research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Self-assembling peptide hydrogel scaffolds support stem cell-based hair follicle regeneration
Peptide hydrogel scaffolds help grow new hair follicles using stem cells.
research Rhythmic expression of circadian clock genes in human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells
Human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells have internal daily clocks, and PER1 and PER3 genes may indicate individual circadian rhythms.
research Multiple crosslinked, self-healing, and shape-adaptable hydrogel laden with pain-relieving chitosan@borneol nanoparticles for infected burn wound healing
The hydrogel effectively treats infected burn wounds by reducing pain and preventing infection.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Platelet-derived growth factor signaling modulates adult hair follicle dermal stem cell maintenance and self-renewal
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining and renewing hair follicle stem cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research Proline-rich protein-like PRPL1 controls elongation of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana
A gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtPRPL1, affects root hair length but not cell wall composition.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Lymphoid Enhancer-binding Factor-1 (LEF1) Interacts with the DNA-binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor
LEF1 interacts with Vitamin D Receptor, affecting hair follicle regeneration and this could be linked to hair loss conditions.
research WISP-1 induced by mechanical stress contributes to fibrosis and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum through Hedgehog-Gli1 signaling
Targeting Hedgehog signaling may help treat ligamentum flavum fibrosis.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research CC-type glutaredoxins mediate plant response and signaling under nitrate starvation in Arabidopsis
ROXY proteins help plants respond to nitrate shortage by affecting nutrient sensing and growth.
research Macrophages Promote Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration in a CX3CR1- and TGF-β1–Dependent Manner
Macrophages help hair growth after injury through CX3CR1 and TGF-β1.
research Dietary glucoraphanin prevents the onset of psychosis in the adult offspring after maternal immune activation
Eating glucoraphanin can help prevent psychosis in offspring whose mothers had immune system activation.
research Label Retaining Cells (LRCs) with Myoepithelial Characteristic from the Proximal Acinar Region Define Stem Cells in the Sweat Gland
Sweat gland stem cells help maintain glands, aid wound healing, and can regenerate skin structures.
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 CD98hc (SLC3A2) regulation of skin homeostasis wanes with age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Nobiletin-loaded composite penetration enhancer vesicles restore the normal miRNA expression and the chief defence antioxidant levels in skin cancer

research Graphene oxide and indole-3-acetic acid cotreatment regulates the root growth of Brassica napus L. via multiple phytohormone pathways
Graphene oxide and indole-3-acetic acid together inhibit root growth in Brassica napus L. by affecting multiple plant hormone pathways.
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 Transcriptome and proteome characterization of surface ectoderm cells differentiated from human iPSCs
Blocking TGFβ-RI signaling enhances surface ectoderm differentiation from human stem cells.
