TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
A mutation in the KRT75 gene causes frizzle feathers in chickens.
research Human Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells (hEPI-NCSC)—Characterization and Directed Differentiation into Osteocytes and Melanocytes
Human epidermal neural crest stem cells can become bone and skin pigment cells, making them useful for therapies.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Bioengineering a 3D integumentary organ system from iPS cells using an in vivo transplantation model

research Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
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 Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH): a new player in human hair‐growth control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Human hair follicles are an extrarenal source and a nonhematopoietic target of erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research From neural crest cells to melanocytes: cellular plasticity during development and beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research The cycling hair follicle as an ideal systems biology research model
The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.
research Proliferative and Non-Proliferative Lesions of the Rat and Mouse Integument
The project created a standardized system for classifying skin lesions in lab rats and mice.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities – Clues to Diagnosis and Treatment
Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting
Eucalyptol and oleic acid in nanoemulsions improve minoxidil delivery to hair follicles, potentially enhancing hair loss treatment.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: from the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Definitions, Contexts, Conflicts, Enigmas
