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 DERMATOLOGIC INVESTIGATION OF ALOPECIA IN RHESUS MACAQUES (MACACA MULATTA)
Most hair loss in captive rhesus macaques is likely due to environmental and behavioral factors.
research 1379 Cell of origin contributes to the melanoma diversity
Different types of stem cells in the skin contribute to the variety of melanoma forms.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor plays a transient role in mouse skin development
The mineralocorticoid receptor temporarily affects mouse skin development, but the glucocorticoid receptor has a more lasting impact.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Let-7b promotes alpaca hair growth via transcriptional repression of TGFβR I
Let-7b helps alpaca hair grow by reducing TGFβR I protein.
research Selective Modulation of Hedgehog/GLI Target Gene Expression by Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Human Keratinocytes
EGF signaling affects gene expression in skin cells, influencing hair growth and potentially cancer.
research An LRH-RSL4 feedback regulatory loop controls the determinate growth of root hairs in Arabidopsis
A feedback loop between LRH and RSL4 controls root hair growth in Arabidopsis.
research An Assessment of the Safety, Efficacy, and Tolerability of a Novel Scalp Treatment Regimen Combining a Hydroxy Acid-Based Scrub and Copper Tripeptide Serum in the Management of Seborrheic Dermatitis in Adults

research 039 Expansion of regulatory T Cells restrains pathogenic CD8 T Cells in a murine model of alopecia areata
Expanding regulatory T cells may help treat alopecia areata by reducing harmful immune cells.
research The Gut-Scalp Axis: A Systematic Review of Dietary Interventions on Microbiome Dysbiosis in Scalp Disorders
Dietary interventions improved hair density and reduced dandruff by balancing scalp microbiota and reducing inflammation.
research Immune modulation of hair follicle regeneration
Immune cells help regulate hair growth, and better understanding this can improve hair loss treatments.
research Analysis of skin mycobiota associated with alopecia in captive cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) based on Oxford Nanopore Technologies
Certain fungi may contribute to hair loss in cynomolgus macaques.
research Orchestrated Role of microRNAs in Skin Development and Regeneration
MicroRNAs are crucial for skin development, regeneration, and disease treatment.
research Single-cell sequencing combined with spatial transcriptomics reveals the characteristics of follicle-targeted inflammation patterns in primary cicatricial alopecia
Specific immune cells and pathways contribute to hair follicle inflammation and hair loss, suggesting potential treatments for lichen planopilaris.
research Study of gene expression alteration in male androgenetic alopecia: evidence of predominant molecular signalling pathways
Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.
research Reviewer #3 (Public Review): Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Sensory neuron changes and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
research The effects of sonic, desert and Indian hedgehog signalling in skin
Shh and Dhh affect skin development and can cause tumors, while Ihh does not.

An adult woman with scalp infection recovered after antifungal treatment, with no return of symptoms.
research Signal Peptide-CUB-EGF-like Domain-Containing Protein 3 (SCUBE3): From Molecule to Therapy
SCUBE3 is a potential target for cancer and alopecia treatment but is challenging to target due to its varied roles.
research Spatiotemporal Switches in Progenitor Cell Fate Govern Upper Hair Follicle Growth and Maintenance
Progenitor cells randomly decide their roles to maintain hair follicle growth.
