research Timing of expression of the core clock gene Bmal1 influences its effects on aging and survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
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 Activator Protein-1 Activity Regulates Epithelial Tumor Cell Identity
AP-1 controls tumor cell type by affecting key signaling pathways.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Brg1 Governs a Positive Feedback Circuit in the Hair Follicle for Tissue Regeneration and Repair
Brg1 is crucial for hair growth and skin repair by maintaining stem cells and promoting regeneration.
research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
research Establishment of an in vitro organoid model of dermal papilla of human hair follicle
Researchers developed a 3D model of human hair follicle cells that can help understand hair growth and test new hair loss treatments.
research De Novo Production of Dermal Papilla Cells during the Anagen Phase of the Hair Cycle
New cells are added to the hair's dermal papilla during the active growth phase.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research The development of several organs and appendages is impaired in mice lacking Sp6
Mice without the Sp6 gene have problems developing several body parts, including hair, teeth, limbs, and lungs.
research HOMEOBOX PROTEIN 24 mediates the conversion of indole‐3‐butyric acid to indole‐3‐acetic acid to promote root hair elongation
HB24 helps convert IBA to IAA, promoting root hair growth.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Synthesis of porcine pCLCA2 protein during late differentiation of keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle inner root sheath
pCLCA2 protein may help maintain skin structure and function.
research Expression of an Olfactomedin-Related Gene in Rat Hair Follicular Papilla Cells
FP-1 is a key protein in rat hair growth, active only during the growth phase.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Keratin function and regulation in tissue homeostasis and pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
research Soy Protein Containing Isoflavones Improves Facial Signs of Photoaging and Skin Hydration in Postmenopausal Women: Results of a Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial
Soy protein with isoflavones reduces wrinkles and improves skin hydration in postmenopausal women.
research Ancient lineages of the keratin-associated protein (KRTAP) genes and their co-option in the evolution of the hair follicle
Some hair protein genes evolved early and were adapted for use in hair follicles.
research 085 Autoantigen screening in C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata revealed high antigenicity of melanocyte-associated antigen epitopes
Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.
research GPX4 mRNA levels in the PMNs are negatively correlated with autoantibody production, disease activity and lupus alopecia in SLE
Lower GPX4 mRNA levels are linked to higher disease activity and symptoms in lupus patients.
research LB1077 Cutaneous responses to systemic iron: A potential role for epidermal turnover in mammalian iron excretion
Skin may help in getting rid of excess iron through the process of skin cell renewal.
research LB1081 Three-dimensional imaging of tight junction-network across multiple layers of human epidermis by array tomography using backscattered electron-mode scanning electron microscopy
The study found that tight junctions reach the top layer of the skin's stratum granulosum, not just the second top layer as previously thought.
research 616 Endoplasmic reticulum stress upregulates NKG2D ligands in the hair follicle
Stress in hair follicle cells increases certain immune-related proteins, which might contribute to hair loss conditions.
