270-300 / 1000+ results research Epithelial-Mesenchymal Micro-niches Govern Stem Cell Lineage Choices
Different small areas within hair follicles send specific signals that control what type of cells stem cells become.
research Types I and II Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.
research Patched1 Functions as a Gatekeeper by Promoting Cell Cycle Progression
Patched1 helps prevent tumors by controlling cell growth.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Wounding induces dedifferentiation of epidermal Gata6+ cells and acquisition of stem cell properties
Wounded skin cells can revert to stem cells and help heal.
research Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in cutaneous wound healing: Where we are and where we are heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Concise Review: Wnt Signaling Pathways in Skin Development and Epidermal Stem Cells
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin development and hair growth.
research Delineation of Matriptase Protein Expression by Enzymatic Gene Trapping Suggests Diverging Roles in Barrier Function, Hair Formation, and Squamous Cell Carcinogenesis
Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
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 Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Localisation of members of the notch system and the differentiation of vibrissa hair follicles: Receptors, ligands, and fringe modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research Physiological Regeneration of Skin Appendages and Implications for Regenerative Medicine
The document concludes that understanding hair and feather regeneration can help develop new regenerative medicine strategies.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research Spontaneous tumour regression in keratoacanthomas is driven by Wnt/retinoic acid signalling cross-talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research Control by a hair’s breadth: the role of microRNAs in the skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Epidermal keratinocytes initiate wound healing and pro-inflammatory immune responses following percutaneous schistosome infection
Epidermal keratinocytes start wound healing and inflammation after schistosome infection.
research Protein Kinase C δ Overexpressing Transgenic Mice Are Resistant to Chemically but not to UV Radiation–Induced Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas: A Possible Link to Specific Cytokines and Cyclooxygenase-2
Mice with extra PKCδ resist chemical-induced skin cancer but not UV-induced.
research A systematic summary of survival and death signalling during the life of hair follicle stem cells
The conclusion is that understanding how hair follicle stem cells live or die is important for maintaining healthy tissue and repairing injuries, and could help treat hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome.
