Balding scalps show different gene expressions affecting hair growth compared to non-balding scalps.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Twist1 Contributes to the Maintenance of Some Biological Properties of Dermal Papilla Cells in vitro by Forming a Complex With Tcf4 and β-Catenin
Twist1 helps maintain important features of cells crucial for hair growth by working with Tcf4 and β-catenin.
research Twist2 contributes to skin regeneration and hair follicle formation in mouse fetuses
Twist2 is essential for scarless skin healing and hair growth in mouse fetuses.
research Twist2 contributes to skin regeneration and hair follicle formation in mouse fetuses
Twist2 is essential for proper skin healing and hair growth in developing mice.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Proteins observed in scalp hair from preschool children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research The possible implication of the S250C variant of the autoimmune regulator protein in a patient with autoimmunity and immunodeficiency: in silico analysis suggests a molecular pathogenic mechanism for the variant
The S250C variant in a gene may cause autoimmunity and immunodeficiency by impairing protein function.
research 633 Low-level pulsed wave red light induces type I procollagen protein and ATP production at shorter treatment times as compared to continuous wave red light
Pulsed red light boosts collagen and energy in cells faster than continuous red light.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research Transforming growth factor-β in stem cells and tissue homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Treatment of Full-Thickness Skin Wounds with Blood-Derived CD34+ Precursor Cells Enhances Healing with Hair Follicle Regeneration
Blood-derived CD34+ cells speed up healing, reduce scarring, and regrow hair in skin wounds.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Differences between ultrastructure and protein composition in straight hair fibres
Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Protein degradation: expanding the toolbox to restrain cancer drug resistance
Using protein degradation to fight cancer drug resistance shows promise but needs more precise targeting and fewer side effects.
research More than One Way to Skin a Wound
The research found a new way to heal chronic skin ulcers by turning certain cells into skin tissue using specific factors.
research 613 Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Bacteria can help skin regenerate through a process called IL-1β signaling.
research Microscopic high-resolution digital volumetric imaging of human hair fibers
DVI provides detailed 3D imaging of hair and shows how various products protect and enhance hair.
research Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.
research Defining the Localization and Molecular Characteristic of Minor Salivary Gland Label-Retaining Cells
The study found stem cells in minor salivary glands that can differentiate and are involved in tumor formation when exposed to tobacco.
research Signal Peptide-CUB-EGF-like Domain-Containing Protein 3 (SCUBE3): From Molecule to Therapy
SCUBE3 is a potential target for cancer and alopecia treatment but is challenging to target due to its varied roles.
research Comparative analysis of stemness between dermal papilla cells and human dermalstem/progenitor cells
Human dermal stem/progenitor cells can divide and differentiate more than hair follicle dermal papilla cells.
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 A preliminary study of differentially expressed genes in expanded skin and normal skin: implications for adult skin regeneration
The study found that expanded skin regenerates similarly to normal skin, with 77 genes playing a role in the process.
research Localisation and regulation of cholesterol transporters in the human hair follicle: mapping changes across the hair cycle
