research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
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 Markers to Evaluate the Quality and Self-Renewing Potential of Engineered Human Skin Substitutes In Vitro and after Transplantation
Cytokeratin 19 and cytokeratin 15 are key markers for monitoring the quality and self-renewing potential of engineered skin.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Ectopic Expression of the nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Epidermal Differentiation Complex: A Review on Its Epigenetic Regulation and Potential Drug Targets.
Understanding how EDC genes are regulated can help develop better drugs for skin diseases.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research In vitro skin models to study epithelial regeneration from the hair follicle
PSU are better than THF at regenerating skin layers in lab models.
research Epidermis reconstructed from the outer root sheath of human hair follicle. Effect of retinoic acid
Human hair follicles can be used to create skin-like tissue for wound healing and drug testing.
research P63 expression pattern during rat epidermis morphogenesis and the role of p63 as a marker for epidermal stem cells
P63 is a marker for epidermal stem cells in rats.
research β-Catenin–Dependent Wnt Signaling: A Pathway in Acute Cutaneous Wounding [RETRACTED]
The study found that a specific signaling pathway helps skin wounds heal faster but may lead to larger scars.
research Synthesis of porcine pCLCA2 protein during late differentiation of keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle inner root sheath
pCLCA2 protein may help maintain skin structure and function.
research Desmosomes in Developing Human Epidermis
Desmosomes are crucial for human skin development, increasing in density as the skin matures.
research Autophagy-Mediated Cellular Remodeling during Terminal Differentiation of Keratinocytes in the Epidermis and Skin Appendages
Autophagy is essential for proper skin cell development and function.
research α-parvin is required for epidermal morphogenesis, hair follicle development and basal keratinocyte polarity
α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
research Lgr6+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
UV exposure reduces Lgr6+ stem cells in mouse skin and they don't significantly contribute to skin cancer development.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
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 Hair follicle epithelial stem cells contribute to interfollicular epidermis during homeostasis
Hair follicle stem cells help maintain skin health by moving to and supporting the skin's surface layers.
research The effect of experimental hypothyroidism on the skin of adult male albino rats and the therapeutic role of topical triiodothyronine
Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research Keratin 15 promotes a progenitor cell state in basal keratinocytes of skin epidermis
Keratin 15 helps maintain skin cell growth and repair.
