Research
570-600 / 1000+ results research Nail Proximal Fold Stem Cells (NPFSCs) Participate In Nail Growth, Orchestrating Enhanced Digit Regeneration via BMP Signaling Activation
Nail stem cells help nail and finger regeneration through BMP signaling.
research The Negative Regulator CXXC5: Making WNT Look a Little Less Dishevelled
CXXC5 is a protein that prevents hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research EGFR Controls Hair Shaft Differentiation in a p53-Independent Manner
EGFR helps control how hair grows and forms without needing p53 protein.
research Expression of Foxi3 is regulated by ectodysplasin in skin appendage placodes
Foxi3 expression in developing teeth and hair is controlled by the ectodysplasin pathway.
research Disruption of P2RY5, an orphan G protein–coupled receptor, underlies autosomal recessive woolly hair
Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause autosomal recessive woolly hair.
research The mouse frizzy (fr) and rat ‘hairless’ (frCR) mutations are natural variants of protease serine S1 family member 8 (Prss8)
The frizzy mouse and hairless rat mutations are due to changes in the Prss8 gene.
research 839 Spatiotemporal antagonism in mesenchymal-epithelial Signaling in sweat versus hair fate decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.
research TTNPB Promotes Human Pluripotent Stem Cell‐to‐Neural Stem Cell Transition via Modulation of Chromatin Accessibility and the S‐(5′‐adenosyl)‐L‐homocysteine/Choline Metabolic Network
TTNPB helps turn stem cells into neural stem cells, improving depression-like behaviors in rats.
research 877 Small T antigen from a folliculotropic polyomavirus activates canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling in vivo
A virus protein can activate a pathway that may lead to abnormal hair follicle development.
research A homozygous single T deletion found in the GGCX gene with PXE-like phenotypes
A gene mutation worsens skin irritation in mice due to a lack of certain fats.
research Direct Conversion of Human Fibroblasts into Hair-Inducing Dermal Papilla Cell-Like Cells by a Single Small Molecule
research 744 Role of Sdf1-Cxcr4 signaling in mouse appendage regeneration
Mice without the p21 gene can fully regenerate injured ears due to reduced Sdf1 increase and leukocyte recruitment, suggesting new ways to induce tissue regeneration in mammals.
research Epidermal growth factor and transferrin receptor expression in human embryonic and fetal epidermal cells
research Epidermal growth factor promotes proliferation of dermal papilla cells via Notch signaling pathway
A substance called epidermal growth factor helps increase the growth of important hair follicle cells by activating a specific cell communication route.
