research Evaluation of Gene Expression Patterns in Micrografts Demonstrate Induction of Catagen-Like Processes During Storage
Storing hair follicle micrografts for longer times can cause them to enter a state similar to the natural hair shedding phase, which might impact hair transplant results.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Miniorgan
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
research Age-associated inflammation inhibits epidermal stem cell function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
research Regenerative Medicine Approaches for Engineering a Human Hair Follicle
New treatments for hair loss show promise, including plasma, stem cells, and hair-stimulating complexes, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Fgf9 from dermal γδ T cells induces hair follicle neogenesis after wounding
A protein from certain immune cells is key for new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Keratin 79 identifies a novel population of migratory epithelial cells that initiates hair canal morphogenesis and regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research First symposium on natural gene therapy of the skin
Natural gene therapy shows promise for treating skin disorders like epidermolysis bullosa.
research 854 CCL5 affects the hair-inductive capacity of three-dimensional (3D)-cultured dermal papilla cells
CCL5 is important for the hair growth potential of human dermal papilla cells.
research Novel small molecules downregulate CDK1 expression and inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma by targeting its distinct tumor-specific cellular landscape
Small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 may help treat skin cancer by reducing CDK1 levels and blocking harmful cell signals.
research 606 Connecting signaling dynamics with cell fates in live mice
Stem cells control their future role by changing ERK signal timing, affecting tissue regeneration and cancer.
research 307 Dermatologic toxicities associated with chronic gamma-secretase inhibitor treatment for desmoid tumor
Most patients experienced mild to moderate skin problems during a trial for a desmoid tumor treatment.
research 607 Cutaneous overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 models androgenetic alopecia in adult mice
Cyclooxygenase-2 overexpression in mice skin causes hair loss like human androgenetic alopecia.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Lgr5 marks cycling, yet long-lived, hair follicle stem cells
Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
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 Strategies to enhance epithelial–mesenchymal interactions for human hair follicle bioengineering
Improving the environment and cell interactions is key for creating human hair in the lab.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
