research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis
Stem cells help heal wounds by rapidly dividing and migrating to the wound edge.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 update on objectives, design and main results
The Rotterdam Study updated findings on elderly health, focusing on heart disease, genetics, lifestyle effects, and disease understanding.
research Calreticulin: non‐endoplasmic reticulum functions in physiology and disease
Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research Admixture in Latin America: Geographic Structure, Phenotypic Diversity and Self-Perception of Ancestry Based on 7,342 Individuals
The study found that in Latin America, ancestry varies by location, influences physical traits, and affects how people perceive their own heritage.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Pioneer factors govern super-enhancer dynamics in stem cell plasticity and lineage choice
Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
research Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast heterogeneity and myeloid-derived adipocyte progenitors in murine skin wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Skin wound healing in humans and mice: Challenges in translational research
The document concludes that mouse models are helpful but have limitations for skin wound healing research, and suggests using larger animals and genetically modified mice for better human application.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Functional lacrimal gland regeneration by transplantation of a bioengineered organ germ
Bioengineered lacrimal glands can restore tear production and protect eyes.
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 SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Noggin is required for induction of the hair follicle growth phase in postnatal skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency and its potential relationship to hair loss
Iron deficiency may be related to hair loss, but there's not enough evidence to recommend iron screening or supplements for all hair loss patients.
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 Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
