research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Skin biopsy
Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research Regulation of hair follicle development by exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells can help grow hair and might treat hair loss.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
