research Role of -catenin in Epidermal Stem Cell Expansion, Lineage Selection, and Cancer
Beta-catenin is crucial for skin cell growth, development, and cancer formation.
research New insights into the functions of Cox-2 in skin and esophageal malignancies
Cox-2 significantly contributes to the development and progression of skin and esophageal cancers.
research Hair Growth Defects in Insig-Deficient Mice Caused by Cholesterol Precursor Accumulation and Reversed by Simvastatin
Mice lacking Insig proteins had hair growth problems due to cholesterol buildup, but this was fixed by the drug simvastatin.
research Barley disease susceptibility factor RACB acts in epidermal cell polarity and positioning of the nucleus
RACB in barley is crucial for cell polarity and nucleus positioning, aiding fungal infection.

Marie Antoinette syndrome causes sudden hair whitening, but its exact cause is unknown.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: from the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Disrupted Ectodermal Organ Morphogenesis in Mice with a Conditional Histone Deacetylase 1, 2 Deletion in the Epidermis
Mice without certain skin proteins had abnormal skin and hair development.
research Priming mobilization of hair follicle stem cells triggers permanent loss of regeneration after alkylating chemotherapy
Chemotherapy causes permanent hair follicle damage by triggering stem cell loss.
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 Field Cancerization: From Molecular Basis to Selective Field-Directed Management of Actinic Keratosis
Photodynamic therapy is the preferred treatment for skin precancer due to its effectiveness and safety.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling by EGF receptor is required for hair follicle development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research Stem cells and aberrant signaling of molecular systems in skin aging
Skin aging is caused by stem cell damage and can potentially be delayed with treatments like antioxidants and stem cell therapy.
research Alopecia in Rhesus macaques correlates with immunophenotypic alterations in dermal inflammatory infiltrates consistent with hypersensitivity etiology
Hair loss in Rhesus macaques may be caused by a skin allergy-related condition.
research Identification of an Intronic Regulatory Element Necessary for Tissue-Specific Expression of Foxn1 in Thymic Epithelial Cells
A specific DNA region is crucial for Foxn1 gene expression in thymus cells but not in hair follicles.
research From basal cell carcinoma morphogenesis to the alopecia induced by hedgehog inhibitors: connecting the dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Skin diseases in consequence of endocrine alterations
