research The origins of skin diversity: lessons from dermal fibroblasts
New research shows that skin diversity is influenced by different types of dermal fibroblasts and their development, especially involving the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
research 859 Building a functional niche for hair follicle stem cells
Deleting the CRIF1 gene in mice disrupts skin and hair formation, certain proteins affect hair growth, a new compound may improve skin and hair health, blood cell-derived stem cells can create skin-like structures, and hair follicle stem cells come from embryonic cells needing specific signals for development.
research Effects and Mechanism of Nutrients on Root Hair Growth
Nutrients and hormones affect root hair growth, but more research is needed to understand the genetic mechanisms.
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 The Wave complex controls epidermal morphogenesis and proliferation by suppressing Wnt–Sox9 signaling
The Wave complex controls skin growth by suppressing certain signals.
research 1358 PRC1 fine-tunes gene repression and activation to safeguard skin epithelium development and stem cell specification
PRC1 is essential for proper skin development and stem cell formation by controlling gene activity.
research 1361 A novel cell surface marker for hair follicle dermal cells throughout hair morphogenesis and cycling
Researchers found that the Leptin receptor is a consistent marker for hair follicle dermal cells, which may help future hair research.
research Adipocyte Lineage Cells Contribute to the Skin Stem Cell Niche to Drive Hair Cycling
Fat-related cells are important for initiating hair growth.
research Stem cell dynamics in the hair follicle niche
