30-60 / 842 results research Activation of β-catenin signaling programs embryonic epidermis to hair follicle fate
Activating β-catenin can turn skin cells into hair follicles.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research Generation of folliculogenic human epithelial stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
research Keratins and disease at a glance
Keratins are crucial for tissue strength, and mutations in keratin genes can lead to various diseases, highlighting the need for targeted therapies.
research Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Woolly Hair Caused by a Mutation in the Keratin 25 Gene Expressed in Hair Follicles
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.
research Discrimination of Dysplastic Nevi from Common Melanocytic Nevi by Cellular and Molecular Criteria
Dysplastic nevi have unique gene expressions, making them distinct from common melanocytic nevi.
research Hair greying is associated with active hair growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research A homozygous missense variant in type I keratin KRT25 causes autosomal recessive woolly hair
A genetic variant in the KRT25 gene causes tightly curled hair.
research Mutations in the helix termination motif of mouse type I IRS keratin genes impair the assembly of keratin intermediate filament
Mutations in specific keratin genes cause improper hair structure in mice due to faulty keratin protein assembly.
research Ovine Hair Follicle Stem Cells Derived from Single Vibrissae Reconstitute Haired Skin
Ovine hair follicle stem cells can regenerate haired skin and may improve wool production.

Researchers found genes and microRNAs that control curly fleece in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Hairless Plays a Role in Formation of Inner Root Sheath via Regulation of Dlx3 Gene
Hairless protein affects hair follicle structure by regulating the Dlx3 gene.
research Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness
Both gene and non-gene areas of DNA evolved to make some mammals hairless.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research Dermatopathology and molecular genetics
Combining skin tissue pathology with genetics has greatly improved the diagnosis and understanding of certain skin diseases.
research Extracellular proteoglycan decorin maintains human hair follicle stem cells
Decorin helps keep hair follicle stem cells and may prevent age-related hair loss.
