research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research How to diagnose a lipodystrophy syndrome
The document concludes that recognizing and properly diagnosing lipodystrophy syndromes is crucial for effective management and treatment.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Thyroxine (T4) may promote re-epithelialisation and angiogenesis in wounded human skin ex vivo
Thyroxine (T4) may help heal skin wounds by promoting new skin and blood vessel growth.
research Isolation and Characterization of Sweat Gland Myoepithelial Cells from Human Skin
Human sweat glands contain stem cells capable of self-renewal and forming different cell types.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin.
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research A Unique Expression of Keratin 14 in a Subset of Trophoblast Cells
Keratin 14 is uniquely found in a specific group of placental cells.
research Comparative Proteomic Analysis in Scar-Free Skin Regeneration in Acomys cahirinus and Scarring Mus musculus
The African spiny mouse heals skin without scarring due to different protein activity compared to the common house mouse, which heals with scarring.
research Demethylation of ITGAV accelerates osteogenic differentiation in a blast-induced heterotopic ossification in vitro cell culture model
Removing a methyl group from the ITGAV gene speeds up bone formation in a specific type of bone disease model.
research Proteomic analysis of balding and non-balding mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells from androgenetic alopecia patients using on-line two-dimensional reversed phase-reversed phase LC–MS/MS
Found different proteins in balding and non-balding cells, giving insight into hair loss causes.
research Topical L‐thyroxine: The Cinderella among hormones waiting to dance on the floor of dermatological therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Tracing selection signatures in the pig genome gives evidence for selective pressures on a unique curly hair phenotype in Mangalitza
Selective breeding caused the unique curly hair in Mangalitza pigs.
research Anti-keratin Monoclonal Antibodies for Identifying Animal Hair Fibers
Scientists made antibodies to tell cashmere and wool apart, which could improve how we identify animal fibers.
research Transcriptomics analysis reveals molecular alterations underpinning spaceflight dermatology
Spaceflight can harm skin health by altering gene expression, affecting DNA, mitochondria, and skin barriers.
research A Mixture of Tocopherol Acetate and L-Menthol Synergistically Promotes Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice
A mix of tocopherol acetate and L-menthol helps grow hair better than using them separately or using minoxidil.
research Identification of Breast Cancer-Associated Lipids in Scalp Hair
Breast cancer may be detectable through changes in scalp hair lipids.
research Essential Role of STAT3 Signaling in Hair Follicle Homeostasis
STAT3 signaling is important for healthy skin and hair follicles, and its disruption can lead to skin conditions like atopic dermatitis.
research Differentiation of nestin-negative human hair follicle outer root sheath cells into neurons in vitro
Human hair follicle cells can be turned into neural stem cell-like cells, which might help treat brain diseases.
research A guide for building biological pathways along with two case studies: hair and breast development
The document explains how to create detailed biological pathways using genomic data and tools, with examples of hair and breast development.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Scientific Highlights from the Society for Investigative Dermatology 2010 Annual Meeting
The meeting highlighted major advances in skin research, including new findings on skin microbes, genetic links to skin diseases, and improved treatments for various conditions.
research Enhanced Differentiation Potential of Pigmented Human Epidermal Equivalents
PmtHEE is a better model for studying pigmented skin because it includes melanocytes and shows improved cell differentiation.
research A Window into Mammalian Basement Membrane Development: Insights from themTurq2-Col4a1Mouse Model
