research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Keratins in health and cancer: more than mere epithelial cell markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials as potential scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering applications
Improving artificial vascular grafts requires better materials and surface designs to reduce blood clotting and support blood vessel cell growth.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
research Effects of Visible Light on the Skin†
Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.
research ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Roles of jumonji and jumonji family genes in chromatin regulation and development
Jumonji genes are important for development and their mutations can cause abnormalities, especially in the heart and brain.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
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 A matter of life and death: self‐renewal in stem cells
Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.
research Cachexia and graft-vs.-host-disease-type skin changes in keratin promoter-driven TNF alpha transgenic mice.
TNF alpha in skin cells causes weight loss, hair and fat issues, and skin inflammation in mice.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Signaling in the stem cell niche: regulating cell fate, function and plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Structural abnormalities of the hair shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
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 MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research MicroRNA-214 controls skin and hair follicle development by modulating the activity of the Wnt pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in tissue injury: roles in pathology and therapeutic opportunities for regeneration
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway helps tissue regeneration but can also cause fibrosis, and drugs that inhibit this pathway may aid in healing skin and heart tissues.
research Physiologic functions of PP2A: Lessons from genetically modified mice
Mice studies show that Protein Phosphatase 2A is crucial for cell growth, development, and disease prevention.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research The blastema and epimorphic regeneration in mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
research Diffuse hair loss
Hair loss that spreads out can often fix itself or be treated by finding and handling the cause.
