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 Smoothened receptor inhibitor vismodegib for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma: a retrospective analysis of efficacy and side effects
Vismodegib is effective for basal cell carcinoma but has severe side effects.
research Nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome) and pronounced androgenic alopecia in a woman with a novel mutation p.Leu1159fsx32 in the PTCH gene
A woman with a new PTCH gene mutation has both Gorlin syndrome and severe hair loss.
research Human Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With a Constant Expression of Testosterone Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
research Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
research Advances in the Study of Stem-Cell-Enriched Hair Follicle Bulge Cells: A Review Featuring Characterization and Isolation of Human Bulge Cells
Scientists have made progress in understanding hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific genes and markers, and suggesting their use in treating hair and skin conditions.
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 In vitro expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells and hepatocytes using purified platelet derived growth factors, a potential therapeutic modality for liver fibrosis
10% hPL is best for growing mesenchymal stem cells, while 10% FBS is best for hepatocytes.
research Peer Review #1 of "Induced pluripotent stem cells from human hair follicle keratinocytes as a potential source for in vitro hair follicle cloning (v0.1)"
Human hair follicle cells can be turned into stem cells that may help clone hair for treating hair loss or burns.
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 Next generation human skin constructs as advanced tools for drug development
Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.
research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
research Skin organoids: A new human model for developmental and translational research
Skin organoids are a promising new model for studying human skin development and testing treatments.
research Human Dermal Fibroblasts Demonstrate Positive Immunostaining for Neuron- and Glia- Specific Proteins
Fibroblasts can be mistaken for neural cells, so functional validation is needed.
research Human epithelial stem cell survival within their niche requires “tonic” cannabinoid receptor 1‐signalling—Lessons from the hair follicle
Cannabinoid receptor-1 signaling is essential for the survival and growth of human hair follicle stem cells.
research Human platelet lysate versus minoxidil stimulates hair growth by activating anagen promoting signaling pathways
Both human platelet lysate and minoxidil can promote hair growth, but they affect different genes and cell survival rates.
research Human hair keratin hydrogel : fabrication, characterization and application
Keratin hydrogels from human hair show promise for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
research Use of human intra-tissue stem/progenitor cells and induced pluripotent stem cells for hair follicle regeneration.
Stem cells can help regenerate hair follicles.
research Plucked Human Hair Shafts and Biomolecular Medical Research
Human hair follicles may provide a noninvasive way to diagnose diseases and have potential in regenerative medicine.
research Transcriptome Profiling of Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells in response to Porphyra-334 Treatment by RNA-Seq
Porphyra-334 may help reduce wrinkles and promote hair growth.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Stem cells from human hair follicles: first mechanical isolation for immediate autologous clinical use in androgenetic alopecia and hair loss
Stem cells from hair follicles can safely treat hair loss.
research Human Hair Follicle Regeneration Following Amputation and Grafting into the Nude Mouse
Human hair follicles can regenerate after removal, but with low success rate.
research Human TSC2-null fibroblast-like cells induce hair follicle neogenesis and hamartoma morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Bulge cells of human hair follicles: segregation, cultivation and properties
Researchers found that bulge cells from human hair can grow quickly in culture and have properties of hair follicle stem cells, which could be useful for skin treatments.
