research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Trichofolliculoma Showing Perineural Invasion
Trichofolliculomas can sometimes be more aggressive than thought.
research Probing keratinocyte and differentiation specificity of the human K5 promoter in vitro and in transgenic mice.
The K5 promoter controls gene expression in skin cells, with specific DNA segments crucial for targeting and regulation.
research Distribution of major histocompatibility antigens in normal skin
Major histocompatibility antigens are found in specific skin cells and structures, but not in sweat glands.
research Permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia: Case report and review of the literature
Some chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
research Hair organ regeneration via the bioengineered hair follicular unit transplantation
Scientists successfully created and transplanted bioengineered hair follicles that function like natural ones, suggesting a new treatment for hair loss.
research New insights into the role of Runx1 in epithelial stem cell biology and pathology
Runx1 affects hair growth, cancer development, and autoimmune diseases in epithelial tissues.
research Keratinocyte differentiation in psoriatic scalp: morphology and expression of epithelial keratins
Psoriasis causes changes in certain keratins and shrinks sebaceous glands in the scalp.
research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research Cylindroma as Tumor of Hair Follicle Origin
Cylindromas likely originate from hair follicle stem cells, not sweat glands.
research Involvement of Wnt, Eda and Shh at defined stages of sweat gland development
Wnt, Eda, and Shh pathways are crucial for different stages of sweat gland development in mice.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Aberrant expression of epidermal growth factor receptor in aural cholesteatoma
Cholesteatoma shows abnormal and increased EGF receptor expression, indicating its rapid growth.
research Trichohyalin: Presence in the Granular Layer and Stratum Corneum of Normal Human Epidermis
Trichohyalin is also found in the outer layers of normal human skin.
research Hair follicle and interfollicular epidermal stem cells make varying contributions to wound regeneration
Different skin stem cells help heal wounds, with hair follicle cells becoming more important over time.
research Role of Zinc in Mucosal Health and Disease: A Review of Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Processes
Zinc is vital for immune health, growth, and preventing diarrhea.
research The Type I Keratin 19 Possesses Distinct and Context-dependent Assembly Properties
Keratin 19 forms less stable and shorter filaments than keratin 14, giving unique traits to certain skin cells.
research Autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid– LPA 3 signaling at the embryo‐epithelial boundary controls decidualization pathways
LPA3 signaling in the uterus is crucial for placental formation and fetal development.
research Keratins 1 and 10 or homologues as regular constituents of inner root sheath and cuticle cells in the human hair follicle.
Keratins K1 and K10 are found in the inner root sheath and cuticle of human hair follicles.
research Modulation of the differentiated phenotype of keratinocytes of the hair follicle and from epidermis
Hair follicle cells need complex interactions to fully differentiate.
research Nonscarring alopecia in systemic lupus erythematosus: A cross-sectional study with trichoscopic, histopathologic, and immunopathologic analyses
Hair loss in lupus patients indicates higher disease activity.
research The regeneration blastema of lizards: an amniote model for the study of appendage replacement
Lizards can regrow their tails, and studying this process helps understand scar-free healing and limb regeneration.
research The spectrum of hair loss in patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.
research Morphology of the testis and the epididymis in rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency.
DHT deficiency in rats reduces sperm content and affects testis structure over time.
research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells
ORS and hair matrix cells balance growth and differentiation better than normal keratinocytes, with human dermal fibroblasts crucial for proper differentiation.
research The spotted lunula
Alopecia areata can cause spotty white areas on nails.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Activated Kras Alters Epidermal Homeostasis of Mouse Skin, Resulting in Redundant Skin and Defective Hair Cycling
Activating Kras in mouse skin causes excess skin and hair loss.
