research Revisiting the significance of keratin expression in complex epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research 1378 Identification of two distinct stem cell clusters, Lrig1-derived and Wnt/CD44-dependent, in corneal epithelium
The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells in vitro and in vivo
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway can activate melanocyte stem cells and may help regenerate hair follicles.
research Wnt10b Promotes Differentiation of Mouse Hair Follicle Melanocytes
Wnt10b helps hair follicle cells mature and produce pigment.
research Building Epithelial Tissues from Skin Stem Cells
Skin stem cells help maintain skin health, grow hair, and heal wounds.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research 1334 Beyond goosebumps: Interactions between the hair follicle, the arrector pili muscle, and the sympathetic nerve during development and hair follicle regeneration
Arrector pili muscle regulates hair follicle stem cells, DNA methylation needed for hair cycling, and Wnt/B-catenin signaling starts hair growth.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
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 The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
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 Dormant tumor cells in ret transgenic mouse melanoma model and their interaction with memory T cells
Dormant melanoma cells in mice interact minimally with memory T cells due to a suppressive tumor environment.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Towards developing an organotypic model for the preclinical study and manipulation of human hair matrix-dermal papilla interactions
The study created a new model to better understand human hair growth and health.
research Nestin is a marker of unipotent embryonic and adult progenitors differentiating into an epithelial cell lineage of the hair follicles
Nestin identifies specific progenitor cells in hair follicles that can become outer root sheath cells.
research Functional characterization of OR51B5 and OR1G1 in human lung epithelial cells as potential drug targets for non-type 2 lung diseases
Blocking certain receptors in the lungs might help treat a specific type of asthma.
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 1338 Dermal Wnt/β-catenin activation tunably controls hair follicle initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Control by a hair’s breadth: the role of microRNAs in the skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Resident Stem Cell in Skin
Skin stem cells can help improve skin repair and regeneration.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Revisited: The Key to Alopecia Areata Management
Restoring hair bulb immune privilege is crucial for managing alopecia areata.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
