research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research MicroRNA-214 controls skin and hair follicle development by modulating the activity of the Wnt pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research In vitro skin models to study epithelial regeneration from the hair follicle
PSU are better than THF at regenerating skin layers in lab models.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Development and homeostasis of the sebaceous gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research MicroRNAs in the skin: role in development, homoeostasis and regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research An Ovol2‐Zeb1 transcriptional circuit regulates epithelial directional migration and proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Characterization of Primary Cilia and Intraflagellar Transport 20 in the Epidermis
Ift20 is essential for hair follicle function and skin cell movement.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Indian Hedgehog Controls Proliferation and Differentiation in Skin Tumorigenesis and Protects against Malignant Progression
Indian Hedgehog helps control skin cell growth and protects against aggressive skin cancer.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Engineered Skin Substitute Regenerates the Skin with Hair Follicle Formation
The engineered skin substitute helped grow skin with hair on mice.
research K15 promoter-driven enforced expression of NKIRAS exhibits tumor suppressive activity against the development of DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumors
NKIRAS2 can suppress certain skin tumors but its effect on cancer varies with context and expression level.
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 Human keratinocytes derived from the bulge region of hair follicles are refractory to differentiation
Hair follicle cells resist turning into skin cells.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research 742 Augmentation of HGF signaling: Potential for enhancing hair follicle neogenesis and development in bioengineered skin
Boosting HGF signaling could improve the creation of hair follicles in lab-made skin.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
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 Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Development, Homeostasis, and Disease
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and health, and its disruption can cause skin diseases.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Keratinocyte-specific ablation of the NF-κB regulatory protein A20 (TNFAIP3) reveals a role in the control of epidermal homeostasis
A20 protein is crucial for normal skin and hair development.
