research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
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 dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research Next generation human skin constructs as advanced tools for drug development
Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Identification of Ectodysplasin Target Genes Reveals the Involvement of Chemokines in Hair Development
Chemokine signaling is important for hair development.
research Hair follicle and interfollicular epidermal stem cells make varying contributions to wound regeneration
Different skin stem cells help heal wounds, with hair follicle cells becoming more important over time.
research Differential proteomics of lesional vs. non-lesional biopsies revealed non-immune mechanisms of alopecia areata
Non-immune factors play a significant role in alopecia areata.
research Polycomb repressive complex 2 in adult hair follicle stem cells is dispensable for hair regeneration
Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 is not needed for hair regeneration.
research Region-specific reversal of epidermal planar polarity in the rosette fancy mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research Skin Stem Cells: At the Frontier Between the Laboratory and Clinical Practice. Part 1: Epidermal Stem Cells
Epidermal stem cells show promise for future dermatology treatments due to ongoing advancements.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research De Novo Regeneration of Rete Ridges during Cetacean skin wound healing
Fraser's Dolphin can heal skin wounds with minimal scarring, unlike humans.
research 15. Hair and Nails
Women with androgenetic alopecia have fewer terminal hairs, phenol in nail surgery is safe, and a new hair transplant method is faster and less damaging.
research Delayed epidermal permeability barrier formation and hair follicle aberrations in Inv-Cldn6 mice
Mice with too much Claudin-6 have skin barrier problems and abnormal hair growth.
research Lrig1 Expression in Human Sebaceous Gland Tumors
Lrig1 could be a marker for advanced sebaceous carcinoma.
research Loss of epidermal PLCg1 induced sebaceous gland hyperplasia and sparse hair
Removing PLCg1 from skin cells caused thicker oil glands and less hair in mice.
research TCF/Lef1 activity controls establishment of diverse stem and progenitor cell compartments in mouse epidermis
TCF/Lef1 activity is essential for proper skin cell development and renewal.
research Loss of epidermal Evi/Wls results in a phenotype resembling psoriasiform dermatitis
Loss of a specific protein in skin cells causes symptoms similar to psoriasis.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research LB999 Role of transcription factor Ovol2 in skin epithelial regeneration and repair
Ovol2 is essential for normal skin and hair regeneration.
research Analysis of the abnormal human hair keratins by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
research Igf1r signalling acts on the anagen‐to‐catagen transition in the hair cycle
Igf1r helps regulate hair growth cycles.
research Deletion of the epidermis derived laminin γ1 chain leads to defects in the regulation of late hair morphogenesis
