450-480 / 1000+ results research Editor's evaluation: Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
research Transient expression of keratin 19 is induced in originally negative interfollicular epidermal cells by adhesion of suspended cells.
Keratin 19 expression in certain skin cells is temporary and not a reliable stem cell marker.
research DNA Methylation as an Epigenetic Memory Keeper during Skin Development and Regeneration
DNA methylation is essential for skin and hair follicle development, and could be a target for treating skin diseases.
research Effect of disulfide bonds in human hair fibers on the melting behavior of their crystalline structure
Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.
research Active mitochondria in healthy spiny mouse fibroblasts resemble megamitochondria and remain resilient across lifespan
Spiny mice have resilient, large mitochondria that help them regenerate tissue.
research Follicular cell implantation: an update on “hair follicle cloning”
The document concludes that while "hair follicle cloning" shows promise for unlimited donor hair, it faces challenges with consistency and safety in humans.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss is caused by the breakdown of a protein called COL17A1 in hair follicle stem cells.
research 567 Skin aging and carcinogenesis mechanisms by focusing on the stem cell competitive dynamics
Skin aging and cancer development are influenced by the competition between stem cells.
