research “Spigo nardo”: from the Erbario Estense a possible solution for its taxonomical attribution
Researchers concluded that "spigo nardo" is the Himalayan plant Nardostachys jatamansi, used historically in medicine and cosmetics, now critically endangered.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research OsUEV1B, an Ubc enzyme variant protein, is required for phosphate homeostasis in rice
OsUEV1B protein is essential for controlling phosphate levels in rice.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Intramembrane Proteolysis of Astrotactins
Astrotactin-2 is cleaved in a specific way that helps understand its maturation.
research Partial Purification and Characterization of Two Distinct Types of Caspases from Human Epidermis
Two distinct caspases in human skin help with cell death and skin formation.

ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.
research Development and evaluation of RADA-PDGF2 self-assembling peptide hydrogel for enhanced skin wound healing
RADA-PDGF2 hydrogel speeds up wound healing and is safe for use.
research Comparison of Polynucleotide and Polydeoxyribonucleotide in Dermatology: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Perspectives
PN hydrates skin; PDRN heals and regenerates skin and hair.
research Analysis of Apoptotic Cell Death in Human Hair Follicles In Vivo andIn Vitro
Apoptosis in hair follicles varies by growth phase, with TGF-β possibly starting the catagen phase.
research Delineation of Matriptase Protein Expression by Enzymatic Gene Trapping Suggests Diverging Roles in Barrier Function, Hair Formation, and Squamous Cell Carcinogenesis
Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.
research Isolation and Characterization of Human Repetin, a Member of the Fused Gene Family of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
research c-Myc activation in transgenic mouse epidermis results in mobilization of stem cells and differentiation of their progeny
c-Myc activation in mouse skin increases sebaceous gland growth and affects hair follicle development.
research Overexpression of the calcium sensing receptor accelerates epidermal differentiation and permeability barrier formation in vivo
Increasing calcium sensing receptor speeds up skin and hair development in mice.
