4-aminopyridine angiogenesis keratinocyte proliferation fibroblast transformation collagen production 4-AP

Studysummary In this study on mice with severe thermal skin burns, researchers found that administering 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) helped reduce inflammation and apoptosis, promoted angiogenesis, and accelerated wound healing by enhancing specific cellular behaviors and signaling pathways.

research Cell Death as an Architect of Adult Skin Stem Cell Niches

April 2024 in “Cell death and differentiation”

This study discusses how different modes of regulated cell death in keratinocytes affect skin stem cell niches, and their role in skin inflammation, injury repair, and cancer, based on findings from human dermatological conditions and experimental mouse models.

research Cooperation of TGF-β and FGF Signalling Pathways in Skin Development

23 citations , May 2023 in “Cell Proliferation”

This review highlights the critical role of TGF-β and FGF signaling pathways in the development and regeneration of skin layers, particularly the dermis, and discusses their significance in advancing future clinical applications in dermatology.

research Macrophages in Skin Wounds: Functions and Therapeutic Potential

56 citations , November 2022 in “Biomolecules”

This review explores the role of macrophage subsets in adult cutaneous wound healing and emphasizes their potential for therapeutic targeting, but reports no new experimental results.

research Store-Operated Calcium Channels in Skin

6 citations , October 2022 in “Frontiers in Physiology”

This review discusses the roles of store-operated Ca 2+ entry proteins in skin cell function and their links to various skin diseases, but it reports no new results.

research Gene Therapy to Enhance Angiogenesis in Chronic Wounds

36 citations , August 2022 in “Molecular Therapy — Nucleic Acids”

This review discusses various gene therapy and non-viral delivery methods to promote angiogenesis for chronic wound healing, but it reports no new clinical results.

research Cell Death in Skin Function, Inflammation, and Disease

12 citations , August 2022 in “Biochemical Journal”

This review discusses the mechanisms of skin-associated cell death and their potential role in treating inflammatory skin diseases, but presents no new clinical findings.

research 4-Aminopyridine Induces Nerve Growth Factor to Improve Skin Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration

July 2022 in “Biomedicines”

This study found that 4-aminopyridine significantly enhanced skin wound healing by accelerating wound closure, improving skin architecture, and promoting hair follicle neogenesis and tissue regeneration.

research A Subset of TREM2+ Dermal Macrophages Secretes Oncostatin M to Maintain Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Inhibit Hair Growth

101 citations , March 2019 in “Cell Stem Cell”

This study found that Oncostatin M, via JAK-STAT5 signaling, keeps hair follicle stem cells inactive, and its removal leads to hair growth initiation in mice.

research Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 4 Inhibits the Regeneration of Hair Follicles

7 citations , January 2019 in “PeerJ”

This study found that intradermal injection of Secreted Frizzled-related Protein 4 inhibits, but does not block, hair follicle regeneration in mice, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for hair follicle regeneration disorders.

research Macrophages Contribute to the Cyclic Activation of Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cells

175 citations , December 2014 in “PLoS Biology”

This study found that macrophages near hair follicles contribute to the activation of skin epithelial stem cells in mice, suggesting a novel role for macrophages in regulating hair growth.
