research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the intrinsic molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats under natural and shortened photoperiod conditions
Changing light exposure can affect hair growth timing in goats, possibly due to a key gene, CSDC2.

Datura metel leaf extracts help heal wounds effectively.
research Mechanical forces across compartments coordinate cell shape and fate transitions to generate tissue architecture
Mechanical forces are crucial for shaping cells and forming tissues during development.
research New insights into inflammatory memory of epidermal stem cells
Skin stem cells remember past inflammation, helping them respond better to future injuries and possibly aiding in treating skin issues.
research Direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts into hair-inducing dermal papilla cell-like cells by a single small molecule
Peficitinib can turn human fibroblasts into cells that help grow hair.

research Expression of bioactive recombinant human fibroblast growth factor 9 in oil bodies of Arabidopsis thaliana
Scientists successfully made a human growth factor in a plant, which could help with hair growth and bone development.
research Cthrc1 deficiency aggravates wound healing and promotes cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction via non-canonical WNT5A signaling pathway
CTHRC1 is essential for healing and preventing heart rupture after a heart attack.
research MSC-EVs and UCB-EVs promote skin wound healing and spatial transcriptome analysis
MSC-EVs and UCB-EVs improve skin wound healing and reduce scarring.
research Fibroblast Lineage Switching as the Developmental Origin of Scarring and Target for Regenerative Healing
Reprogramming adult fibroblasts may enable scar-free healing.
research Fibroblasts: Origins, definitions, and functions in health and disease
Fibroblasts are crucial for tissue repair and inflammation, and understanding them can help treat fibrotic diseases.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research β-catenin Activity in the Dermal Papilla Regulates Morphogenesis and Regeneration of Hair
β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.
research Mesenchymal–epithelial interactions during hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research Cutaneous Scarring: Basic Science, Current Treatments, and Future Directions
New effective scar treatments are urgently needed due to the current options' limited success.
research What does the concept of the stem cell niche really mean today?
Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
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 Distinct Regulatory Programs Control the Latent Regenerative Potential of Dermal Fibroblasts during Wound Healing
Dermal fibroblasts have adjustable roles in wound healing, with specific cells promoting regeneration or scar formation.
research The activin binding proteins follistatin and follistatin-related protein are differentially regulated in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair
FLRG and follistatin have different roles in wound healing.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Improving the anti-ageing activity of coenzyme Q10 through protransfersome-loaded emulgel
The method improved CoQ10's stability and effectiveness for anti-ageing skincare.
research Fibroblasts: Immunomodulatory factors in refractory diabetic wound healing
Fibroblasts are important in healing diabetic wounds, but high sugar levels can harm their function and slow down the healing process.
