research Weathering of the hairless scalp: a study using skin capacitance imaging and ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research DataSheet2_Vitiligo: An Autoimmune Skin Disease and its Immunomodulatory Therapeutic Intervention.PDF
New therapies like JAK inhibitors and stem cells show promise in treating vitiligo.
research A Novel Approach to Pattern Dermal Papilla Spheroids in Dermal–Epidermal Composites Using Non-Adherent Microwell Arrays
The new method may improve skin grafts and hair growth.
research Melanin Pigmentary Disorders: Treatment Update
Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.
research 708 Polycomb-mediated repression and Sonic hedgehog signaling regulate Merkel cell specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research The homing of exogenous hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells into hair follicle niches
Exogenous stem cells can effectively integrate into hair follicles, promoting hair growth.
research Isolating Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Epidermal Keratinocytes from Dorsal Mouse Skin
The method successfully isolates hair follicle stem cells and skin cells from mice for research.
research Polyclonal origin and hair induction ability of dermal papillae in neonatal and adult mouse back skin
Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research 448 Combined therapeutic approach: Inhibition of MMP-9 and JAK Signaling Synergistically Prevents Depigmentation in Experimental Vitiligo
Combining MMP-9 and JAK inhibitors can effectively prevent skin depigmentation in vitiligo.
research Abstract 5202: Bone marrow-derived epithelial cells contribute to chronic skin inflammation and skin tumor formation in the mouse
Bone marrow-derived cells can lead to skin inflammation and tumors in mice.
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 441 Anti-melanoma gene signature in dermal sheath fibroblasts from scalp hair follicles in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB)
research Neuropilin 2 expression and function in melanocytes and melanoma
Neuropilin 2 may be a biomarker for melanoma and affects melanocyte behavior.
research mTORC1 activity negatively regulates human hair follicle growth and pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Boosting and Rescuing Epidermal Superior Population from Fresh Keratinocyte Cultures
The method increases stem-like cells for better skin regeneration.
research Large-scale cultivation of transplantable dermal papilla cellular aggregates using microfabricated PDMS arrays
Researchers developed a method to grow hair follicle cells for transplantation using a special chip.
research The Expression of Vitamin D-Upregulated Protein 1 in Skin and its Interaction with Sciellin in Cultured Keratinocytes
VDUP1 is found in skin and hair follicles, interacts with sciellin, and may help regulate skin cell differentiation.
research Supplementary Material for: Immunotherapy-Induced Scarring Alopecia: A Case Series
Immune therapy for cancer can cause rare hair loss but doesn't stop treatment success.
research Pathologic Quiz Case: A 69-Year-Old Man With a Brown-Black Facial Papule
A rare benign skin growth called melanocytic matricoma was identified in a 69-year-old man.
research Effects of SLC45A2 and GPNMB on Melanin Deposition Based on Transcriptome Sequencing in Chicken Feather Follicles
SLC45A2 and GPNMB genes help control chicken feather color by promoting melanin.
research Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transition in a Human Organ: Lessons from Lichen Planopilaris
PPAR-γ agonists like pioglitazone may help manage lichen planopilaris but don't fully reverse scarring.
research Dermoscopy Research—An Update
Dermoscopy has greatly improved the diagnosis of skin lesions and our understanding of their morphology and biology.
research Does Nicastrin Inadequacy Cause Melanocytotoxicity in Human Skin as in the Fish Counterpart?
Nicastrin deficiency may cause skin cell damage and pigmentation disorders in humans, similar to effects seen in fish.
research Isolation of epithelial stem cells from dermis by a three-dimensional culture system
Researchers isolated a new type of stem cell from mouse skin that can renew itself and turn into multiple cell types.
research Surgical Approaches for Repigmenting Vitiligo 2.0
Assessing CD8+ T cell levels before surgery may improve vitiligo treatment outcomes.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
