Research
240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch Molecular Cloning of 5′ Flanking Region of Ovine Keratin Associated Protein 6-1 Gene and Comparison of the Sequences
The research helps in creating genetically modified animals to study hair growth.
research The effects of sonic, desert and Indian hedgehog signalling in skin
Shh and Dhh affect skin development and can cause tumors, while Ihh does not.
research 921 Generation of a new rodent model of scleroderma
Researchers created a new mouse model for studying scleroderma.
research 1448 Ligand-dependent Wnt signaling attenuates mechanotransduction and protects against wound occlusion-mediated abolishment of hair follicle regeneration
Covering a wound can stop hair growth by promoting scarring, but boosting a process called Wnt signaling can help hair grow back even when the wound is covered.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
A substance called prostaglandin D2 is found more in bald scalps and it stops hair from growing. Blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Live imaging of stem cell and progeny behaviour in physiological hair-follicle regeneration.
Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
research Stable transfection and identification of a hair follicle-specific expression vector of IGFBP-5 in goat fetal fibroblasts
The method successfully created stable transfection donor cells for goat hair follicle research.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Reversing wrinkled skin and hair loss in mice by restoring mitochondrial function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research A keratin 15 containing stem cell population from the hair follicle contributes to squamous papilloma development in the mouse
Keratin 15 cells from hair follicles help develop and maintain skin tumors in mice.
research Experimental method for creating skin with acquired appendage dysfunction
The study developed mouse models to help research and treat hair and sweat gland issues.
research 879 Molecular network of Smads and Id2 genes in hair follicle stem cells regulation
The BMP/Smads pathway and Id2 gene control hair follicle stem cells, affecting their rest and growth phases.
research Light-Emitting Hair Follicles: Studying Skin Regeneration With In Vivo Imaging
Scientists developed tools to observe hair regeneration in real time and assess skin health, using glowing mice and light-controlled genes.
research Nascent blood vessels in the skin arise from nestin-expressing hair-follicle cells
Hair follicle cells can create new blood vessels in the skin.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Hair Follicle–Derived Blood Vessels Vascularize Tumors in Skin and Are Inhibited by Doxorubicin
Doxorubicin can block blood vessels from hair follicles, reducing skin tumor growth.
research A Definitive Role of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Photocarcinogenesis
Inhibiting ODC can prevent UV-induced skin cancer.
research Ornithine Decarboxylase Expression Leads to Translocation and Activation of Protein Kinase CK2 in Vivo
High ornithine decarboxylase levels may lead to hair loss and cancer by increasing CK2 activity in the nucleus.
research Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activates melanocyte stem cells in vitro and in vivo
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway can activate melanocyte stem cells and may help regenerate hair follicles.
research Differential sensitivity of epidermal cell subpopulations to β-catenin-induced ectopic hair follicle formation
Sebaceous glands can form new hair follicles when activated, but hair follicle bulges cannot.
research Co-factors of LIM domains (Clims/Ldb/Nli) regulate corneal homeostasis and maintenance of hair follicle stem cells
Clim proteins are essential for maintaining healthy corneas and hair follicles.
research Elevated ornithine decarboxylase activity promotes skin tumorigenesis by stimulating the recruitment of bulge stem cells but not via toxic polyamine catabolic metabolites
Increased ODC activity leads to skin tumors by recruiting stem cells, not by toxic byproducts.
research Docosahexaenoic acid slows inflammation resolution and impairs the quality of healed skin tissue
High DHA levels delay wound healing and worsen skin repair quality.
research 845 Dermal lymphatic vessels promote hair follicle growth via the BMP inhibitor Sostdc1
Dermal lymphatic vessels help hair growth by affecting hair cycle phases.
research Abstract 4300: Constitutive activation of Stat3 increases hair follicle progenitor population at the expense of bulge region keratinocyte stem cells
Stat3 activation increases hair follicle progenitors but reduces bulge region stem cells.
research Hair growth control by follistatin
Follistatin is important for hair growth and could help treat hair loss.
research Ligand-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor Maintain Hair Follicle Homeostasis
