research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
research APCDD1 is a novel Wnt inhibitor mutated in hereditary hypotrichosis simplex
A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research A genome-wide association scan in admixed Latin Americans identifies loci influencing facial and scalp hair features
Genetic factors influence hair traits like shape, color, and greying in Latin Americans.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research The ZIP7 Gene (Slc39a7) Encodes a Zinc Transporter Involved in Zinc Homeostasis of the Golgi Apparatus
The ZIP7 gene helps control zinc levels in cells by moving zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream ORF in the human hairless transcript cause Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research Epigenetic control of adult stem cell function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
research Epithelial Wnt Ligand Secretion Is Required for Adult Hair Follicle Growth and Regeneration
Wnt ligands are crucial for hair growth and repair.
research Functional salivary gland regeneration by transplantation of a bioengineered organ germ
Scientists made working salivary glands in mice using bioengineered cells, which could help treat dry mouth.
research The transcriptional repressor CDP (Cutl1) is essential for epithelial cell differentiation of the lung and the hair follicle
CDP is crucial for lung and hair follicle cell development.
research Cartilage to bone transformation during fracture healing is coordinated by the invading vasculature and induction of the core pluripotency genes
Blood vessels and specific genes help turn cartilage into bone when bones heal.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management
Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
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 Molecular biology of hair morphogenesis: Development and cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair
Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research An Update of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis
Hair follicle patterns form through a mix of self-organization and signaling interactions.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
