research Progenitor-derived endothelin controls dermal sheath contraction for hair follicle regression
A specific signal from hair cells controls the tightening of the surrounding muscle, which is necessary for hair shedding.
research Evo Devo of the Vertebrates Integument
The skin systems of jawed vertebrates evolved diverse appendages like hair and scales from a common structure over 420 million years ago.
research A folliculocentric perspective of dandruff pathogenesis: Could a troublesome condition be caused by changes to a natural secretory mechanism?
Dandruff might be caused by changes in how hair follicles naturally release oils and an immune response to this imbalance.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Modelling Human Hair Follicles—Lessons from Animal Models and Beyond
Improving human hair follicle models is crucial for better hair loss treatments.
research Effect of composite biodegradable biomaterials on wound healing in diabetes
Composite biodegradable biomaterials can improve diabetic wound healing but need more development for clinical use.
research A Systematic Review of Keratinocyte Secretions: A Regenerative Perspective
Skin cells release substances important for healing and fighting infection, and understanding these could improve skin disorder treatments.
research Loss of epidermal Evi/Wls results in a phenotype resembling psoriasiform dermatitis
Loss of a specific protein in skin cells causes symptoms similar to psoriasis.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Carcinogenesis of the Human Scalp. An Immunometabolic Centered View
Hair protects the scalp from skin cancer by aiding immune defense.
research Loss of ERBB2 and ERBB3 Receptors Impacts Epidermal Differentiation in Mice
Losing both ERBB2 and ERBB3 receptors in mice causes significant skin problems and inflammation.
research Integrated miRNA-mRNA analysis reveals regulatory pathways underlying the curly fleece trait in Chinese tan sheep
Researchers found genes and microRNAs that control curly fleece in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Extracellular vesicles in age-related diseases: disease pathogenesis, intervention, and biomarker
Extracellular vesicles can both worsen and help treat age-related diseases and are useful for early diagnosis.
research Reprogramming adult dermis to a neonatal state through epidermal activation of β-catenin
Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
research Epidermal Dysplasia and Abnormal Hair Follicles in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Homeobox Gene MSX-2
Overexpressing the MSX-2 gene in mice causes skin and hair growth issues.
research Exploiting Unique Features of Microneedles to Modulate Immunity
Microneedles offer a promising, painless, and efficient way to deliver vaccines and therapies directly to the skin.
research The integrated stress response fine-tunes stem cell fate decisions upon serine deprivation and tissue injury
Serine is vital for hair follicle stem cells to balance hair growth and skin repair.
research Direct Reprograming of Mouse Fibroblasts into Dermal Papilla Cells via Small Molecules
Scientists turned mouse skin cells into hair-inducing cells using chemicals, which could help treat hair loss.
research Self-assembled complete hair follicle organoids by coculture of neonatal mouse epidermal cells and dermal cells in Matrigel
Scientists created complete hair-like structures by growing mouse skin cells together in a special gel.
research Involvement of Follicular Stem Cells in Forming Not Only the Follicle but Also the Epidermis
Hair follicle stem cells can form both hair follicles and skin.
research Tracing immune cells around biomaterials with spatial anchors during large-scale wound regeneration
Immune cells are essential for skin regeneration using biomaterial scaffolds.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited

research Exogenous Alpha-Ketoglutaric Acid Alleviates the Rabbit Dermal Papilla Cell Oxidative Damage Caused by Hydrogen Peroxide Through the ERK/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway
Alpha-ketoglutarate protects rabbit skin cells from oxidative damage by activating a specific cell pathway.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.
research A Subset of TREM2+ Dermal Macrophages Secretes Oncostatin M to Maintain Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Inhibit Hair Growth
Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
research Effects of Periplaneta americana extracts on the growth and proliferation of cutaneous interstitial cells in cutaneous-wound healing
Kangfuxin (KFX) extract speeds up wound healing and improves skin regeneration.
