research Epidermal stem cells: practical perspectives and potential uses
Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) stimulates the proliferation of epithelial cells of the epidermo-pilosebaceous unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research Oxidative Damage Control in a Human (Mini-) Organ: Nrf2 Activation Protects against Oxidative Stress-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition
Activating Nrf2 protects human hair follicles from oxidative stress and helps prevent hair growth inhibition.
research Extracellular Matrix as a Regulator of Epidermal Stem Cell Fate
The extracellular matrix is crucial for controlling skin stem cell behavior and health.
research Stem cell plasticity enables hair regeneration following Lgr5+ cell loss
Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research 25 Years of Epidermal Stem Cell Research
Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
research Exogenous IGF-1 promotes hair growth by stimulating cell proliferation and down regulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 mice in vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
research Lipid peroxides induce early onset of catagen phase in murine hair cycles
Lipid peroxides can cause early hair loss by damaging hair follicles.
research Module-based complexity formation: periodic patterning in feathers and hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research TGF‐β2 is specifically expressed in human dermal papilla cells and modulates hair folliculogenesis
TGF-β2 plays a key role in human hair growth and development.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research The Histopathology of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Different types of hair loss have unique features under a microscope, but a doctor's exam is important for accurate diagnosis.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research A Clinical and Biological Guide for Understanding Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia and Its Prevention
Scalp cooling can help prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss with a 50-90% success rate and is safe for patients.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice Involves Leukocyte-mediated Root Sheath Disruption in Advance of Overt Hair Loss
Hair loss in mice starts with immune cells damaging hair roots before it becomes visible.
research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research Three cases of immune‐mediated adnexal skin disease treated with cyclosporin
Cyclosporin effectively and safely treated skin diseases in three pets with no side effects.
research Circulatory Changes in Alopecia
The document suggests that the traditional understanding of hair growth cycles and alopecia may be inaccurate and that blood supply plays a significant role in hair growth and loss.
research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Methods for quantifying intrafollicular drug delivery: a critical appraisal
The document concludes that there is no agreed-upon best method for measuring drug delivery within hair follicles and more research is needed to validate current techniques.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
