research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Expression of the Orphan Protein Plet-1 during Trichilemmal Differentiation of Anagen Hair Follicles
Plet-1 protein helps hair follicle cells move and stick to tissues.
research The Epidermal Vitamin D System and Innate Immunity: Some More Light Shed on This Unique Photoendocrine System?
Vitamin D made by the skin plays a role in immune defense and skin health, and more research is needed to understand its full effects.
research Retinoids for Chemoprophylaxis of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Retinoids can prevent skin cancer in high-risk people but have side effects and require more research on dosing and effectiveness.
research Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Squamous epithelial proliferation induced by walleye dermal sarcoma retrovirus cyclin in transgenic mice
The Walleye dermal sarcoma virus cyclin causes excessive skin cell growth in mice.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research Mice lacking desmocollin 1 show epidermal fragility accompanied by barrier defects and abnormal differentiation
Desmocollin 1 is essential for strong skin and proper skin function.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research Lack of the Vitamin D Receptor is Associated with Reduced Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Growth
Vitamin D Receptor is crucial for normal skin and hair growth.
research Wnt signaling induces epithelial differentiation during cutaneous wound healing
Wnt signaling can improve skin healing by promoting epithelial growth.
research Epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates adipocyte differentiation via secretion of adipogenic factors
Epidermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls fat cell formation and hair growth.
research Extraskeletal actions of vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Dermal papilla-induced hair differentiation of adult epithelial stem cells from human skin
Dermal papilla cells help skin stem cells grow into hair.
research Protein Kinase Cε, which Sensitizes Skin to Sun's UV Radiation–Induced Cutaneous Damage and Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Associates with Stat3
Protein Kinase Cε increases skin sensitivity to UV damage and skin cancer risk.
research The Nude Mutant Gene Foxn1 Is a HOXC13 Regulatory Target during Hair Follicle and Nail Differentiation
HOXC13 is essential for hair and nail development by regulating Foxn1.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is a target for chemoprevention of basal and squamous cell carcinomas in Ptch1+/– mice
Inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase may help prevent certain skin cancers.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is a target for chemoprevention of basal and squamous cell carcinomas in Ptch1+/– mice
Targeting ornithine decarboxylase can help prevent skin cancer.
research Pax9 is required for filiform papilla development and suppresses skin-specific differentiation of the mammalian tongue epithelium
Pax9 is crucial for proper tongue surface development and preventing skin-like changes.
research 25 Years of Epidermal Stem Cell Research
Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
research Epidermal abnormalities and increased malignancy of skin tumors in human epidermal keratin 8‐expressing transgenic mice
Mice with human skin protein K8 had more skin problems and cancer.
