Photobiomodulation therapy using red and near-infrared light can reduce inflammation and aid in healing various conditions.
research Induction of basal cell carcinomas and trichoepitheliomas in mice overexpressing GLI-1
Overexpressing GLI-1 in mice skin can cause tumors like human basal cell carcinomas.
research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
research GLI2 Is Expressed in Normal Human Epidermis and BCC and Induces GLI1 Expression by Binding to its Promoter
GLI2 activates GLI1, promoting skin tumor growth and hair development.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
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 HOXC13 Is Involved in the Regulation of Human Hair Keratin Gene Expression
HOXC13 is crucial for regulating hair keratin genes in hair follicles.
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 Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Characterization of a 300 kbp Region of Human DNA Containing the Type II Hair Keratin Gene Domain
The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.
research ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE SIX‐LIKE4 (RSL4) promotes root hair elongation by transcriptionally regulating the expression of genes required for cell growth
The protein RSL4 is crucial for making root hairs longer by controlling genes related to cell growth.
research Apoptosis May Explain the Pharmacological Mode of Action and Adverse Effects of Isotretinoin, Including Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin's effects and side effects, like birth defects and depression, might be due to it causing cell death in various cells.
research Beauty is skin deep: the fascinating biology of the epidermis and its appendages.
The biology of skin and hair is complex and not fully understood.
research Tcf3 promotes cell migration and wound repair through regulation of lipocalin 2
Tcf3 helps cells move and heal wounds by controlling lipocalin 2.
research Krtap16, Characterization of a New Hair Keratin-associated Protein (KAP) Gene Complex on Mouse Chromosome 16 and Evidence for Regulation by Hoxc13
Hoxc13 regulates specific hair protein genes on mouse chromosome 16.
research A novel missense mutation (C622G) in the zinc‐finger domain of the human hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia with papular lesions
A new gene mutation causes a rare type of hair loss.
research Basonuclin is associated with the ribosomal RNA genes on human keratinocyte mitotic chromosomes
Basonuclin may help control ribosomal RNA gene activity in skin cells.
research IL-36γ drives skin toxicity induced by EGFR/MEK inhibition and commensal Cutibacterium acnes
A protein called IL-36γ causes skin side effects from certain cancer treatments when combined with a common skin bacteria.
research The development of several organs and appendages is impaired in mice lacking Sp6
Mice without the Sp6 gene have problems developing several body parts, including hair, teeth, limbs, and lungs.
