research Biocomposite nanofiber matrices to support ECM remodeling by human dermal progenitors and enhanced wound closure
The nanofiber scaffolds improved skin wound healing by supporting cell growth and tissue repair.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research A new catalyst for organic synthesis: mercuric triflate
Mercuric triflate is an effective catalyst for various organic reactions, working well at room temperature with high yields.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Next generation human skin constructs as advanced tools for drug development
Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.
research Tumour regression predicts higher risk of sentinel node involvement in thin cutaneous melanomas
Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
research Hair follicle stem cell cultures reveal self‐organizing plasticity of stem cells and their progeny
The study showed that hair follicle stem cells can maintain and organize themselves in a lab setting, keeping their ability to renew and form hair and skin.
research Augmenting Endogenous Wnt Signaling Improves Skin Wound Healing
Boosting Wnt signaling improves skin wound healing.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Recent progress in PLGA-based microneedle-mediated transdermal drug and vaccine delivery
PLGA-based microneedles are promising for safe and effective skin delivery of drugs and vaccines.
research The Inflammatory Caspases-1 and -11 Mediate the Pathogenesis of Dermatitis in Sharpin-Deficient Mice
Certain proteins, caspases-1 and -11, are important in the early development of skin inflammation in mice.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Promotion of homology-directed DNA repair by polyamines
Polyamines help fix DNA damage accurately in cells.
research Anti-androgenic effect of sesquiterpenes isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research 3D printed microneedles: revamping transdermal drug delivery systems
3D-printed microneedles improve drug delivery by being precise, cost-effective, and less invasive.
research Platelet-derived growth factor signaling modulates adult hair follicle dermal stem cell maintenance and self-renewal
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining and renewing hair follicle stem cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Nobiletin-loaded composite penetration enhancer vesicles restore the normal miRNA expression and the chief defence antioxidant levels in skin cancer
Nobiletin-loaded vesicles effectively treat skin cancer by restoring normal miRNA and antioxidant levels.
research Adipose stem cells isolated from diabetic mice improve cutaneous wound healing in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice
Fat stem cells from diabetic mice can help heal skin wounds in other diabetic mice.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
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 Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research Dermal papilla cells induce keratinocyte tubulogenesis in culture
Skin cells can help create early hair-like structures in lab cultures.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
