150-180 / 1000+ results research Intercellular junctions in normal epidermis
Desmosomal adhesion is essential for healthy skin structure and function.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research c-Myc activation in transgenic mouse epidermis results in mobilization of stem cells and differentiation of their progeny
c-Myc activation in mouse skin increases sebaceous gland growth and affects hair follicle development.
research Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) controls circadian cell proliferation and susceptibility to UVB-induced DNA damage in the epidermis
BMAL1 controls skin cell growth and UV damage risk, peaking at night.
research A new hair follicle-derived human epidermal model for the evaluation of sunscreen genoprotection
The new lab-grown skin model is good for testing sunscreen's protection against DNA damage from UV light.
research Allergens of permanent hair dyes induces epidermal damage, skin barrier loss and IL-1 α increase in epidermal in vitro model
Permanent hair dye mixtures can irritate and damage the skin.
research EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair
EZH1 and EZH2 are crucial for healthy hair growth and skin repair.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
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 GLI2 Is Expressed in Normal Human Epidermis and BCC and Induces GLI1 Expression by Binding to its Promoter
GLI2 activates GLI1, promoting skin tumor growth and hair development.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Transdifferentiation of corneal epithelium into epidermis occurs by means of a multistep process triggered by dermal developmental signals
Corneal cells can transform into skin and hair cells through specific signals.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Expression of μ-Opiate Receptor in Human Epidermis and Keratinocytes
μ-opiate receptors in skin cells may affect skin health and healing.
research From skin microrelief to wrinkles. An area ripe for investigation
Wrinkles form due to structural skin changes and vary in type and treatment response.
research Selenoproteins Are Essential for Proper Keratinocyte Function and Skin Development
Selenoproteins are crucial for healthy skin and hair.

Hair follicles help skin immune recovery after UVB exposure.
research Size-dependent penetration of nanoemulsions into epidermis and hair follicles: implications for transdermal delivery and immunization
Smaller nanoemulsions can penetrate skin and hair follicles better, which may be useful for delivering drugs and vaccines through the skin.
research Actinic keratosis: a clinical and epidemiological revision
Actinic keratosis can lead to skin cancer, is more common in fair-skinned people, and can be reduced with sunscreen and treated effectively.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
