7 / 7 results

research Stem Cells and the Skin

22 citations , November 2012 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology”

research Stem Cells and Alopecia: A Review of Pathogenesis

33 citations , April 2012 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This review discusses the role of stem cells in alopecia pathogenesis, highlighting the differences between scarring and nonscarring types, and reports no new clinical results.

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 Stem Cell Markers (Cytokeratin 15, CD34, and Nestin) in Primary Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia

54 citations , January 2009 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that in scarring alopecia, stem cells are differentially localized, suggesting that both inner and outer root sheath stem cells, rather than just follicular bulge stem cells, are involved.

1279 citations , November 2005 in “Nature Medicine”

research Pathobiology of Androgenetic Alopecia
