research 605 3D-SeboSkin model application in Hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa
The 3D-SeboSkin model effectively simulates Hidradenitis suppurativa and is useful for future research.
research Syphilitic alopecia
Syphilitic alopecia is a rare hair loss condition in secondary syphilis that looks similar to another condition but can be diagnosed with specific tests and responds to antibiotics.
research How Does pH Fit in with Oscillating Polar Growth?
pH, calcium, and reactive oxygen species regulate plant cell growth, with key roles for NADPH oxidases and plasma membrane H+-ATPases.
research Micro-mechanical approaches to characterize tip growth: Insights into root hair elasto-viscoplastic properties
Root hair growth mechanics depend on turgor pressure and cell wall properties.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Emerging interactions between skin stem cells and their niches
Skin stem cells interacting with their environment is crucial for maintaining and regenerating skin and hair, and understanding this can help develop new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
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 Activation of β-catenin signaling programs embryonic epidermis to hair follicle fate
Activating β-catenin can turn skin cells into hair follicles.
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 The malignant capacity of skin tumours induced by expression of a mutant H-ras transgene depends on the cell type targeted
The risk of skin tumors becoming malignant depends on the specific skin cell type affected.
research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium into epidermis occurs by means of a multistep process triggered by dermal developmental signals
Corneal cells can transform into skin and hair cells through specific signals.
research Directed Expression of Keratin 16 to the Progenitor Basal Cells of Transgenic Mouse Skin Delays Skin Maturation
Keratin 16 delays skin maturation and affects skin and hair development in mice.
research Ectopic Expression of the nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Design of a biofluid-absorbing bioactive sandwich-structured Zn–Si bioceramic composite wound dressing for hair follicle regeneration and skin burn wound healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Functional identification of the phosphorylation sites of Arabidopsis PIN-FORMED3 for its subcellular localization and biological role
Phosphorylation of certain parts of the PIN3 protein is crucial for its role in plant root growth and response to gravity.
research Single-Cell RNA Profiling of Human Skin Reveals Age-Related Loss of Dermal Sheath Cells and Their Contribution to a Juvenile Phenotype
Aging reduces dermal sheath cells, affecting youthful skin appearance.
research Necl2 regulates epidermal adhesion and wound repair
Necl2 affects skin cell behavior and slows wound healing.
research An Ovol2‐Zeb1 transcriptional circuit regulates epithelial directional migration and proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
research Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research CD10 and CD34 in fetal and adult human hair follicles: dynamic changes in their immunohistochemical expression during embryogenesis and hair cycling
CD10 and CD34 levels change during hair development and different hair growth stages, which could be important for hair regeneration treatments.
research Localization of varicella-zoster virus nucleic acids and proteins in human skin
The research found that chickenpox virus spreads in skin through blood then to skin cells, while shingles virus moves from nerves to hair follicle areas before infecting skin cells.
research BMP2-mediated PTEN enhancement promotes differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by inducing autophagy
BMP2 helps hair follicle stem cells become specialized by increasing PTEN, which causes autophagy.
research Sebaceous Gland, Hair Shaft, and Epidermal Barrier Abnormalities in Keratosis Pilaris with and without Filaggrin Deficiency
Keratosis pilaris is often linked to genetic mutations and causes skin and hair abnormalities, regardless of those mutations.
research Expression of MsPG3‐GFP fusions in Medicago truncatula‘hairy roots’ reveals preferential tip localization of the protein in root hairs
MsPG3 protein gathers at root hair tips, aiding growth.
research Severe Abnormalities in the Oral Mucosa Induced by Suprabasal Expression of Epidermal Keratin K10 in Transgenic Mice
Abnormal keratin expression in mice causes severe oral issues, affecting feeding.
research Hair follicle stem cell progeny heal blisters while pausing skin development
When skin blisters, healing the wound is more important than growing hair, and certain stem cells mainly fix the blisters without helping hair growth.
research Embryonic-like regenerative phenomenon: wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis
New hair can grow from large wounds in mice, but less so as they age, involving reprogramming of skin cells and specific molecular pathways.
