Research
90-120 / 1000+ results research Outer root sheath keratinization in anagen and catagen of the mammalian hair follicle. A seventh distinct type of keratinization in the hair follicle: trichilemmal keratinization.
Trichilemmal keratinization is a unique process in hair follicles where the outer root sheath turns into keratin without a specific layer.
research eLife assessment: Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron and Merkel cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Molecular and spatial design of early skin development
The research reveals how early embryonic mouse skin develops from simple to complex structures, identifying various cell types and their roles in this process.
research Tenascin-C expressing touch dome keratinocytes exhibit characteristics of all epidermal lineages
Touch dome keratinocytes in adult skin have traits of different skin cell types.
research Developmental timing of hair follicle and dorsal skin innervation in mice
Nerve growth in mouse skin and hair follicles happens in stages and is closely linked to hair development.
research Anatomy of the Integumentary System
The skin is the body's largest organ, with layers, cells, and structures that protect and support it.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Rat Hair Follicle Dermal Papillae Have an Extracellular Matrix Containing Basement Membrane Components
research In vitro interactions between sensory nerves, epidermis, hair follicles and capillaries in a tissue‐engineered reconstructed skin
The model effectively studies how sensory nerves interact with skin components, aiding research on wound healing and hair growth.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Fine Structure of Perifollicular Nerve Endings in Human Hair
research Rekindling the lost hair‐forming world
Non-hairy skin cells might be used to regenerate hair, helping with baldness and skin wounds.
research Structure and function of the skin, hair and nails
Understanding skin structure and function is key to managing skin diseases and improving quality of life.
research Molecular and spatial landmarks of early mouse skin development
The research maps the complex development of early mouse skin, identifying diverse cell types and their roles in forming skin layers and structures.
research Reprogramming adult dermis to a neonatal state through epidermal activation of β-catenin
Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
research Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron remodeling and Merkel-cell changes happen independently during skin maintenance.
research Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus: A noteworthy presentation
PEODDN is a rare skin disorder with limited treatment options, best treated with laser therapy.
research Formation of surface membranes in developing mammalian hair fibres
Mature hair surfaces are formed by keratinized cells with developed layers, not just modified plasma membranes.
research Epidermis reconstructed from the outer root sheath of human hair follicle. Effect of retinoic acid
Human hair follicles can be used to create skin-like tissue for wound healing and drug testing.
research Hyperinnervation inhibits organ-level regeneration in mammalian skin
Reducing nerve growth can help skin regenerate after birth.
research A Niche Above: A Novel Modality of Stem Cell Regulation in Mammalian Skin Epidermis
Skin cell behavior is influenced by the tightness of nearby cells, affecting their growth and development.
research Reviewer #3 (Public Review): Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis

research Intercellular junctions in normal epidermis
Desmosomal adhesion is essential for healthy skin structure and function.
research LB1774 Establishing competent morphogenetic fields for tissue pattern regeneration in skin organoids
Skin organoids can regenerate hair by forming specific cell units with certain signals.
research Characterization of the epidermal-dermal junction in hiPSC-derived skin organoids
The study created hair-bearing skin models that lack a key protein for skin layer attachment, limiting their use for certain skin disease research.
research Reviewer #1 (Public Review): Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
research [Nevoid bundle hairs].
Naevoid bundle hair is an unusual hair growth pattern where multiple hairs fuse together.
