research Pre-aggregation of scalp progenitor dermal and epidermal stem cells activates the WNT pathway and promotes hair follicle formation in in vitro and in vivo systems
Grouping certain skin cells together activates a growth pathway that helps create new hair follicles.
research 840 Early and late matrix progenitors form the terminally differentiated cell layers of the hair follicle
Early and late matrix progenitors in hair follicles create different cell layers, with early ones forming the companion layer and later ones forming the inner root sheath and hair shaft.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research The regulatory role of the tetrapeptide A cSDKP in skin and hair physiology and the prevention of ageing effects in these tissues – a potential cosmetic role
AcSDKP may help prevent skin and hair aging and promote their growth.
research Defining BMP functions in the hair follicle by conditional ablation of BMP receptor IA
BMP receptor IA is essential for proper hair cell differentiation in mice.
research A model system to analyse the ability of human keratinocytes to form hair follicles
Scientists developed a system to study human hair growth using skin cells, which could help understand hair development and improve skin substitutes for medical use.
research 376 Tsc2 disruption in mesenchymal progenitors regulates hair follicles and TGF beta signaling
Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
research SOX2 in the Skin
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research 503 A new chemosensory control of human hair growth: Olfactory receptor OR10J1 stimulation promotes scalp hair follicle growth and progenitor cell generation ex vivo
Stimulating OR10J1 can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research 839 Spatiotemporal antagonism in mesenchymal-epithelial Signaling in sweat versus hair fate decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.
research Col4a2-eGFPmouse model reveals the molecular and functional dynamics of basement membrane remodelling in hair follicle morphogenesis
Scientists made a mouse that shows how a specific protein in the skin changes and affects hair growth and shape.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research Essential Role of Polarity Protein Par3 for Epidermal Homeostasis through Regulation of Barrier Function, Keratinocyte Differentiation, and Stem Cell Maintenance
The protein Par3 is crucial for healthy skin, affecting the skin barrier, cell differentiation, and stem cell maintenance.
research Glutamine Metabolism Controls Stem Cell Fate Reversibility and Long-Term Maintenance in the Hair Follicle
Glutamine metabolism affects hair stem cell maintenance and their ability to change back to stem cells.
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 Stem cell secretome as a new booster for regenerative medicine
Stem cells help repair tissue mainly by releasing beneficial substances, not by replacing damaged cells.
research 699 Effect of Prostaglandin D 2 on hair follicle growth and its impact on hair follicle stem/progenitor cells
Blocking Prostaglandin D₂ may help treat hair loss.
research 701 Signaling networks between stem cell precursors, transit amplifying progenitors, and their niche in developing hair follicles
Blocking Prostaglandin D₂ (PGD₂) could help treat hair loss.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
Using special RNA to target a mutant gene fixed hair problems in mice.
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 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 Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research 764 DNA dioxygenases Tet1/2/3 control hair matrix keratinocyte differentiation and hair shaft shape via regulation of hair keratin gene expression
The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities – Clues to Diagnosis and Treatment
Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field
Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
