research Runx Family Genes in Tissue Stem Cell Dynamics
Runx genes are important for stem cell regulation and their roles in aging and disease need more research.
research Large-Scale Preparation of Hair Follicle Germs Using a Microfluidic Device
A new method using a microfluidic device can prepare hair follicle germs efficiently for potential use in hair loss treatments.
research Dissecting the bulge in hair regeneration
Stem cells in hair follicles are diverse and change throughout the hair cycle.
research Characterization of a 300 kbp Region of Human DNA Containing the Type II Hair Keratin Gene Domain
The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.
research Permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia: Case report and review of the literature
Some chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
research 25 Years of Epidermal Stem Cell Research
Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Endogenous human skin equivalent promotes in vitro morphogenesis of follicle-like structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research An update of the pathogenesis of frontal fibrosing alopecia: What does the current evidence tell us?
The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
research Transglutaminase 3: The Involvement in Epithelial Differentiation and Cancer
TGM3 is important for skin and hair structure and may help diagnose cancer.
research Highly Upregulated Lhx2 in the Foxn1−/− Nude Mouse Phenotype Reflects a Dysregulated and Expanded Epidermal Stem Cell Niche
The Foxn1(-/-) nude mouse shows disrupted and expanded skin stem cell areas due to high Lhx2 levels.
research DNA dioxygenases Tet2/3 regulate gene promoter accessibility and chromatin topology in lineage-specific loci to control epithelial differentiation
The enzymes Tet2 and Tet3 are important for skin cell development and hair growth.
research Cicatricial alopecia: What’s new in etiology?
Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.
research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Requirement of zinc transporter ZIP10 for epidermal development: Implication of the ZIP10–p63 axis in epithelial homeostasis
ZIP10 is crucial for skin development and maintaining healthy skin.
research Epidermal and Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells Express Melanoma-Associated Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Core Protein
MCSP may help identify and regulate skin stem cells, affecting hair growth and regeneration.
research Enrichment for Living Murine Keratinocytes from the Hair Follicle Bulge with the Cell Surface Marker CD34
CD34 is a marker for isolating stem-like cells in mouse hair follicles.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Bioengineering the Hair Follicle
Bioengineering can potentially treat hair loss by regenerating hair follicles and cloning hair, but the process is complex and needs more research.
research Epithelial expression of the hormone leptin by bovine skin
Cattle skin has leptin which might control skin and hair growth.
research An eGFP-Col4a2 mouse model reveals basement membrane dynamics underlying hair follicle morphogenesis
Basement membrane changes are crucial for hair follicle development.

High-dose radiation speeds up aging in skin stem cells.
research Progenitor-derived endothelin controls dermal sheath contraction for hair follicle regression
A specific signal from hair cells controls the tightening of the surrounding muscle, which is necessary for hair shedding.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
