Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.
research Rac-dependent signaling from keratinocytes promotes differentiation of intradermal white adipocytes
Signals from skin cells controlled by Rac proteins help turn certain precursor cells into white fat cells.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research 861 Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) under dynamic optical coherence tomography (D-OCT)
D-OCT shows increased blood vessel growth in response to tissue damage in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and is useful for diagnosis and monitoring.
research Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
