Apoptosis Coordinates With Proliferation And Differentiation During Human Hair Follicle Morphogenesis

March 2005 in “ Journal of dermatological science ”

Chia-Wen Chang, Rong‐Kung Tsai, Hsin Su Yu

Studysummary This study found that apoptosis, along with proliferation, plays a crucial role in shaping and extending human hair follicles by coordinating the formation and differentiation of the hair canal.

75 citations , January 2003 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

research Cyclic Alopecia in Msx2 Mutants: Defects in Hair Cycling and Hair Shaft Differentiation

158 citations , December 2002 in “Development”

In this study, Msx2-deficient mice showed progressive hair loss due to shortened anagen phase and prolonged catagen and telogen phases, resulting in cyclic alopecia with structurally abnormal hair shafts.

research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, Is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells of the Human Hair Follicle

86 citations , May 2002 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study characterized a new human keratin, hK6irs1, specifically found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, which suggests its role in the structural integrity and guidance of growing hair shafts.

research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins

272 citations , September 2001 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry”

This study cataloged human type II hair keratins, detailing their expression and differentiation roles in hair follicles and comparing them with type I keratins to explore keratin-pairing principles.

research The Catalog of Human Hair Keratins

235 citations , July 1999 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry”

This study establishes a catalog of human type I hair keratins and identifies their specific roles and expression patterns during hair differentiation and growth in scalp follicles.

research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle

139 citations , December 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

research Principles of Hair Cycle Control

109 citations , December 1998 in “The Journal of Dermatology”

This review discusses the hair follicle cycle's complex regulation and highlights the potential for targeting catagen control in future therapies without presenting new experimental data.
