research Age-associated inflammation inhibits epidermal stem cell function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
research CD34 Expression by Hair Follicle Stem Cells Is Required for Skin Tumor Development in Mice
CD34 is crucial for skin tumor development in mice.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Exosomes for repair, regeneration and rejuvenation
Exosomes could potentially enhance tissue repair and regeneration with lower rejection risk and easier production than live cell therapies.
research Hyaluronate Fragments Reverse Skin Atrophy by a CD44-Dependent Mechanism
Hyaluronate fragments can help reverse skin thinning by working with the CD44 receptor.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Endocannabinoids limit excessive mast cell maturation and activation in human skin
Endocannabinoids help control mast cell activity in human skin.
research Nanoparticles for Topical Application in the Treatment of Skin Dysfunctions—An Overview of Dermo-Cosmetic and Dermatological Products
Nanoparticles improve skin treatment but need more research on safety and effectiveness.
research Cytochrome P450: A Target for Drug Development for Skin Diseases
Modulating Cytochrome P450 activity could help develop new skin disease treatments.
research Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation: a common but troubling condition
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized treatment.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Phospholipase C 1 is required for skin stem cell lineage commitment
Phospholipase Cδ1 is crucial for normal skin and hair development.
research In Human Skin, UVB Initiates Early Induction of IL-10 Over IL-12 Preferentially in the Expanding Dermal Monocytic/Macrophagic Population
UVB exposure in human skin causes macrophages to produce more IL-10 and less IL-12, leading to immunosuppression.
research Generation of folliculogenic human epithelial stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived stem cells ameliorate ultraviolet B-induced skin photoaging by attenuating reactive oxygen species production and inflammation
Stem cell vesicles can reduce skin aging from UVB by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress.
research Pityrosporum species as a cause of allergy and infection
The yeast Pityrosporum ovale can cause skin allergies and infections, and antifungal treatments like ketoconazole are effective against it.
research Corneodesmosin gene ablation induces lethal skin-barrier disruption and hair-follicle degeneration related to desmosome dysfunction
Deleting the CDSN gene causes severe skin and hair problems, leading to death.
research The hair growth promoting effect of extract and its molecular regulation
Asiasari radix extract promotes hair growth and increases protein synthesis and cell proliferation.
research N-terminal functional domain of Gasdermin A3 regulates mitochondrial homeostasis via mitochondrial targeting
Mutations in Gasdermin A3 cause skin inflammation and hair loss by disrupting mitochondria.
research Mushroom Cosmetics: The Present and Future
Mushrooms have beneficial properties for skin and hair care products and have great potential for future cosmetic use.
research Electrospun Nanofibers for Improved Angiogenesis: Promises for Tissue Engineering Applications
Electrospun nanofibers show promise for enhancing blood vessel growth in tissue engineering but need further research to improve their effectiveness.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle
Blue light promotes hair growth by interacting with specific receptors in hair follicles.
research In vitro and in vivo study of dye diffusion into the human skin and hair follicles
Dyes can penetrate human skin and hair follicles up to 1.2 mm deep and the sebaceous gland can store dye; Indocyanine Green lotion was made for safe dyeing and monitoring.
research Clonal Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hydrogels Reveals Intrinsic Differences between Sox2-Positive and -Negative Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells have unique characteristics and contribute more to skin and hair follicle formation than Sox2-negative cells.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Stem cell quiescence acts as a tumour suppressor in squamous tumours
Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.
research Hair organ regeneration via the bioengineered hair follicular unit transplantation
