Autoimmune reactions may cause both alopecia areata and HAM.
research Plasticity of differentiated cells in wound repair and tumorigenesis, part II: skin and intestine
Mature cells can re-enter the cell cycle and potentially lead to cancer.
research Dissection of a Complex Enhancer Element: Maintenance of Keratinocyte Specificity but Loss of Differentiation Specificity
Keratinocyte gene expression is controlled by multiple modules with specific binding sites.
research Upregulation of the truncated basic hair keratin 1(hHb1‐ΔN) in carcinoma cells by Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)
EBV infection increases a specific keratin variant in carcinoma cells, possibly affecting cell structure and cancer progression.
research KERATIN 17-related recessive atypical pachyonychia congenita with variable hair and tooth anomalies
A new type of pachyonychia congenita linked to a specific keratin gene mutation was found in two Pakistani families.
research Decision letter: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
Skin cells can naturally limit the growth of cancerous changes by balancing cell renewal and differentiation.
research Corneal Limbal Microenvironment Can Induce Transdifferentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Corneal Epithelial-like Cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells, potentially helping restore vision.
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 Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research 882 Syndactyly type III and hypotrichosis in oculodentodigital syndrome with GJA1 mutation
A boy with Oculodentodigital syndrome had a unique GJA1 gene mutation causing his symptoms.
research Isolating subpopulations of human epidermal basal cells based on polyclonal serum against trypsin-resistant CSPG4 epitopes
The research found a way to identify and study skin cells with stem cell traits, revealing they behave differently in culture and questioning current stemness assessment methods.
research 1424 Mapping the establishment of fibroblast heterogeneity during skin development and wound repair
Skin heals with scars because only one type of fibroblast is used, not a mix.
research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice
Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.
research Focal palmoplantar callosities in non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa
Focal palmoplantar callosities may help diagnose non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.
research Attending persistent T cell activation in alopecia areata : A therapeutic option
Blocking certain proteins on immune cells may help treat alopecia areata.
research Differential metabolic adaptations define responses of winner and loser oncogenic mutant stem cells in skin epidermisin vivo
Mutant stem cells adapt their metabolism differently to outcompete normal cells in the skin.
research Dynamic Behavior and Spontaneous Differentiation of Mouse Embryoid Bodies on Hydrogel Substrates of Different Surface Charge and Chemical Structures
Hydrogel surface properties affect mouse embryoid body differentiation.
research Hemidesmosomes and Notch signaling regulate epidermal differentiation via delamination
Hemidesmosomes and Notch signaling help skin cells mature by moving them to the outer layer.
research Serial cultivation of human scalp hair follicle keratinocytes
A method was developed to grow millions of hair cells from a single hair for research and storage.
research Long‐term culture of skin biopsies: maintenance of fibroblast production and competency of reprogramming
Long-term skin biopsy cultures can produce many fibroblasts that remain functional and can be reprogrammed.
research An Unusual Ala12Thr Polymorphism in the 1A α-Helical Segment of the Companion Layer-Specific Keratin K6hf: Evidence for a Risk Factor in the Etiology of the Common Hair Disorder Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
research Expansion and characterization of epithelial stem cells with potential for cyclical hair regeneration
A specific group of stem cells can help regenerate hair continuously.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Stem and cancer cells Wnt long telomeres
A pathway helps maintain long telomeres in both stem and cancer cells.
research The keratins and their disorders
Mutations in keratin genes cause cell fragility and various skin disorders.
research A new type of pachyonychia congenita.
A new type of pachyonychia congenita may exist, caused by a different keratin mutation.
research Characterization and Localization of Side Population Cells in Mouse Skin
Mouse skin has special cells in the epidermis that decrease with age and are linked to keratinocyte stem cells.
research Stress-induced chemokine production by hair follicles recruits dendritic cells to sites of minor trauma
Hair follicles help attract immune cells to minor skin injuries.
