research Isolation of epithelial stem cells from dermis by a three-dimensional culture system
Researchers isolated a new type of stem cell from mouse skin that can renew itself and turn into multiple cell types.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research Hairless controls hair fate decision via Wnt/β–catenin signaling
The Hairless gene is crucial for hair cell development, affecting whether skin cells become hair or skin and oil gland cells.
research Regeneration of Mouse Skin Melanocyte Stem Cells In Vivo and In Vitro
The research found ways to activate melanocyte stem cells for potential treatment of skin depigmentation conditions.
research SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
research Scarring, stem cells, scaffolds and skin repair
Current skin repair methods for severe burns are inadequate, but stem cells and new materials show promise for better healing.
research Characterization of factors that determine lentiviral vector tropism in skin tissue using an ex vivo model
Lentiviral vector effectiveness in skin is influenced by external factors, not receptor availability.
research NG2 Proteoglycan Expression in Mouse Skin: Altered Postnatal Skin Development in the NG2 Null Mouse
NG2 is crucial for normal skin and hair development in mice.
research BMP-FGF Signaling Axis Mediates Wnt-Induced Epidermal Stratification in Developing Mammalian Skin
Wnt signaling is essential for forming the skin's spinous layer through a BMP-FGF pathway.
research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis
Stem cells help heal wounds by rapidly dividing and migrating to the wound edge.
research Lineage potential, plasticity and environmental reprogramming of epithelial stem/progenitor cells
Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Aberrant Wnt signalling induces comedo-like changes in the upper hair follicle
Abnormal Wnt signaling in hair follicle stem cells can lead to acne-like cysts.
research Requirement of zinc transporter ZIP10 for epidermal development: Implication of the ZIP10–p63 axis in epithelial homeostasis
ZIP10 is crucial for skin development and maintaining healthy skin.
research Thymic Mesenchymal Cells Have a Distinct Transcriptomic Profile
Thymic mesenchymal cells have unique gene expression that supports their specific functions in the thymus.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Thy1 marks a distinct population of slow-cycling stem cells in the mouse epidermis
A specific group of slow-growing stem cells marked by Thy1 is crucial for skin maintenance and healing in mice.
research Stem Cells in Tissue Engineering
Different stem cells have benefits and challenges for tissue repair, and more research is needed to find the best types for each use.
research Fully functional hair follicle organ regeneration using organ-inductive potential stem cells with an accessory mesenchymal cell population in an in vitro culture system
Scientists successfully regenerated functional hair follicles using specific stem cells and mesenchymal cells.
research 570 Targeting phosphodiesterase 8A (PDE8A) to boost adipogenesis and hair regeneration
Inhibiting PDE8A may help treat hair loss by boosting fat cell growth and hair regeneration.
research 1405 Cellular and molecular characterization of sebaceous gland self-renewal and regeneration following complete genetic ablation
The research found that a protein called PPARg is important for the formation and healing of sebaceous glands, which can regenerate independently from hair follicles.
research 724 MPZL3 functions as a negative regulator of sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation
MPZL3 protein helps keep sebaceous gland size and cell growth in check.
research Dermal niche signaling and epidermal stem cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research The Simplest Protocol for Rapid and Long-Term Culture of Primary Epidermal Keratinocytes from Human and Mouse
A new method helps grow skin cells from humans and mice more easily and quickly.
research Abstract 3889: Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 levels affect the number of hair follicle stem cells in mouse epidermis
CDK4 levels affect the number of hair follicle stem cells in mice.
research 1410 Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals POUF51 and HES3 as regulators of the stem cell population in psoriasis
POUF51 and HES3 are key in controlling stem cell numbers in psoriasis.
