research Mechanisms regulating skin immunity and inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Alopecia areata: a review of disease pathogenesis
Alopecia areata is likely an autoimmune disease with unclear triggers, involving various immune cells and molecules, and currently has no cure.
research Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches
Regenerated fully functional hair follicles using stem cells, with potential for hair regrowth therapy.
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 The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
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 Targeting the Janus Kinase Family in Autoimmune Skin Diseases
Janus kinase inhibitors are promising treatments for autoimmune skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.
research From causes of aging to death from COVID-19
Older age and related diseases increase COVID-19 risk, but anti-aging treatments might help.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Identification of a link between Wnt/β-catenin signalling and the cell fusion pathway
Wnt/β-catenin signaling is crucial for cell fusion in placental development.
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 Short-Chain Fatty Acids from Cutibacterium acnes Activate Both a Canonical and Epigenetic Inflammatory Response in Human Sebocytes
Short-chain fatty acids from *Cutibacterium acnes* cause skin inflammation, contributing to acne.
research Aberrant Activation of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Malignant Hematological Neoplasms
Abnormal Hedgehog signaling in blood cancers may help tumors grow and resist chemotherapy, suggesting potential for targeted treatments.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Clinical perspectives on the age-related increase of immunosuppressive activity
Aging and chronic inflammation weaken the immune system, increasing cancer and infection risks.
research IL-15 in T-Cell Responses and Immunopathogenesis
IL-15 is key for T cell function and could help improve treatments for immune-related diseases.
research The Human Skin Microbiome in Selected Cutaneous Diseases
Changes in skin microbes play a role in some skin diseases and could lead to new treatments.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Studying SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and therapeutic responses with complex organoids
Organoids can help study COVID-19 and develop treatments, but face challenges like instability and limited renewal.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases?
Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Development and Prospects of Organ Replacement Regenerative Therapy
Scientists have made progress in creating replacement teeth, hair, and glands that work, which could lead to new treatments for missing teeth, baldness, and dryness conditions.
research Testosterone target therapy: focus on immune response, controversies and clinical implications in patients with COVID-19 infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research Non-invasive Approaches for the Diagnosis of Autoimmune/Autoinflammatory Skin Diseases—A Focus on Psoriasis and Lupus erythematosus
Non-invasive methods show promise for diagnosing skin diseases like psoriasis and lupus but need more research for regular use.
research Induction of osteoblastic differentiation of neural crest-derived stem cells from hair follicles
Hair follicle cells can become bone-like cells, useful for bone repair.
research The concealed side of caspases: beyond a killer of cells
Caspases do more than kill cells; they also help in cell growth and disease, and targeting them could lead to new treatments.
