research Mapping the Expression of Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cell-Related Transcription Factors LHX2 and SOX9 in the Human Hair Follicle

33 citations , March 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”

In this study, LHX2 and SOX9 were found to mark distinct epithelial progenitor cell populations within human hair follicles, suggesting roles in maintaining the hair follicle epithelium.

Human Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Their Progeny: Current State of Knowledge, the Widening Gap in Translational Research and Future Challenges

research Human Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Their Progeny: Current State of Knowledge, the Widening Gap in Translational Research and Future Challenges

106 citations , March 2014 in “BioEssays”

This review examines current knowledge on human epithelial hair follicle stem cells, their markers, and outlines challenges in translating findings from murine studies to human research, but does not report new experimental results.

research Commentary on: Hairless and the Polyamine Putrescine Form a Negative Regulatory Loop in the Epidermis

5 citations , October 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study observed that putrescine and HR form a negative feedback mechanism affecting hair cycling, indicating a significant connection between HR, polyamines, and hair growth regulation.

research Hairless And The Polyamine Putrescine Form A Negative Regulatory Loop In The Epidermis

10 citations , August 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that Hairless (HR) and putrescine form a negative regulatory network that impacts epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle cycling, linked to the MYC superfamily's regulation of ODC expression.

research Endocannabinoids Limit Excessive Mast Cell Maturation And Activation In Human Skin

124 citations , January 2012 in “Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology”

This study found that activation of cannabinoid 1 receptors in human scalp hair follicles may limit excessive mast cell activation and maturation, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for managing MC-dependent skin diseases.

research Spermidine Promotes Human Hair Growth and Is a Novel Modulator of Human Epithelial Stem Cell Functions

61 citations , July 2011 in “PLOS ONE”

This study provides the first direct evidence that spermidine can stimulate hair growth and modulate human epithelial stem cell biology in cultured human hair follicles.

research Polyamines and Hair: A Couple in Search of Perfection

30 citations , July 2010 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This article reviews the role of polyamines in hair follicle growth and discusses potential therapeutic applications but provides no new clinical results.

research Prolactin: A Novel Neuroendocrine Regulator of Human Keratin Expression In Situ

64 citations , January 2010 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study found that prolactin is a key regulator of keratin expression in human hair follicles, enhancing specific keratin types and influencing epithelial stem cell-associated keratins.

research Cutaneous Application of Alpha-Methylspermidine Activates the Growth of Resting Hair Follicles in Mice

12 citations , December 2009 in “Amino Acids”

In this study, topical application of α-methylspermidine during the telogen phase in mice induced hair growth by increasing the polyamine pool and mimicking the anagen phase's characteristics.

research Methods in Hair Research: How to Objectively Distinguish Between Anagen and Catagen in Human Hair Follicle Organ Culture

132 citations , September 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study introduced a new classification system for distinguishing between anagen VI and early catagen stages in human hair follicle organ culture, using it to confirm eflornithine's ability to induce premature catagen.

Markers to Evaluate the Quality and Self-Renewing Potential of Engineered Human Skin Substitutes In Vitro and After Transplantation

research Markers to Evaluate the Quality and Self-Renewing Potential of Engineered Human Skin Substitutes In Vitro and After Transplantation

120 citations , August 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that C8/144B antibody exclusively binds to the hair follicle bulge and not the epidermal stratum basale, with cytokeratin 19 serving as a key marker of certain basal keratinocytes that decrease with age.
