biodegradable mat that supports skin cell growth and layer formation.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Design of a biofluid-absorbing bioactive sandwich-structured Zn–Si bioceramic composite wound dressing for hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Development, Structure, and Keratin Expression in C57BL/6J Mouse Eccrine Glands
The study found that mouse sweat glands develop before birth, mature after birth, and have specific keratin patterns.
research Solid state NMR of isotope labelled murine fur: a powerful tool to study atomic level keratin structure and treatment effects
Solid-state NMR can effectively study keratin structure and treatment effects in fur.
research Enhancing hair regeneration: Recent progress in tailoring nano-structured lipid carriers through surface modification strategies
