BMP and Wnt signaling balance controls hair follicle stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Elucidation of the Potential Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of Botryococcus terribilis, Its Novel Compound Methylated-Meijicoccene, and C32 Botryococcene on Cultured Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Using DNA Microarray Gene Expression Analysis
Botryococcus terribilis and its compounds may promote hair growth and improve hair health.
research Differential gene expression profiles in foetal skin of Rex rabbits with different wool density
High wool density in Rex rabbits is linked to specific gene activity affecting hair follicle development.
research Laminin 332 Is Indispensable for Homeostatic Epidermal Differentiation Programs
Laminin 332 is essential for normal skin cell behavior and structure.
research The germinative epithelium of sheep vibrissae and wool follicles has extensive proliferative potential but is dependent on the dermal papilla
Sheep hair follicle cells can grow a lot but need the dermal papilla to do so.
research Igf1r signalling acts on the anagen‐to‐catagen transition in the hair cycle
Igf1r helps regulate hair growth cycles.
research Characterization of the cysteine-rich calcium-binding S100A3 protein from human hair cuticles
Scientists found out how a specific protein in human hair cuticles behaves and is structured.
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 A Novel Type II Cytokeratin, mK6irs, is Expressed in the Huxley and Henle Layers of the Mouse Inner Root Sheath
A new protein, mK6irs, is found in specific hair layers and may help understand hair growth and diseases.
research Abnormal differentiation of epidermis in transgenic mice constitutively expressing cyclooxygenase-2 in skin
Overexpression of COX-2 in mice skin causes abnormal skin and hair development.
research LPA-producing enzyme PA-PLA1α regulates hair follicle development by modulating EGFR signalling
The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.
research Hair follicle-inspired therapies for wound healing and scar remodelling
Hair follicles can improve wound healing and reduce scarring.
research New Activators and Inhibitors in the Hair Cycle Clock: Targeting Stem Cells’ State of Competence
The conclusion is that Fgf18 and Tgf-ß signaling could be targeted for hair loss treatments.
research Cutaneous drug reactions
Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role during Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
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 The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
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.
research Targeted expression of SV40 T antigen in the hair follicle of transgenic mice produces an aberrant hair phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Effects of 1?,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 and calcipotriol on organotypic cultures of outer root sheath cells: a potential model to evaluate antipsoriatic drugs
Vitamin D compounds may help treat psoriasis by promoting skin cell differentiation.
research Estrogen modulates mesenchymal-epidermal interactions in the adult nipple
Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research 138 Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes of a reconstructed human epidermal model from adult hair follicles
The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.
research 441 RPGRIP1L facilitates desmosomal adhesion through suppressing PKCβII-mediated desmoglein endocytosis: Implication in pemphigus
RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research CCN2 modulates hair follicle cycling in mice
The protein CCN2 controls hair growth by affecting hair follicle formation and stem cell activity in mice.
