research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
research Epidermal β-catenin activation remodels the dermis via paracrine signalling to distinct fibroblast lineages
Epidermal β-catenin activation changes the dermis by signaling different fibroblast types.
research Deep skin fibroblast-mediated macrophage recruitment supports acute wound healing
Deep skin fibroblasts help recruit immune cells for better wound healing.
research Fibroblast growth factors: key players in regeneration and tissue repair
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) are important for tissue repair and regeneration, influencing cell behavior and other factors involved in healing, and are crucial in processes like wound healing, bone repair, and hair growth.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
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 Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation induced tissue damage
UV exposure harms skin by causing fibroblast loss, but T cells help fibroblast survival.
research Hydrogel crosslinking modulates macrophages, fibroblasts, and their communication, during wound healing
Softer hydrogels help wounds heal better with less scarring.
research 364 Mechanical forces of human dermal fibroblasts significantly decrease with age
Skin cell strength decreases significantly as we age.
research Following fibroblast lineages in dermal development and scars
N-Cadherin is crucial in scar formation, offering potential for scar prevention therapies.
research Fibroblast Growth Factors in Epithelial Homeostasis and Repair
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) help maintain and repair skin tissues, which is important for preventing diseases like inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer.
research Expression of melanocortin receptors on cutaneous fibroblastic cells – collagen and beyond
MC-1R in skin cells may influence inflammation and collagen production.
research CXCL12+ dermal fibroblasts promote neutrophil recruitment and host defense by recognition of IL-17
CXCL12+ fibroblasts help recruit neutrophils to fight skin infections.
research Dissecting the Impact of α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP Signaling on UVA-Induced Stress in Fibroblasts - Implications for Regulation of Cutaneous Photoaging
The α-MSH-MC1R-cAMP pathway does not protect skin cells from UVA damage.
research Extracellular vesicles derived from embryonic day 13 fetal mouse dermal fibroblasts exhibit potential antifibrotic activity
E13 fetal mouse fibroblast vesicles may help reduce scarring.
research Dermal FOXO3 activity in response to Wnt/β-catenin signaling is required for feather follicle development of goose embryos (Anser cygnoides)
FOXO3 is essential for proper feather development in goose embryos.
research Genetically engineered biomimetic ATP-responsive nanozyme for the treatment of cardiac fibrosis
A new engineered treatment shows promise in curing heart fibrosis.
research 1325 Age-dependent loss of the stemness and antimicrobial defense function of dermal fibroblasts is mediated by TGFbeta
Aging reduces skin cell renewal and defense against germs due to TGFbeta, but blocking TGFbeta could help restore these functions.
research 588 Skin fibroblast heterogeneity and plasticity are determined by the local niche
Mouse skin fibroblasts vary in function and adaptability based on their environment.
research Spontaneous hair hyperpigmentation in response to vitamin intake in pregnancy—A clue for homocystinuria
Taking vitamin B6 corrected a pregnant woman's metabolic disorder, which changed her hair color.
research 316 Specialized ribosomes in human dermal fibroblast senescence
Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.
research γδ T Cells Mediate a Requisite Portion of a Wound Healing Response Triggered by Cutaneous Poxvirus Infection
γδ T cells are essential for wound healing after poxvirus infection.
research Smart Nanosilver Strikes Twice: Precision Bacteria Killing Meets Autophagy‐Boosted Healing for Infected Wounds
The new nanosilver treatment effectively kills bacteria and speeds up wound healing with less toxicity.
research Boosting hair follicle regeneration
A protein called FGF9 helps regenerate hair follicles in mice after skin damage, and increasing FGF9 could potentially help human hair growth.
research Abstract 81
Baby and adult skin cells are different, with baby cells having more active pathways that could help grow new hair follicles.
research Comparative Morphological Characterization of Skin after Subcutaneous Application of Hyaluronic Acid and Polycaprolactone in Rats: Establishment of an Experimental Model
Hyaluronic acid and polycaprolactone improve skin regeneration, with polycaprolactone having a stronger effect on healing and tissue repair.
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 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 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.
