Stem Cells in the Skin

This study found that follicular stem cells in hair follicles are more sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of glucocorticoids compared to basal keratinocytes due to incomplete desensitization.

This study found that a bulge stem cell-enriched population from canine hair follicles successfully formed interfollicular epidermis in vitro within two weeks, suggesting potential for regenerative canine skin therapies.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the molecular landscape of the dermal papilla, particularly focusing on Blimp1's role in hair follicle development and potential therapeutic targets for hair regeneration, but presents no new clinical results.

This perspective discusses Villani et al.'s findings on the role of the IGF regulatory protein Igfbp2 in basal cell carcinogenesis and highlights potential therapeutic and preventive targets, while raising questions about the cell of origin.

In this viewpoint, researchers discussed the possible role of the developmental origin of scalp dermis in influencing the specific pattern of hair follicle miniaturization seen in male pattern hair loss, noting that frontal follicles are more susceptible while occipital follicles remain largely terminal.

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.
