research Age-related downregulation of dihydrotestosterone-inactivating enzymes in human scalp sebaceous glands
As people age, certain enzymes in scalp glands decrease, affecting hair health.
research Phenotypic modulation of human hair matrix cells (trichocytes) by environmental influence in vitro and in vivo.
Human hair cells can change based on their environment, especially interactions with certain skin cells.
research Histology of moose (Alces alces andersoni) interdigital glands and associated green hairs
Moose have unique interdigital glands with green hairs and larger glands during mating season.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.
research Characterization of sciellin, a precursor to the cornified envelope of human keratinocytes
Sciellin is a protein that helps form protective layers in skin, hair, and nails.
research In This Issue
Hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair development, cadherins affect cell adhesion, neutrophils play a role in skin lesions, and BP230 autoantibodies impact skin stability.
research Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research 919 Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the skin of adult transgenic mice leads to sebaceous gland hyperplasia and thinning of hair shafts
Increasing COX-2 in mouse skin causes bigger sebaceous glands and thinner hair, but stopping COX-2 can reverse hair thinning.
research Integrated-omics profiling unveils the disparities of host defense to ECM scaffolds during wound healing in aged individuals
Aged individuals heal wounds less effectively due to specific immune cell issues.
research Senescence-induced reparative fibroblasts enable scarless wound healing in aged murine skin.
Older mice heal wounds without scars due to special fibroblasts.
research 252 Follicle dermal papilla cells undergo chromatin remodelling processes in vivo and in vitro
Hair follicle cells change their DNA packaging during growth cycles and when grown in the lab.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Live imaging of stem cell and progeny behaviour in physiological hair-follicle regeneration.
Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
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 Macrophages Contribute to the Cyclic Activation of Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Macrophages help activate hair follicle stem cells, affecting hair growth and skin repair.
research Label Retention Identifies a Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Like Population in the Postnatal Thymus
The postnatal thymus has cells like mesenchymal stem cells that can become different cell types and help maintain thymus structure.
research Keratinisation status and cytokeratins of the human Meibomian gland epithelium
Hyper-keratinisation in Meibomian glands contributes to gland dysfunction.
research Localization of Skin Stem Cells of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
Stem cells in cashmere goats are found in hair follicles and have a slow growth rate.
research Tfap2b specifies an embryonic melanocyte stem cell that retains adult multi-fate potential
The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research A 30-Year-Old Man with Recurrent Scaling and Itching of the Scalp
A man has a common skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis, treated with special shampoos and sometimes medication.
research Changing Patterns of Localization of Putative Stem Cells in Developing Human Hair Follicles
Stem cells in developing hair follicles move to specific areas as they mature.
research Effects of cepharanthine and minoxidil on proliferation, differentiation and keratinization of cultured cells from the murine hair apparatus
Cepharanthine and minoxidil promote cell growth and delay hair cell maturation.
research Investigating the mechanisms underlying age-related dysfunctions in skin and hair follicle regeneration
Senescence and genomic instability in fibroblasts contribute to hair loss and impaired skin regeneration with age.
research Clinical and Histologic Features of 64 Cases of Steatocystoma Multiplex
Steatocystoma multiplex is a skin condition starting around age 26, linked to hair follicles, and related to eruptive vellus hair cysts.
research The molecular anatomy of cashmere goat hair follicle during cytodifferentiation stage
Understanding hair follicle development can help improve cashmere quality.
research Identification of a Cyclosporine-Specific P450 Hydroxylase Gene through Targeted Cytochrome P450 Complement (CYPome) Disruption in Sebekia benihana
A gene in Sebekia benihana, CYP-sb21, is needed for a specific reaction on the drug Cyclosporine A, which could be important for hair growth without affecting the immune system.
research Dynamic evaluation of pathological changes in a mouse acne model by optical imaging technology
New imaging techniques can assess and track changes in mouse acne without harm, aiding treatment choices.
