research The Progress of Epidermal Stem Cell Research
Epidermal stem cells help renew skin and heal wounds, influenced by specific proteins and markers.
research Rac1 Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Integrity but Is Not Essential for Maintenance of the Epidermis
Rac1 is vital for hair follicle health but not needed for skin maintenance.
research iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics revealing the therapeutic mechanism of a medicinal and edible formula YH0618 in reducing doxorubicin-induced alopecia by targeting keratins and TGF-β/Smad3 pathway
YH0618 helps reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Dermal papilla-induced hair differentiation of adult epithelial stem cells from human skin
Dermal papilla cells help skin stem cells grow into hair.

Pilomatricoma can develop into various hair-related structures.
research Coenzyme Q10 has anti-aging effects on human hair
Coenzyme Q10 helps reduce aging in human hair.
research Inhibition of Bmp signaling affects growth and differentiation in the anagen hair follicle
Inhibiting Bmp signaling disrupts hair growth and differentiation.
research Keratinocyte differentiation in psoriatic scalp: morphology and expression of epithelial keratins
Psoriasis causes changes in certain keratins and shrinks sebaceous glands in the scalp.
research Cornification in reptilian epidermis occurs through the deposition of keratin‐associated beta‐proteins (beta‐keratins) onto a scaffold of intermediate filament keratins
Reptile skin hardens by layering beta-proteins on keratin.
research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells
