research 874 Chromatin architectural protein CTCF controls epidermal barrier formation, hair follicle fate maintenance and suppresses inflammatory responses in the skin epithelium
The protein CTCF is essential for skin development, maintaining hair follicles, and preventing inflammation.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Design of a biofluid-absorbing bioactive sandwich-structured Zn–Si bioceramic composite wound dressing for hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Skin physiology in microgravity: a 3-month stay aboard ISS induces dermal atrophy and affects cutaneous muscle and hair follicles cycling in mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Endogenous human skin equivalent promotes in vitro morphogenesis of follicle-like structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research Skin-permeable liposome improved stability and permeability of bFGF against skin of mice with deep second degree scald to promote hair follicle neogenesis through inhibition of scar formation
A new liposome treatment helps heal deep burns on mice by improving hair regrowth and reducing scarring.
research Epidermal Stem Cells in Hair Follicle Cycling and Skin Regeneration: A View From the Perspective of Inflammation
Inflammation plays a key role in activating skin stem cells for hair growth and wound healing, but more research is needed to understand how it directs cell behavior.
research Treatment of Full-Thickness Skin Wounds with Blood-Derived CD34+ Precursor Cells Enhances Healing with Hair Follicle Regeneration
Blood-derived CD34+ cells speed up healing, reduce scarring, and regrow hair in skin wounds.
research Intraoperative Bioprinting of Human Adipose-derived Stem cells and Extra-cellular Matrix Induces Hair Follicle-Like Downgrowths and Adipose Tissue Formation during Full-thickness Craniomaxillofacial Skin Reconstruction
Printing human stem cells and a special matrix during surgery can help grow new skin and hair-like structures in rats.
research Wnt-dependent de novo hair follicle regeneration in adult mouse skin after wounding
Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.
research 1250 Development of an ex vivo human skin explant model to examine candidate gene functions in the hair follicle and epidermis
The model can effectively test gene functions and drug responses in human skin.
research Molecular Regulation and Cellular Heterogeneity in Skin Repair and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
research Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine
Caffeine applied to the scalp can protect hair follicles from UV damage.
research The role of P-cadherin in skin biology and skin pathology: lessons from the hair follicle
P-cadherin is important for hair growth and health, and its problems can cause hair and skin disorders.
research Epidemiology of skin cancer in the mature patient
Older adults have a high rate of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, mainly due to UV exposure and age.
research Assessment of markers expressed in human hair follicles according to different skin regions
Different body parts have varying levels of certain hair follicle markers.
research Ziehl-Neelsen's stain for skin sections to show wool and hair follicles
Ziehl-Neelsen's stain helps identify different parts of hair in sheep and goats.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Dermal Papilla Cells Improve the Wound Healing Process and Generate Hair Bud-Like Structures in Grafted Skin Substitutes Using Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Dermal papilla cells help wounds heal better and can potentially grow new hair.
research Through the lens of hair follicle neogenesis, a new focus on mechanisms of skin regeneration after wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
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 1339 Mature adipocytes inhibit the antimicrobial function of dermal adipogenic stem cells: An explanation for impaired cutaneous defense in obesity
Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.
research Skin structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research Fabrication of Chimeric Hair Follicles for Skin Tissue Engineering
Engineered skin with hair follicles can improve burn treatments.
