research Regulatory T cells in skin mediate immune privilege of the hair follicle stem cell niche
Regulatory T cells protect hair follicle stem cells by maintaining immune privilege in the skin.
research Tissue resident and follicular Treg cell differentiation is regulated by CRAC channels
CRAC channels are crucial for the development and function of specialized immune cells, preventing severe inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation

research Author response: Arabidopsis formin 2 regulates cell-to-cell trafficking by capping and stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata
Arabidopsis Formin 2 stabilizes actin filaments, affecting cell-to-cell movement and virus susceptibility.
research A stretch-responsive fibroblast program promotes epidermal stem cell self-renewal during skin expansion
The study examines how dermal fibroblasts respond to mechanical stretching and influence epidermal stem cell behavior during skin expansion, using a mouse model with 32 subjects. It was found that stretching induces a fibroblast program characterized by reduced collagen deposition and increased proliferation, promoting epidermal stem cell self-renewal. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed transcriptional changes in fibroblasts, particularly in the upper dermis, with upregulation of genes associated with extracellular matrix remodeling and an embryonic-like regenerative state. The research highlights the dynamic interaction between fibroblasts and keratinocytes, suggesting that fibroblasts play a crucial role in skin expansion by rapidly altering their transcriptional landscape, which has implications for understanding skin regeneration and repair mechanisms.
research γδ T Cells Mediate a Requisite Portion of a Wound Healing Response Triggered by Cutaneous Poxvirus Infection
γδ T cells are essential for wound healing after poxvirus infection.
research Conserved γδ T cell selection by BTNL proteins limits progression of human inflammatory bowel disease

research Wnt Signaling Regulates Symmetry of Division of Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Brain and in Response to Injury
Wnt signaling helps control how brain stem cells divide and is important for brain repair after injury.
research Scarring hair follicle destruction is driven by the collapse of EGFR-protected JAK-STAT1-sensitive stem cell immune privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research 713 Fisetin promotes differentiation, inhibits proliferative and inflammatory responses in cultured human cells and alleviates psoriasiform dermatitis in mice
Fisetin may help treat psoriasis and reduce skin inflammation.
research Evaluation of the serum level of regulation upon activation of normal T-cell expressed and secreted protein in different types of alopecia areata
research Comparative analysis of 3D and 2D cell-culturing methods in hair follicle spheroid morphogenesis and drug responsiveness
