research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
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 Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Control of hair follicle cell fate by underlying mesenchyme through a CSL–Wnt5a–FoxN1 regulatory axis
Notch/CSL signaling controls hair follicle differentiation through Wnt5a and FoxN1.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
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 BMP-FGF Signaling Axis Mediates Wnt-Induced Epidermal Stratification in Developing Mammalian Skin
Wnt signaling is essential for forming the skin's spinous layer through a BMP-FGF pathway.
research Building Epithelial Tissues from Skin Stem Cells
Skin stem cells help maintain skin health, grow hair, and heal wounds.
research FOXN1: A Master Regulator Gene of Thymic Epithelial Development Program
The FOXN1 gene is crucial for developing immune cells and preventing immune disorders.
research A novel mouse model demonstrates that oncogenic melanocyte stem cells engender melanoma resembling human disease
Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
research p63: a crucial player in epithelial stemness regulation
p63 is essential for controlling epithelial stem cells and tissue health.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research Loss of Keratin K2 Expression Causes Aberrant Aggregation of K10, Hyperkeratosis, and Inflammation
Loss of keratin K2 causes skin problems and inflammation.
research Immune modulation of hair follicle regeneration
Immune cells help regulate hair growth, and better understanding this can improve hair loss treatments.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and Scd1 and Soat1 Activity
Runx1 controls fat-related genes important for normal and cancer cell growth, affecting skin and hair cell behavior.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research ILK modulates epithelial polarity and matrix formation in hair follicles
ILK is essential for proper hair follicle development and structure.
research Regulation of Semaphorin3A in the process of cutaneous wound healing
Sema3A can both slow and speed up wound healing, depending on its form and combination with EGF.
research Human Fetal Scalp Dermal Papilla Enriched Genes and the Role of R-Spondin-1 in the Restoration of Hair Neogenesis in Adult Mouse Cells
Certain genes are more active in baby scalp cells and can help grow hair when added to adult mouse skin cells.
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 Equine Hoof Stem Progenitor Cells (HPC) CD29 + /Nestin + /K15 + – a Novel Dermal/epidermal Stem Cell Population With a Potential Critical Role for Laminitis Treatment
Newly found stem cells in horse hooves show promise for treating a hoof disease called laminitis.
