research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
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 Atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese patient without hairless (HR) gene mutation
A Taiwanese patient had hair loss and skin bumps without the usual gene mutation, suggesting other genetic factors might be involved.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research The Search for the Causes of Common Hyperandrogenism, 1965 to Circa 2015
Significant progress was made in understanding androgen excess disorders, but much is still unknown.
research Transcription factor-based transdifferentiation of human embryonic to trophoblast stem cells
Researchers converted human embryonic stem cells into trophoblast stem cells using specific transcription factors.
research Tooth Regeneration: Insights from Tooth Development and Spatial-Temporal Control of Bioactive Drug Release
Tooth regeneration could become possible by controlling how and when bioactive factors are released.
research Understanding the molecular basis of mesenchymal stem cell stemness: implications for clinical applications
Understanding how mesenchymal stem cells stay undifferentiated can improve their use in treating diseases.
research The possible implication of the S250C variant of the autoimmune regulator protein in a patient with autoimmunity and immunodeficiency: in silico analysis suggests a molecular pathogenic mechanism for the variant
The S250C variant in a gene may cause autoimmunity and immunodeficiency by impairing protein function.
research Safety and tolerability of antiepileptic drugs in women with epilepsy (literature review and own data)
Some epilepsy drugs can cause reproductive and cosmetic side effects in women and affect pregnancy, but most women still have healthy babies.
research Hyaluronic acid-FGF2-derived peptide bioconjugates for suppression of FGFR2 and AR simultaneously as an acne antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Altered FGF expression profile in human scalp-derived fibroblasts upon WNT activation: implication of their role to provide folliculogenetic microenvironment
WNT activation in scalp fibroblasts boosts hair growth by increasing FGF9.
research Micro‐RNA‐31 controls hair cycle‐associated changes in gene expression programs of the skin and hair follicle
miR-31 regulates hair growth by controlling gene expression in hair follicles.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research MSCs and their exosomes: a rapidly evolving approach in the context of cutaneous wounds therapy
MSCs and their exosomes may speed up skin wound healing but need more research for consistent use.
research Scar Inhibition in Wound Healing: Mechanisms, Design, and Recent Advances
Advancements in gene therapy, stem cells, and biomaterials show promise for reducing scarring in wound healing, but face clinical challenges.
research The beneficial effects of chick embryo extract preconditioning on hair follicle stem cells: A promising strategy to generate Schwann cells
Chick embryo extract helps rat hair follicle stem cells potentially turn into Schwann cells, important for the nervous system.
research Exosome-based Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia: Mechanisms, MicroRNAs, and Clinical Prospects
Exosome therapy could be a promising new way to treat hair loss.
research Hair follicle-derived mesenchymal cells support undifferentiated growth of embryonic stem cells
Hair follicle cells can help keep embryonic stem cells undifferentiated.
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 Regulatory T Cells: the Many Faces of Foxp3
Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Costunolide—A Bioactive Sesquiterpene Lactone with Diverse Therapeutic Potential
