390-420 / 1000+ results research Type II Keratins Are Phosphorylated on a Unique Motif during Stress and Mitosis in Tissues and Cultured Cells
Type II keratins are uniquely phosphorylated during stress and mitosis, affecting their structure and function.
research In vivo imaging of mammary epithelial cell dynamics in response to lineage-biased Wnt/β-catenin activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research A new mutation in the type II hair cortex keratin hHb1 involved in the inherited hair disorder monilethrix
A new mutation in the hHb1 keratin gene is linked to the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Characterization of factors that determine lentiviral vector tropism in skin tissue using an ex vivo model
Lentiviral vector effectiveness in skin is influenced by external factors, not receptor availability.
research Impaired Lef1 activation accelerates iPSC-derived keratinocytes differentiation in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Impaired LEF1 activation speeds up skin cell development in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome.
research Short histological kaleidoscope – recent findings in histology. Part IV
Recent findings in cell biology help understand cell roles in health and disease.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research 588 Skin fibroblast heterogeneity and plasticity are determined by the local niche
Mouse skin fibroblasts vary in function and adaptability based on their environment.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research The CD44+ALDH+ Population of Human Keratinocytes Is Enriched for Epidermal Stem Cells with Long-Term Repopulating Ability
Certain human skin cells marked by CD44 and ALDH are rich in stem cells capable of long-term skin renewal.
research High migratory activity of dermal sheath cup cells associated with the clinical efficacy of autologous cell-based therapy for pattern hair loss
Cells that move well may improve hair loss treatments by entering hair follicles.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues
Trichocytic differentiation starts in cells with epithelial cytokeratins, transitioning to trichocytic cytokeratins in hair and gradually in nails.
research Selective Elimination of NG2-Expressing Hair Follicle Stem Cells Exacerbates the Sensitization Phase of Contact Dermatitis in a Transgenic Rat Model
Removing certain hair follicle stem cells worsens skin reactions to allergens.
research Dissecting Fibroblast Heterogeneity in Health and Fibrotic Disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in both healthy and diseased tissues, and understanding them better could improve treatments for fibrotic diseases.
research Plasticity of differentiated cells in wound repair and tumorigenesis, part II: skin and intestine
