research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research 644 Tumor cell adhesion as a risk factor for SLN metastasis and predictor of disease recurrence in primary cutaneous melanoma
Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research Molecular basis of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia: an update
Mutations in specific genes disrupt development of sweat glands, teeth, hair, skin, and nails in HED.
research Fetuin-A: A Major Fetal Serum Protein that Promotes “Wound Closure” and Scarless Healing
Fetuin-A helps wounds heal without scars by promoting cell movement.
research MICRO-MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF SKIN IN DEVELOPING HUMAN FETUSES AND ITS CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Understanding fetal skin development helps diagnose congenital skin diseases.
research Impact of different mating and surgical protocols on the establishment of a mouse model for fetal scarless skin healing
The improved surgical method increases success and reduces fetal loss in fetal mouse models for scarless skin healing.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
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 The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Dermal exosomes containing miR-218-5p promote hair regeneration by regulating β-catenin signaling
Dermal exosomes with miR-218-5p boost hair growth by controlling β-catenin signaling.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research miR‐218‐5p regulates skin and hair follicle development through Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2
miR-218-5p helps skin and hair growth by targeting SFRP2 and activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Phosphatidic Acid Has a Potential to Promote Hair Growth In Vitro and In Vivo, and Activates Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Kinase in Hair Epithelial Cells
Phosphatidic acid may help hair grow by affecting cell growth pathways.
research Autophagy is essential for maintaining the growth of a human (mini-)organ: Evidence from scalp hair follicle organ culture
Autophagy is important for human hair growth and health.
research p53‐dependent transcriptional regulation of EDA2R and its involvement in chemotherapy‐induced hair loss
The study concludes that the EDA2R gene is activated by p53 during chemotherapy but is not necessary for chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research Expression patterns of programmed cell death 4 protein in normal human skin and some representative skin lesions
Increasing PDCD4 protein may help prevent or treat some skin cancers.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
research Stress-induced c-Jun-dependent Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) Activation Dissects the Non-classical VDR Pathway from the Classical VDR Activity
Stress activates a special function of the Vitamin D receptor with the help of c-Jun, which can also prevent cell death.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by EGF receptor is required for hair follicle development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research Combination of media, biomaterials and extracellular matrix proteins to enhance the differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells into neurons
Using certain small proteins with a growth factor and specific materials can increase the creation of neurons from stem cells.
research Identification of ultraviolet B radiation-induced microRNAs in normal human dermal papilla cells
