research 707 Chromatin remodeler Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is a critical determinant controlling postnatal epidermal growth, differentiation and response to injury
Lymphoid-specific helicase (Lsh) is crucial for skin growth, change, and healing after injury.
research Hair follicle specific ACVR1/ALK2 critically affects skin morphogenesis and attenuates wound healing
Overexpression of ALK2 in hair follicles disrupts skin development and slows wound healing.
research Thy1 marks a distinct population of slow-cycling stem cells in the mouse epidermis
A specific group of slow-growing stem cells marked by Thy1 is crucial for skin maintenance and healing in mice.
research Activation of β-Catenin Signaling in CD133-Positive Dermal Papilla Cells Drives Postnatal Hair Growth
Activating β-catenin in certain skin cells speeds up hair growth in mice.
research Pigmentation of regenerated hairs after wounding
Regenerated hairs can regain their color if the wound occurs during a certain stage of hair growth, and this process is helped by specific skin cells and proteins.
research Making the head: Caspases in life and death
Caspases are enzymes important for both cell death and various non-lethal cell functions, affecting head development and hair growth, with different caspases playing specific roles.
research Defining a Region of the Human Keratin 6a Gene That Confers Inducible Expression in Stratified Epithelia of Transgenic Mice
The human keratin 6a gene's specific sequences trigger expression in skin layers after injury.
research Expression of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta 1) and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) messenger RNA in the developing subcutaneous tissue (SQ) of the fetal pig.
TGF-beta 1 and IGF-II mRNA have specific patterns in pig subcutaneous tissue, affecting fat and muscle development.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Expression of SPARC (secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine) throughout the hair cycle in rats
SPARC likely aids in tissue remodeling during the hair cycle, not in starting new hair growth phases.
research Eyes open on stem cells
Stem cells in the cornea show unexpected flexibility and have important implications for medicine.
research 219 STAT5 activation in the dermal papilla is important for hair follicle growth phase induction, hair follicle regeneration and wound healing
Activating STAT5 in the skin's dermal papilla is key for starting hair growth, regenerating hair follicles, and healing wounds.
research Keratinocyte-derived follistatin regulates epidermal homeostasis and wound repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
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 Smad4-dependent desmoglein-4 expression contributes to hair follicle integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
