research Skin equivalent assay: An optimized method for testing for hair growth reconstitution capacity of epidermal and dermal cells
The 3D skin model is better for hair growth research and testing treatments.
research In vivoreprogramming of wound-resident cells generates skin with hair
Scientists can now create skin with hair by reprogramming cells in wounds.
research Development, Characterization, and Use of a Fetal Skin Cell Bank for Tissue Engineering in Wound Healing
Fetal skin cells from a cell bank heal wounds faster and with less scarring than adult cells.
research Ferrous Ferric Chloride Stimulates the Skin Cell Function and Hair Growth in Mice
Ferrous Ferric Chloride may improve skin cell function and increase hair growth in mice.
research Effects of Food-Derived Collagen Peptides on the Expression of Keratin and Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in the Mouse Skin
Eating collagen peptides may help with skin and hair growth.
research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
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 Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult mouse skin contains stem cells that can create new hair, skin, and oil glands.
research Large-Scale Preparation of Hair Follicle Germs Using a Microfluidic Device
A new method using a microfluidic device can prepare hair follicle germs efficiently for potential use in hair loss treatments.
research Author response: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
The balance between cell renewal and differentiation controls the growth of cancerous cells in mouse skin.
research Rapid Genetic Analysis of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Signaling During Hair Regeneration
The method quickly analyzes hair growth genes and shows that blocking Smo in skin cells stops hair growth.
research Estrogen modulates mesenchymal-epidermal interactions in the adult nipple
Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
research Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) transactivates Dlx3 through Smad1 and Smad4: alternative mode for Dlx3 induction in mouse keratinocytes
BMP-2 activates the Dlx3 gene in mouse skin cells, important for hair and skin development.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role during Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
research The Localization of Label-Retaining Cells in Mouse Nails
Stem cells in mouse nails are found in the nail matrix and may control nail growth.
research The Rho guanosine nucleotide exchange factors Vav2 and Vav3 modulate epidermal stem cell function
Vav2 and Vav3 proteins help control skin stem cell numbers and activity in both healthy and cancerous cells.
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 Mechanisms regulating skin immunity and inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration by the Rearrangement of Stem Cells
Stem cells rearrangement regenerates functional hair follicles, potentially treating hair loss.
research Extracellular Caspase-1 induces hair stem cell migration in wounded and inflamed skin conditions
Caspase-1 helps hair stem cells move to heal wounded or inflamed skin.
research Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions
The skin's basement membrane has specialized structures and molecules for different tissue interactions, important for hair growth and attachment.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Structure and function of melanocytes: microscopic morphology and cell biology of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair follicle.
