A rare skin condition with cysts was found on a 5-year-old boy's scalp.
research Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus: a report of two cases and review of the literature
Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus is a very rare skin disorder possibly caused by a GJB2 gene mutation.
research [Hair follicle regeneration after implantation of hair follicle cells into subcutis of nude mice].
Hair follicle-like structures can form when specific hair cells are mixed and implanted in mice.
research Deciphering a Message from the Nucleus: How Transcription Factors and Spatial Chromatin Interactions Orchestrate Epidermal Differentiation
Key skin cell regulators and gene organization changes are crucial for skin cell development and could help treat skin disorders.
research The skin and hair of the southern elephant seal, (Mirounga Leonina (L.) II. pre-natal and early post-natal development and moulting
Southern elephant seals develop hair follicles and skin layers before birth, with moulting starting a week after birth and finishing in three weeks.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research 1426 Deletion of hoxc13 in frogs reveals key steps in the molecular evolution of cornified skin appendages
Deleting the Hoxc13 gene in frogs shows its crucial role in developing skin structures similar to hair.
research Recurrent Pilo-Nidal Sinus: Secret Of Recurrence
Thorough cleaning and hair removal are essential to effectively treat and prevent recurrent pilonidal sinus.
research Cellular basis of accelerated whole-tooth regeneration
Cichlid fish regenerate teeth quickly due to specific cell interactions and gene expressions.
research RSPO1-mutated keratinocytes from palmoplantar keratoderma display impaired differentiation, alteration of cell–cell adhesion, EMT-like phenotype and invasiveness properties: implications for squamous cell carcinoma susceptibility in patients with 46XX disorder of sexual development
RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
research Rare case of recurrent hair in the floor of the mouth
Hair grew in a man's mouth due to a rare condition called heterotopia.
research Long-Term Survival of Type XVII Collagen Revertant Cells in an Animal Model of Revertant Cell Therapy
Revertant cell therapy shows promise for treating type XVII collagen deficiency, but better cell selection methods are needed.

Skin cells can naturally limit the growth of cancerous changes by balancing cell renewal and differentiation.
research Cell Population Dynamics in Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis Model
Non-immune dermal cells dominate, epidermal cells increase after day 9, and certain immune cells persist beyond inflammation in wound-induced hair follicle regeneration.
research Transient activation of β-catenin signalling in adult mouse epidermis is sufficient to induce new hair follicles but continuous activation is required to maintain hair follicle tumours
Temporary activation of β-catenin can create new hair follicles, but ongoing activation is needed to keep hair follicle tumors.
