840-870 / 1000+ resultsresearch Is there a ‘gut–brain–skin axis’?
Probiotics may help reduce stress-related skin issues and improve hair growth.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.
research The Role of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) in Pulmonary Fibrosis
mTOR inhibitors may help treat lung fibrosis.
research Hairy tale of signaling in hair follicle development and cycling
Hair growth and development are controlled by specific signaling pathways.
research Beyond Wavy Hairs
EGFR signaling is crucial for skin and hair health, and targeting it could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Genetic Disorders and Defects in Vitamin D Action
Two rare genetic diseases cause severe rickets in children due to defects in vitamin D metabolism.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
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 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 Impaired Notch‐MKP ‐1 signalling in hidradenitis suppurativa: an approach to pathogenesis by evidence from translational biology
Faulty Notch signalling may cause hair follicle changes and inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa.
research The role of vitamin D receptor mutations in the development of alopecia
Vitamin D receptor mutations can cause alopecia by affecting hair growth genes.
research Development and homeostasis of the sebaceous gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research A slow-cycling LGR5 tumour population mediates basal cell carcinoma relapse after therapy
A small group of slow-growing cells causes basal cell carcinoma to return after treatment.
research K25 (K25irs1), K26 (K25irs2), K27 (K25irs3), and K28 (K25irs4) Represent the Type I Inner Root Sheath Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
K25, K27, and K28 are found in all inner root sheath layers of hair, while K26 is only in the cuticle.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Analysis of the human diseasome using phenotype similarity between common, genetic and infectious diseases
The study found that diseases can be grouped by symptoms and that the accuracy of predicting disease-related genes varies with the data source.
research Ferreting out stem cells from their niches
New methods have greatly improved our understanding of stem cell behavior and roles in the body.
research YAP and TAZ are essential for basal and squamous cell carcinoma initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
