research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research Keratinocyte-derived follistatin regulates epidermal homeostasis and wound repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.

The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
research Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques
Curly wool has more orthocortex than straight wool.
research Hair Biology and Nutritional Influences
Eating a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals is important for healthy hair, but too many supplements can be harmful.
research 1324 Impairment of hair-inducing capacity of 3D-cultured human dermal papilla cells by the ablation of STAT5
Removing STAT5 from 3D-cultured human skin cells reduces their ability to grow hair.
research 1327 Effect of ginsenoside Rd on dermal epidermal junction in fibroblast
Ginsenoside Rd may help improve skin aging by increasing collagen in the skin.
research 1325 Age-dependent loss of the stemness and antimicrobial defense function of dermal fibroblasts is mediated by TGFbeta
Aging reduces skin cell renewal and defense against germs due to TGFbeta, but blocking TGFbeta could help restore these functions.
research 1326 Hes1 regulates anagen initiation and hair follicle regeneration through modulation of hedgehog signaling
research Physiological and retinoid-induced proliferations of epidermis basal keratinocytes are differently controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research USES OF ONION (Allium cepa L.) & ALOE VERA (Aloe barbadensis Miller) POST HAIR DYE TREATMENT
Onion and Aloe vera can help protect hair from damage caused by hair dyes.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation
Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin development.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Hair follicles, their disorders and their opportunities
