research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Multifaceted role of keratins in epithelial cell differentiation and transformation
research Lipid peroxides induce early onset of catagen phase in murine hair cycles
Lipid peroxides can cause early hair loss by damaging hair follicles.
research Enhanced cutaneous wound healing by functional injectable thermo-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogel encapsulated human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells
A new hydrogel with stem cells from human umbilical cords improves skin wound healing and reduces inflammation.

research Hair follicle and interfollicular epidermal stem cells make varying contributions to wound regeneration
Different skin stem cells help heal wounds, with hair follicle cells becoming more important over time.
research Terrestrial vertebrates have two keratin gene clusters; striking differences in teleost fish
Terrestrial vertebrates have balanced keratin gene clusters, unlike teleost fish.
research Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia

research Repairing the lungs one breath at a time: How dedicated or facultative are you?
Lung repair involves both dedicated and flexible stem cells, important for developing new treatments.
research The Type I Keratin 19 Possesses Distinct and Context-dependent Assembly Properties
Keratin 19 forms less stable and shorter filaments than keratin 14, giving unique traits to certain skin cells.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research The activin binding proteins follistatin and follistatin-related protein are differentially regulated in vitro and during cutaneous wound repair
FLRG and follistatin have different roles in wound healing.
research α3β1-integrin regulates hair follicle but not interfollicular morphogenesis in adult epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research Disorders of Keratinization
Understanding genetic mutations helps diagnose and treat skin disorders like ichthyosis.
research Defining a Region of the Human Keratin 6a Gene That Confers Inducible Expression in Stratified Epithelia of Transgenic Mice
The human keratin 6a gene's specific sequences trigger expression in skin layers after injury.
