ABCG2 protein marks stem-like skin cells in human epidermis.
research Establishment and Functional Characterization of Immortalized Rabbit Dermal Papilla Cell Lines
Researchers created a stable rabbit cell line for hair research that doesn't age quickly or become cancerous.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
Hair stops producing melanin as it transitions from the growth phase to the resting phase.
research Progenitor cells expressing nestin, a neural crest stem cell marker, differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes
Nestin-expressing progenitor cells become outer root sheath keratinocytes.
research Plerixafor Biases CXCR4 Signaling Through β-Arrestin to Promote Melanogenesis via β-Catenin–MITF Activation
Plerixafor may help treat pigmentation disorders by promoting skin repigmentation.
research A function for Rac1 in the terminal differentiation and pigmentation of hair
Rac1 is crucial for normal hair structure and pigmentation.
research Detection of Functionally Active Melanocortin Receptors and Evidence for an Immunoregulatory Activity of α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
αMSH may help regulate immune responses in hair follicles and its disruption could lead to hair loss.
research MITF E318K naevus phenotype: the modifying role of MC1R Red Hair Variants
research Niche work when you can get it: collagen XVII and the melanocyte stem cell
Collagen XVII is crucial for preventing hair and pigmentation loss by maintaining melanocyte stem cells.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research Murine skin as a target for melatonin bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.
research Clinical Snippets
Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research B-Raf and C-Raf Are Required for Melanocyte Stem Cell Self-Maintenance
B-Raf and C-Raf are essential for maintaining melanocyte stem cells to prevent hair graying.
research Generation and Characterization of Multipotent Stem Cells from Established Dermal Cultures
Human skin cells can be turned into versatile stem cells, but their ability to do so decreases with repeated use.
research 746 Transcriptomic profiling of frontal and occipital dermal papilla reveals potential role of TRPS1 in androgenic alopecia
TRPS1 loss in balding scalp areas contributes to hair loss in androgenic alopecia.
research Targeted Knockout of β-Catenin in Adult Melanocyte Stem Cells Using a Mouse Line, Dct::CreERT2, Results in Disrupted Stem Cell Renewal and Pigmentation Defects
Removing β-catenin in certain stem cells causes hair whitening and pigmentation issues.
research 1418 Characterization of ectomesenchyme as an origin of epidermal stem cells
Ectomesenchyme is a key source of skin stem cells.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Characterization of new stem/progenitor cells in skin appendages
New stem cells in nails and sweat glands can regenerate skin and hair.
research 189 Integrating single-cell and spatial transcriptomics of human hair follicles to define transcriptional signature of follicular dermal papilla
The research identified specific genes that are active in the cells crucial for hair growth.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Colourless side of the nude mutation: Foxn1 and hair pigmentation
Foxn1 is essential for hair pigmentation by directing pigment transfer to hair cells.
