Researchers created a 3D hydrogel that mimics human hair follicles, which may help with hair loss treatments.
research Disrupted Cholesterol Biosynthesis and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Impairment in the Onset of Alopecia
Disrupted cholesterol production impairs hair follicle stem cells, leading to hair loss.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Skin transcriptome reveals the Periodic changes in genes underlying hair follicle cycling in Cashmere goats
Cashmere goats have a hair growth cycle with specific genes regulating growth, regression, and resting periods.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Pre-aggregation of scalp progenitor dermal and epidermal stem cells activates the WNT pathway and promotes hair follicle formation in in vitro and in vivo systems
Grouping certain skin cells together activates a growth pathway that helps create new hair follicles.
