research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
SOX11 and SOX4 help skin cells act like embryonic cells to heal wounds in mice.
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 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 Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
research Inducible deletion of epidermal Dicer and Drosha reveals multiple functions for miRNAs in postnatal skin
Drosha and Dicer are essential for hair follicle health and preventing DNA damage in skin cells.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Trichoblastic Carcinoma (“Malignant Trichoblastoma”) with Lymphatic and Hematogenous Metastases
Long-standing benign tumors can become cancerous, especially in people with weakened immune systems.
research Stem cells and the circadian clock
The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
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 Hair colouring, permanent styling and hair structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Identifying novel strategies for treating human hair loss disorders: Cyclosporine A suppresses the Wnt inhibitor, SFRP1, in the dermal papilla of human scalp hair follicles
Cyclosporine A may help treat hair loss by blocking a protein that inhibits hair growth.
research The role of nuclear hormone receptors in cutaneous wound repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research A novel mouse model demonstrates that oncogenic melanocyte stem cells engender melanoma resembling human disease
Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Keratin 79 identifies a novel population of migratory epithelial cells that initiates hair canal morphogenesis and regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.

The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Skin physiology in microgravity: a 3-month stay aboard ISS induces dermal atrophy and affects cutaneous muscle and hair follicles cycling in mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Noncoding dsRNA induces retinoic acid synthesis to stimulate hair follicle regeneration via TLR3
Noncoding dsRNA boosts hair growth by activating TLR3 and increasing retinoic acid.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
