research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Identification of a secreted BMP antagonist, ectodin, integrating BMP, FGF, and SHH signals from the tooth enamel knot
Ectodin integrates BMP, SHH, and FGF signals in developing ectodermal organs.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research Melanocyte stem cells: a melanocyte reservoir in hair follicles for hair and skin pigmentation
Melanocyte stem cells in hair follicles are key for hair color and could help treat greying and pigment disorders.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
