90-120 / 1000+ results research The Mixed Lineage Kinase Leucine-Zipper Protein Kinase Exhibits a Differentiation-Associated Localization in Normal Human Skin and Induces Keratinocyte Differentiation upon Overexpression
ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.
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 c-Myc activation in transgenic mouse epidermis results in mobilization of stem cells and differentiation of their progeny
c-Myc activation in mouse skin increases sebaceous gland growth and affects hair follicle development.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
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 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 Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Cyclooxygenases in the skin: pharmacological and toxicological implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
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 The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
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 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 Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Isolation and Characterization of Human Repetin, a Member of the Fused Gene Family of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
research N-terminal functional domain of Gasdermin A3 regulates mitochondrial homeostasis via mitochondrial targeting
Mutations in Gasdermin A3 cause skin inflammation and hair loss by disrupting mitochondria.
research Impaired Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling with Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation in nackt Mice, a Cathepsin L-Deficient Mutation
Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
research MicroRNA/mRNA regulatory networks in the control of skin development and regeneration
MicroRNAs are crucial for controlling skin development and healing by regulating genes.
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
