research Self Organized Skin Equivalent by Epithelial and Fibroblast Cells on Polycaprolactone Electrospun Mat with Porous Fibers
Researchers created a potential skin substitute using a biodegradable mat that supports skin cell growth and layer formation.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Sensory Reinnervation of Human Skin by Human Neural Stem Cell‒Derived Peripheral Neurons Ex Vivo
Human skin can be reconnected to nerves using stem cells, which may help with skin health and healing.
research Fabrication and characterization of epithelial scaffolds for hair follicle regeneration
Scientists created three types of structures to help regrow hair follicles, and all showed promising results for hair regeneration.
research 289 Immortalization of primary human dermal papilla cells by Bmi-1 and TERT
Hair care products reduced hair roughness, a combination of Stemoxydine and Resveratrol increased hair density, fermented mackerel oil promoted hair growth, and genes TERT and Bmi-1 helped create new hair follicles.
research [The structure of the skin of the ear in domesticated pigs, with special reference to their use for human dermatological research. 2. Specific histology of the integument].
Pig ear skin is similar to human skin, making it useful for research, but it has some differences.

research Raman spectroscopic analysis of L‐phenylalanine and hydrolyzed eggwhite protein penetration into keratin fibers
L-phenylalanine and hydrolyzed eggwhite protein deeply penetrate human hair.
research Three-Dimensional Morphology of Touch Domes in Human Hairy Skin by Correlative Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
Touch domes in human skin are complex sensory structures not directly linked to hair.
research Electrospun Fibrous Sponge via Short Fiber for Mimicking 3D ECM
The new 3D sponge-like material helps cells grow and heals wounds effectively.
research 190 Deficiency of the Human Cysteine Protease Inhibitor Cystatin M/E Causes Hypotrichosis and Dry Skin
Not having enough cystatin M/E protein causes less hair growth and dry skin.
research A nude mouse model of hypertrophic scar shows morphologic and histologic characteristics of human hypertrophic scar
Nude mice with grafted human skin developed scars similar to human hypertrophic scars.
research Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.
research Investigation of age-related decline of microfibril-associated glycoprotein-1 in human skin through immunohistochemistry study
MAGP-1 decreases with age, leading to weaker, sagging skin.
research Author response: Involvement of ILC1-like innate lymphocytes in human autoimmunity, lessons from alopecia areata
ILC1-like cells may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
