research GDNF neurotrophic factor signaling determines the fate of dermal fibroblasts in wound‐induced hair neogenesis and skin regeneration
GDNF signaling helps in hair growth and skin healing after a wound.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research RNA sequencing reveals lncRNA-mediated non-mendelian inheritance of feather growth change in chickens
Long non-coding RNAs affect feather growth in chickens in ways that don't follow traditional genetic rules.
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 Cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 expression alters the number of keratinocyte stem cells in the mouse hair follicle
Changing CDK4 levels affects the number of stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Inhibition of Bmp signaling affects growth and differentiation in the anagen hair follicle
Inhibiting Bmp signaling disrupts hair growth and differentiation.
research Human Hair Graying Revisited: Principles, Misconceptions, and Key Research Frontiers
Hair graying is caused by damage and cell depletion but might be temporarily reversible with drugs and hormones.
research Skin cancer: understanding the journey of transformation from conventional to advanced treatment approaches
New treatments like nanotechnology show promise in improving skin cancer therapy.
research Analysis of 72,469 UK Biobank exomes links rare variants to male-pattern hair loss
Rare genetic variants in five specific genes are linked to male-pattern hair loss but only account for a small part of the risk.
research Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices
Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
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 CD201+ fascia progenitors choreograph injury repair
CD201+ fascia progenitors are essential for wound healing and could be targeted for treating skin conditions.
research From basic biology to engineered therapies: the keratinocyte stem cell playbook
Keratinocyte stem cells are crucial for skin renewal and have potential in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research The role of multiomics in revealing the mechanism of skin repair and regeneration
Multiomics helps understand and improve skin healing and repair.
research Integrative skin phenotypic and transcriptomic analyses reveal candidate genes for coat color and fiber length in four Chinese goat breeds (<i>Capra hircus</i>)
Genes linked to coat color and fiber length in Chinese goats were identified.
research Embryologic layers in dermatology: Developmental checkpoint disorders, diagnostic insight, and regenerative futures
Understanding embryologic layers improves skin disorder diagnosis and supports developing targeted therapies.
research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type
Hair follicle dermal stem cells are key for regenerating parts of the hair follicle and determining hair type.
research Mechanisms and cell lineages in lymphatic vascular development
Lymphatic vessels develop from various cell types and mechanisms, not just veins.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Erasing the methyl mark: histone demethylases at the center of cellular differentiation and disease
Histone demethylases can change gene expression and may be linked to diseases like cancer.
research Somatic stem cell heterogeneity: diversity in the blood, skin and intestinal stem cell compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
