Research cited in this study

10 / 10 results

research Role of Vitamin D and Calcium Signaling in Epidermal Wound Healing

15 citations , August 2022 in “Journal of endocrinological investigation”

This review discusses how vitamin D and calcium signaling are essential for wound healing by activating epidermal and hair follicle stem cells, noting that deficiencies may lead to delayed or chronic wounds.

research Activation of Camp Signaling in Response to Alpha-Phellandrene Promotes Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Levels and Proliferation in Human Dermal Papilla Cells

6 citations , August 2022 in “International journal of molecular sciences”

This study demonstrated that α-phellandrene promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation through a cAMP-mediated pathway and upregulates VEGF expression, suggesting its potential use in hair loss prevention.

Human Epithelial Stem Cell Survival Within Their Niche Requires Tonic Cannabinoid Receptor 1 Signaling—Lessons From the Hair Follicle

research Human Epithelial Stem Cell Survival Within Their Niche Requires Tonic Cannabinoid Receptor 1 Signaling—Lessons From the Hair Follicle

14 citations , February 2021 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that activating CB1 receptor signaling in human hair follicles increased stem cell proliferation while reducing differentiated cell survival, suggesting CB1's role as a survival stimulus for epithelial stem cells.

research Epidermal Stem Cells in Hair Follicle Cycling and Skin Regeneration: A View From the Perspective of Inflammation

18 citations , November 2020 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology”

This review discusses how inflammation influences hair follicle stem cell activities like wound healing and follicle cycling and suggests a potential link between inflammation, stem cell activation, and programmed cell death.

research Androgen Modulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia

39 citations , March 2018 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

This review describes the molecular interactions between androgens and Wnt/ß-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia but reports no new experimental or clinical findings; the authors discuss potential Wnt/ß-catenin-targeted treatments for hair growth.

research Activation of TRPV3 Regulates Inflammatory Actions of Human Epidermal Keratinocytes

77 citations , September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that TRPV3 ion channels on human epidermal keratinocytes suppress cell proliferation, induce cell death, and trigger a proinflammatory response, suggesting a role in cutaneous inflammatory processes.

research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine

30 citations , March 2017 in “ACS biomaterials science & engineering”

This review discusses the structure and regenerative potential of hair follicles, highlighting their role in wound healing, stem cell populations, and keratin-based biomaterials, but it reports no new clinical results.

research VEGF Induces Proliferation of Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Through VEGFR-2-Mediated Activation of ERK

120 citations , May 2012 in “Experimental Cell Research”

This study found that VEGF stimulates the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells via the VEGFR-2/ERK pathway, without involving p38, JNK, or AKT signaling.

research Minoxidil: Mechanisms of Action on Hair Growth

397 citations , February 2004 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This article reviews the mechanisms by which minoxidil stimulates hair growth and reports no new clinical findings.

research Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Is an Autocrine Growth Factor for Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
