research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Sox9 expression in canine epithelial skin tumors
Sox9 is present in most canine skin tumors and may help understand stem cells' role in these cancers.
research Life of the B10 Mouse: A View from the Hair Follicles and Tissue Stem Cells
Mice skin matures by day 200, leading to aging signs like curved hair follicles and white hairs due to changes in skin stem cells.
research Congenital Combined Melanocytic Nevus of the Scalp With Associated Alopecia Areata
A man with a birthmark on his scalp developed hair loss that improved with treatment, but the link between the birthmark and hair loss was unclear.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Provide a Functional Niche for Melanocyte Stem Cells
COL17A1 is crucial for preventing hair graying and loss by supporting hair and pigment stem cells.
research Twist1 is required for the development of UVB‐induced squamous cell carcinoma
Twist1 is crucial for UVB-induced skin cancer development.
research BIOCHEMICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON WHITE, BROWN AND BLACK SKIN REGIONS OF THE GUINEA PIG
Brown skin in guinea pigs has more ascorbic acid and related enzymes, black skin uses ascorbic acid well, and white skin has the most protein.
research Follicular induction and CK20+ Merkel cells overlying cutaneous focal mucinosis
Some skin growths with mucin can form hair follicles and resemble skin cancer, but a special stain can help tell them apart.
research Author response: Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation-induced tissue damage
Different types of skin cells and immune cells play a role in healing UV-damaged skin, with chronic UV exposure causing lasting damage to certain skin cells.
research Human Hair Follicle and Epidermal Melanocytes Exhibit Striking Differences in Their Aging Profile which Involves Catalase
Hair follicle cells age faster and lose pigment due to less catalase, causing hair to turn gray.
research Targeted expression of activated erbB-2 to the epidermis of transgenic mice elicits striking developmental abnormalities in the epidermis and hair follicles.
Activated erbB-2 in mice skin causes severe skin and hair abnormalities.
research Expression of the hair stem cell-specific keratin 15 in pilar tumors of the skin.

research Quantitative mapping of melanin in hair fibers using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
research Differential Expression of MITF, WNT3A, SLC7A11, and EDN3 in the Shoulder ‘Bider Marking’ of Dun Mongolian Horses
MITF and WNT3A are key in Dun Mongolian horse pigmentation.
research ANTI‐HAIR KERATIN MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (HKN‐2)
HKN-2 antibody targets specific skin and hair cells, showing keratin complexity.
research TGF-α Is Widely Expressed in Differentiated as well as Hyperproliferative Skin Epithelium
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
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 Mimosine Dipeptide Enantiomsers: Improved Inhibitors against Melanogenesis and Cyclooxygenase
Mimosine dipeptides are promising for treating hyperpigmentation and inflammation.
research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium: evidence for a linkage between the segregation of epidermal stem cells and the induction of hair follicles during embryogenesis.
Corneal cells can transform into hair-producing skin cells when exposed to certain signals.
research Skin Pigmentation Types, Causes and Treatment—A Review
Skin pigmentation varies due to genetics, UV exposure, and drugs, with treatments available but requiring medical advice.
research Distinct Fibroblast Lineages Give Rise to NG2+ Pericyte Populations in Mouse Skin Development and Repair
