research In vivo transcriptional governance of hair follicle stem cells by canonical Wnt regulators
Wnt signaling controls whether hair follicle stem cells stay inactive or regenerate hair.
research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
research Cutaneous complications of chemotherapeutic agents
Chemotherapy can cause skin problems like hair loss, mouth sores, and skin darkening, and recognizing these can affect treatment decisions.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Mechanical stretch induces hair regeneration through the alternative activation of macrophages
Mechanical stretching of the skin can promote hair growth by activating certain immune cells.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management
Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Tributyltin (TBT) effects on Ocinebrina aciculata (Gastropoda: Muricidae): imposex development, sterilization, sex change and population decline
Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.

research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cutaneous wound healing: Where we are and where we are heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Dermatological adverse events with taxane chemotherapy
Taxane chemotherapy can cause skin, hair, and nail side effects, which are often under-reported and can affect patient quality of life.
research Signaling in the stem cell niche: regulating cell fate, function and plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
