research Emerging role of ILK and ELMO2 in the integration of adhesion and migration pathways
ILK and ELMO2 help cells move and stick together, important for wound healing and hair growth.
research Interleukin-1 Induces Transcription of Keratin K6 in Human Epidermal Keratinocytes
Interleukin-1 increases keratin K6 production in skin cells.
research Impaired Keratinocyte Proliferative and Clonogenic Potential in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in the Epidermis
Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in mice skin reduces cell growth and hair density.
research In Vitro Differences Between Keratinocyte Stem Cells and Transit-Amplifying Cells of the Human Hair Follicle
Hair follicle stem cells have greater longevity and adhesion, while transit-amplifying cells are more mobile.
research CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Generation ofCOL7A1-deficient Keratinocyte Model of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
Scientists created cell lines to study a genetic skin disorder using CRISPR technology.
research 879 IL-9 mediated human primary keratinocytes invasion is dependent on MLC controlled contractility and independent of MMP activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research Expression of involucrin in normal, hyperproliferative and neoplastic mouse keratinocytes
Involucrin is a useful marker for keratinocyte differentiation in mice.
research Identification of the C-terminal tail domain of AHF/trichohyalin as the critical site for modulation of the keratin filamentous meshwork in the keratinocyte
The C-terminal tail of AHF/trichohyalin is essential for organizing keratin filaments in keratinocytes.
research Characterization of sciellin, a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes
Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
research Necl2 regulates epidermal adhesion and wound repair
Necl2 affects skin cell behavior and slows wound healing.
research Evidence that Myc activation depletes the epidermal stem cell compartment by modulating adhesive interactions with the local microenvironment
Myc activation reduces skin stem cells by affecting cell adhesion.
research Expression of the Orphan Protein Plet-1 during Trichilemmal Differentiation of Anagen Hair Follicles
Plet-1 protein helps hair follicle cells move and stick to tissues.
research 026 Altered Skin Wound Healing in Homeobox Gene Msx-2 Knockout Mice
Msx-2 gene removal speeds up skin wound healing in mice.
research Constitutive activation of S tat3 in mouse epidermis is linked to hair deficiency and cytoskeletal network damage
Overactive Stat3 in mouse skin causes hair loss and cell structure damage.
research Mechanisms of repigmentation induced by photobiomodulation therapy in vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research Keratinocyte Growth Factor Modified Messenger RNA Accelerating Cell Proliferation and Migration of Keratinocytes
Modified KGF mRNA helps skin cells grow and move faster, which may improve wound healing.
research Conditional knock out of N-WASP in keratinocytes causes skin barrier defects and atopic dermatitis-like inflammation
N-WASP is essential for healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
research A Mouse Model for Conditional Expression of Activated β-Catenin in Epidermal Keratinocytes
Activated β-catenin affects hair growth and skin thickness, and changes are reversible.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Growth factors IGF-1 and KGF and adipose-derived stem cells promote migration and viability of primary human keratinocytes in an in vitro wound model
IGF-1, KGF, and stem cells help skin cells move and survive, potentially speeding up wound healing.
research The enhancement of dermal papilla cell aggregation by extracellular matrix proteins through effects on cell–substratum adhesivity and cell motility
Skin cell clumping for hair growth is improved by a protein called fibronectin, which helps cells stick and move better.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Alteration of Skin Wound Healing in Keratinocyte-Specific Mediator Complex Subunit 1 Null Mice
MED1 affects skin wound healing differently in young and old mice.
research 877 Integration of magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy for exploring the mechanobiology of keratinocyte cell-cell and cell-matrix anchoring junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research 874 Elevated expression of osteopontin splice variants in nonmelanoma skin cancer compared to normal skin and adult keratinocytes
Nonmelanoma skin cancers have higher levels of certain osteopontin variants than normal skin.
