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 Scanning electron microscopic features of the ovine interdigital sinus
The ovine interdigital sinus has a complex structure with three layers and various skin-like features.
research The stratum corneum barrier: impaired function in relation to associated lipids and proteins
The skin's outer layer relies on lipids and proteins to protect against damage.
research [Difference between the hair follicle cell and epidermal keratinocyte in vitro].
Hair follicle cells and skin cells differ in keratinization and other features.
research Limbal microenvironment can induce transdifferentiation of hair follicle stem cells into corneal epithelial‐like cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells with the right environment.
research Isolation of epithelial stem cells from dermis by a three-dimensional culture system
Researchers isolated a new type of stem cell from mouse skin that can renew itself and turn into multiple cell types.
research Proteomics Characterization of Primary Human Oral Epithelial Cells Using a Novel Culture Technique for Use in Tissue Regeneration
ePUKs could be valuable for regenerative medicine due to their wound healing abilities.
research Corneal Limbal Microenvironment Can Induce Transdifferentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells into Corneal Epithelial-like Cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells, potentially helping restore vision.
research 성장기 모낭에서 큐티클층의 각질화 과정
The cuticle layer in hair follicles thickens during keratinization due to incomplete cytosol loss.
research Diversity of human skin three-dimensional organotypic cultures
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Proliferating trichilemmal cyst with histological malignant transformation: Identification of hair sheath keratins in the tumor.
A hair cyst can become cancerous, showing specific keratins from the hair sheath.
research Three-Dimensional Analysis of Cell Division Orientation in Epidermal Basal Layer Using Intravital Two-Photon Microscopy
Cell division orientation varies by body site and is linked to epidermal thickness and cell density.
research Existence of various structural zones in keratinous tissues revealed by X-ray microdiffraction
Keratinous tissues have multiple structural layers, including ordered keratin and lipid granules.
research Dermal-epidermal interactions—follicle-derived cell populations in the study of hair-growth mechanisms
Dermal-epidermal interactions are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.

research Epidermal cyst containing numerous spherules of keratin
The cyst had unusual keratin spherules and resembled bone marrow.
research Patterns of expression of trichocytic and epithelial cytokeratins in mammalian tissues
Trichocytic differentiation starts in cells with epithelial cytokeratins, transitioning to trichocytic cytokeratins in hair and gradually in nails.
research Pseudoepitheliomatous Hyperplasia in Lichen Sclerosus of the Vulva
PEH in vulvar LS is common and needs careful diagnosis to avoid confusion with cancer.
