research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Patterns of desmocollin synthesis in human epithelia: immunolocalization of desmocollins 1 and 3 in special epithelia and in cultured cells.
Desmocollin 1 and 3 have distinct patterns in human tissues, with Dsc1 in specific skin and hair layers and Dsc3 in various epithelial layers.
research Lymphocytic Mural Folliculitis Resembling Epitheliotropic Lymphoma in Tigers (Panthera tigris)
Tigers had a skin condition causing hair loss and inflammation, but the cause is unknown and treatment didn't work.
research Immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratins and involucrin in calcifying epithelioma: comparative studies with normal skin

research Mitochondrial Function in Murine Skin Epithelium Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions
Healthy mitochondria in skin cells are essential for proper hair growth and skin cell interaction in mice.
research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium: evidence for a linkage between the segregation of epidermal stem cells and the induction of hair follicles during embryogenesis.
Corneal cells can transform into hair-producing skin cells when exposed to certain signals.
research Existence of trichohyalin-keratohyalin hybrid granules: Co-localization of two major intermediate filament-associated proteins in non-follicular epithelia
Trichohyalin is found in non-hair tissues and works with filaggrin in certain skin areas and conditions.
research Defining a Region of the Human Keratin 6a Gene That Confers Inducible Expression in Stratified Epithelia of Transgenic Mice
The human keratin 6a gene's specific sequences trigger expression in skin layers after injury.
research Transformation of amnion epithelium into skin and hair follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
research DHT deficiency perturbs the integrity of the rat seminiferous epithelium by disrupting tight and adherens junctions
DHT deficiency can disrupt cell connections in rat testes, possibly affecting fertility.
research Ability of Transplanted Cultured Epithelium to Respond to Dermal Papillae
Cultured epithelium can form hair follicles when combined with dermal papillae.
research Eavesdropping on the conversation between immune cells and the skin epithelium
Immune cells help keep skin healthy and repair it, but imbalance can cause disease.
