research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Damage limitation: comparing the impact of polymers on bleached hair, when applied within or as post-bleach treatments
Polymers help reduce damage and improve bleached hair when used during or after bleaching.
research Integration of Biochemical and Mechanical Signals at the Nuclear Periphery: Impacts on Skin Development and Disease
The conclusion is that the nuclear lamina and LINC complex in skin cells respond to mechanical signals, affecting gene expression and cell differentiation, which is important for skin health and can impact skin diseases.
research A Rapid Extraction Procedure of Human Hair Proteins and Identification of Phosphorylated Species.
A new method quickly extracts and identifies proteins from hair and other keratin sources.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
research A two-phase model of skin epidermal stratification: lessons from centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Whole exome sequencing in Alopecia Areata identifies rare variants in KRT82
Rare changes in the KRT82 gene are linked to a higher risk of Alopecia Areata.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effect of 4HGF Encapsulated with PGA Nanoparticles (PGA-4HGF) by β-Catenin Activation and Its Related Cell Cycle Molecules
PGA-4HGF may help treat hair loss by activating hair growth pathways and extending the hair growth phase.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Formation of the cornified envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholestrolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research Characterisation of cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation in a maximally proliferative human epithelial tissue: Lessons from the human hair follicle matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Hair growth promoting effects of adipose tissue-derived stem cells
Fat tissue stem cells may help increase hair growth.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds—Revisiting the cause of a well-known disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Mouse Hair Follicles Reduce Hypertrophic Scarring in a Murine Wound Healing Model
Mouse stem cells from hair follicles can improve wound healing and reduce scarring.
research The Critical Roles of Serum/Glucocorticoid-Regulated Kinase 3 (SGK3) in the Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
SGK3 is essential for proper hair growth and health.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Protein disulphide isomerase-mediated grafting of cysteine-containing peptides onto over-bleached hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Fine structure and immunocytochemistry of monotreme hairs, with emphasis on the inner root sheath and trichohyalin‐based cornification during hair evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Discoid lupus alopecia complicated by frontal fibrosing alopecia on a background of androgenetic alopecia
Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.
