research Tooth, hair and claw: Comparing epithelial stem cell niches of ectodermal appendages
The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
research Temporal Layering of Signaling Effectors Drives Chromatin Remodeling during Hair Follicle Stem Cell Lineage Progression
Different signals work together to change gene activity and guide hair follicle stem cells to become specific cell types.
research Skin Development and Disease: A Molecular Perspective
Understanding molecular processes in skin development is key to creating targeted treatments for skin disorders.
research Two distinct signaling pathways in hair cycle induction: Stat3-dependent and -independent pathways
There are two ways to start hair growth: one needs Stat3 and the other does not, but both need PI3K activation.
research Thymic stromal lymphopoietin controls hair growth
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth, especially after skin injury.
research Paracrine TGF-β Signaling Counterbalances BMP-Mediated Repression in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation
TGF-β2 helps activate hair follicle stem cells by counteracting BMP signals.
research Eavesdropping on the conversation between immune cells and the skin epithelium
Immune cells help keep skin healthy and repair it, but imbalance can cause disease.
research Transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms governing epidermal stem cell regulation
Understanding how certain proteins and genetic changes control skin stem cells is key to treating skin diseases.
