research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Development, Homeostasis, and Disease
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and health, and its disruption can cause skin diseases.
research A family business: stem cell progeny join the niche to regulate homeostasis
Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Tissue engineering of human hair follicles using a biomimetic developmental approach
Researchers created human hair follicles using a new method that could help treat hair loss.
research The role of hair follicles in the percutaneous absorption of caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Epithelial Wnt Ligand Secretion Is Required for Adult Hair Follicle Growth and Regeneration
Wnt ligands are crucial for hair growth and repair.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research Hairless triggers reactivation of hair growth by promoting Wnt signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research The mesenchymal component of hair follicle neogenesis: background, methods and molecular characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Psoriasis of the Scalp
Coal tar shampoos, salicylic acid, and topical corticosteroids are effective for scalp psoriasis, with Vitamin D3 analogues also showing benefits; severe cases may require stronger medication with more risks.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Keratin disorders: from gene to therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges

research Surface Lipids as Multifunctional Mediators of Skin Responses to Environmental Stimuli
Skin surface lipids are important for skin health and altering them could help prevent aging and treat skin conditions.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Stratum corneum dysfunction in dandruff
Improving skin barrier and using antifungal treatments can help manage dandruff.
research Regulation of hair follicle development by exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells can help grow hair and might treat hair loss.
