research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Keratin 79 identifies a novel population of migratory epithelial cells that initiates hair canal morphogenesis and regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
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 Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: An update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
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 Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
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 Thyroid diseases and skin autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
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 Activated Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Involve in Pathnogenesis of Sebaceous Neoplasms
Abnormal activation of hair follicle stem cells and Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to sebaceous neoplasms.
research Label Retention Identifies a Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Like Population in the Postnatal Thymus
The postnatal thymus has cells like mesenchymal stem cells that can become different cell types and help maintain thymus structure.
research iRhom2 Mutation Leads to Aberrant Hair Follicle Differentiation in Mice
A mutation in the iRhom2 gene causes hairless mice due to abnormal hair follicle development.
research Sebaceous gland abnormalities in fatty acyl CoA reductase 2 (Far2) null mice result in primary cicatricial alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
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 Increased Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in the Sera of Patients with Extensive Alopecia Areata
Patients with severe alopecia areata have higher levels of MIF, which decrease after successful treatment.
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 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 Transcriptomics analysis reveals molecular alterations underpinning spaceflight dermatology
Spaceflight can harm skin health by altering gene expression, affecting DNA, mitochondria, and skin barriers.
research Stress, Hair Growth Control, and the Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Connection
Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
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 Straight to the Point: What Do We Know So Far on Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening can damage hair and pose health risks, including exposure to carcinogens and hair loss.
research Single hair fiber assessment techniques to discriminate between mineral oil and coconut oil effect on hair physical properties
Coconut oil makes hair stronger and more flexible than mineral oil.
research Morphological characteristics and notes of the skin in preclinical toxicity assessment
Skin structure complexity and variability are crucial for assessing skin toxicity in safety tests.
research Spatial variation and associated genes of total hair follicle density in goats
Four genes affect hair follicle density in goats.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
