research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Follicular transport route – Research progress and future perspectives
Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
research Roles of jumonji and jumonji family genes in chromatin regulation and development
Jumonji genes are important for development and their mutations can cause abnormalities, especially in the heart and brain.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Generation of folliculogenic human epithelial stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway for Developing Therapies for Hair Loss
Activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Development and progression of alopecia in the vitamin D receptor null mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Bioengineering a 3D integumentary organ system from iPS cells using an in vivo transplantation model
Researchers created a fully functional, bioengineered skin system with hair from stem cells that successfully integrated when transplanted into mice.
research Mast cell deficient and neurokinin-1 receptor knockout mice are protected from stress-induced hair growth inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Hairless and Wnt Signaling: Allies in Epithelial Stem Cell Differentiation
The HR protein's role as a repressor is essential for controlling hair growth.
research Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Permanent scalp alopecia related to breast cancer chemotherapy by sequential fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) and docetaxel: a prospective study of 20 patients
Some breast cancer chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
research Genetic interplays between Msx2 and Foxn1 are required for Notch1 expression and hair shaft differentiation
Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.
