6 / 6 results

research Histone H3 K4/9/27 Trimethylation Levels Affect Wound Healing and Stem Cell Dynamics in Adult Skin

26 citations , December 2019 in “Stem Cell Reports”

This study found that transient hypomethylation of histone H3 K4/9/27me3 is crucial for the proper dynamics of adult skin epithelial stem cells and effective tissue repair in mice.

research Fibroblast Heterogeneity: Implications for Human Disease

299 citations , January 2018 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This review explores fibroblast heterogeneity in the mammalian dermis and suggests potential therapeutic applications by targeting fibroblast subtypes, but reports no new experimental results.

research Signaling Couples Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence With Reduced Histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 for Proper Tissue Homeostasis

31 citations , April 2016 in “Nature communications”

This study found that in adult mouse skin, reduced levels of histone H3 K4/K9/K27me3 during hair follicle stem cell quiescence are linked to proper tissue homeostasis.

research Genome-Wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage

191 citations , September 2011 in “Cell stem cell”

This study found that polycomb-group-mediated repression plays a key role in regulating hair follicle stem cell states and lineage progression by distinct mechanisms in adult mouse skin.

Bald Scalp in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells

research Bald Scalp in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells

235 citations , January 2011 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This study found that androgenetic alopecia may involve a defect in the conversion of hair follicle stem cells to progenitor cells, as demonstrated by a reduced presence of progenitor cells in bald scalp samples.

research Coexistence of Quiescent and Active Adult Stem Cells in Mammals

1201 citations , January 2010 in “Science”

This review discusses stem cells in the hair follicle, bone marrow, and intestinal epithelium and introduces a model where quiescent and cycling stem cells may coexists in "zoned" configurations.
