research Wnt Signaling, Lgr5, and Stem Cells in the Intestine and Skin
Lgr5 is a marker for active, self-renewing stem cells in the intestine and skin, important for tissue maintenance.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Activated Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Involve in Pathnogenesis of Sebaceous Neoplasms
Abnormal activation of hair follicle stem cells and Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to sebaceous neoplasms.
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 Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research The role of nuclear hormone receptors in cutaneous wound repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Hedgehog signaling maintains hair follicle stem cell phenotype in young and aged human skin
Hedgehog signaling helps keep hair follicle stem cells the same in both young and old human skin.
research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration in Skin Grafts: Current Concepts and Future Perspectives
Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
research Stem cells and the skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research A guide to studying human dermal adipocytes in situ
The guide explains how to study human skin fat cells and their tissue, aiming to improve research and medical treatments.
research Hair follicular cell/organ culture in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine
Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for hair regrowth despite potential side effects.
research Is there any relationship between decreased AgNOR protein synthesis and human hair loss?
Less AgNOR protein production is linked to hair loss.
research Expression Pattern of Cyclooxygenase-2 in Normal Rat Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Unit during Hair Cycle
COX-2 levels change during the hair cycle and affect skin and hair growth.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Morphogenetic Mechanisms in the Cyclic Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Deer Antlers from Stem Cells
Hair follicles and deer antlers regenerate similarly through stem cells and are influenced by hormones and growth factors.
research Preparing the hair follicle canal for hair shaft emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
research Plant Extracts in Skin Care Products
Plant extracts can benefit skin but must be safe and high-quality.
research Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.
research Integral hair lipid in human hair follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research 691 Topical curcumin promotes induction of the murine hair cycle
Curcumin applied to the skin can start hair growth in mice.
research 689 Regional differences in scalp innervation: A pilot study of the healthy scalp
The back of the scalp has more nerve fibers than the front, which may explain why some people feel more sensitivity there.
research 687 BMP signaling in the hair follicle stem cell niche regulates hair growth and skin pigmentation
BMP signaling controls hair growth and skin color.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Stem cell dynamics in the hair follicle niche
Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
