8 / 8 results

research Re-Investigating the Basement Membrane Zone of Psoriatic Epidermal Lesions: Is Laminin-511 a New Player in Psoriasis Pathogenesis?

13 citations , June 2018 in “Journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry/The journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry”

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

research Human αβ and γδ T Cells in Skin Immunity and Disease

83 citations , June 2018 in “Frontiers in immunology”

This review discusses the roles of αβ and γδ T cells in skin health and disease and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential therapeutic developments.

research The Role of Macrophages in Skin Homeostasis

65 citations , February 2017 in “Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology”

This review examines the roles of macrophages and Langerhans cells in skin homeostasis and suggests that understanding these functions can aid in developing therapies for skin and hair regeneration, but it reports no new research findings.

237 citations , June 2013 in “Nature Medicine”

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 9, initially secreted by γδ T cells, plays a key role in modulating hair follicle regeneration in mice after skin wounds.

research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: A Paradigm for Disorders of Tissue Fragility

189 citations , July 2009 in “The Journal of clinical investigation/The journal of clinical investigation”

This review discusses how research on keratin biology has enhanced the understanding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and indicates potential new therapeutic approaches, but it presents no new experimental results.

research Scratching the Surface of Skin Development

788 citations , February 2007 in “Nature”

This review explores how adult skin epithelia preserve stem cell populations for hair follicle regeneration and wound healing, but reports no new experimental results.
