research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Wnt signaling induces epithelial differentiation during cutaneous wound healing
Wnt signaling can improve skin healing by promoting epithelial growth.
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 Vitamin D and the skin: Focus on a complex relationship: A review
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Dermal papilla-induced hair differentiation of adult epithelial stem cells from human skin
Dermal papilla cells help skin stem cells grow into hair.
research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Updated Treatment for Acne: Targeted Therapy Based on Pathogenesis
Future acne treatments should aggressively target inflammation to prevent scarring.
research Topographical and developmental studies on target sites of 1,25 (OH2) vitamin D3 in skin
Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland De Novo Regeneration With Cultured Epidermal Stem Cells and Skin-Derived Precursors
Scientists discovered that certain stem cells from mice and humans can be used to grow new hair follicles and skin glands when treated with a special mixture.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Glutamate transporter Slc1a3 mediates inter‐niche stem cell activation during skin growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research Hair follicle stem cells:In vitroandin vivoneural differentiation
Hair follicle stem cells can become different cell types and may help treat neurodegenerative disorders.
research The Parathyroid Hormone Second Receptor PTH2R and its Ligand Tuberoinfundibular Peptide of 39 Residues TIP39 Regulate Intracellular Calcium and Influence Keratinocyte Differentiation
TIP39 and PTH2R help control calcium levels and skin cell development.
research Skin and glucocorticoids: effects of local skin glucocorticoid impairment on skin homeostasis
Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research Isolation of Multipotent Nestin-Expressing Stem Cells Derived from the Epidermis of Elderly Humans and TAT-VHL Peptide-Mediated Neuronal Differentiation of These Cells
Stem cells from elderly skin can become neurons, offering potential for brain therapy.
research Ability of Transplanted Cultured Epithelium to Respond to Dermal Papillae
Cultured epithelium can form hair follicles when combined with dermal papillae.
research Expansion of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Sticking to Isolated Sebaceous Glands to Generate in Vivo Epidermal Structures
Sebaceous glands can help harvest hair follicle stem cells to regenerate skin and hair.
research Lectinhistochemistry of Dorsal Skin of Wistar-derived Hypotrichotic WBN/Ila-Ht Rats.
The skin of both rat strains showed similar lectin binding patterns.
research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Controversial Concepts
The author now believes tricholemmal carcinoma is a rare type of infundibular squamous cell carcinoma and more research is needed on these tumors.
research Advances in Hair Diseases
The review highlights the importance of stem cells in hair health and suggests new treatment strategies for hair loss conditions.
research Highly Efficient Neural Differentiation of CD34-Positive Hair-Follicle-Associated Pluripotent Stem Cells Induced by Retinoic Acid and Serum-Free Medium
Hair follicle stem cells can become nerve cells using specific treatments.
research Involucrin, but not filaggrin and Kdap mRNA, expression is downregulated in 3-D cultures of intact rat hair bulbs after calcium stimulation
