research From a stem-cell–centered to a niche-centered view: the core role of collagen networks in hair loss and hair follicle miniaturization
Collagen networks play a key role in hair loss and follicle miniaturization.
research Tracing the cellular origin of cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Spontaneous tumour regression in keratoacanthomas is driven by Wnt/retinoic acid signalling cross-talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research JunB defines functional and structural integrity of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit in the skin
JunB is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and hair follicles.
research Multi-potentiality of a new immortalized epithelial stem cell line derived from human hair follicles
Scientists created a long-lasting stem cell line from human hair that can turn into different skin and hair cell types.
research Essential Role of Polarity Protein Par3 for Epidermal Homeostasis through Regulation of Barrier Function, Keratinocyte Differentiation, and Stem Cell Maintenance
The protein Par3 is crucial for healthy skin, affecting the skin barrier, cell differentiation, and stem cell maintenance.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Lack of Collagen VI Promotes Wound-Induced Hair Growth
Mice without collagen VI have slower hair growth normally but faster regrowth after injury.
research In focus in HCB
The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
research Calreticulin: non‐endoplasmic reticulum functions in physiology and disease
Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research Rapid formation of multicellular spheroids in double-emulsion droplets with controllable microenvironment

research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
research Bioengineering skin using mechanisms of regeneration and repair
Artificial skin development has challenges, but new materials and understanding cell behavior could improve tissue repair. Also, certain growth factors and hydrogel technology show promise for advanced skin replacement therapies.
research Alopecia areata profiling shows TH1, TH2, and IL-23 cytokine activation without parallel TH17/TH22 skewing
Alopecia areata involves immune activation in the scalp, suggesting treatments targeting TH1, TH2, and IL-23 pathways.
research Mechanical stretch induces hair regeneration through the alternative activation of macrophages
Mechanical stretching of the skin can promote hair growth by activating certain immune cells.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Human αβ and γδ T Cells in Skin Immunity and Disease
Certain types of T cells are essential for healthy skin and play a role in skin diseases, but more research is needed to improve treatments.
research Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle
Blue light promotes hair growth by interacting with specific receptors in hair follicles.
