LHX2 hair follicle placodes sweat gland placodes P-cadherin LEF1 NKA NKCC1 keratins K14

Studysummary In this study, the researchers identified LHX2 as a specific marker for hair follicle placodes, differentiating them from eccrine sweat gland placodes through double immunofluorescence staining.

7 / 7 results

research Immunostaining Study of Cytokeratins in Human Hair Follicle Development

2 citations , May 2020 in “Anais brasileiros de dermatologia/Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia”

This study observed that cytokeratins are expressed at specific stages during human fetal hair follicle development, with early markers indicating cellular maturation and later markers appearing in more developed follicles.

research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis

118 citations , January 2016 in “Current Topics in Developmental Biology”

This essay discusses the establishment, maintenance, and role of skin stem cells in tissue homeostasis, wound repair, and their relation to skin cancer, without reporting new experimental findings.

research Involvement of Wnt, Eda, and Shh at Defined Stages of Sweat Gland Development

55 citations , September 2014 in “Development”

In this study, mouse sweat gland development relied on a regulatory sequence initiated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and disruptions in Wnt, Eda, or Shh pathways led to distinct developmental failures.
