Research cited in this study

12 / 12 results

research Distinct Mechanisms for Sebaceous Gland Self-Renewal and Regeneration Provide Durability in Response to Injury

46 citations , September 2023 in “Cell Reports”

This study reports that sebaceous glands can regenerate after injury through stem cell plasticity, with hair-follicle-derived stem cells replacing sebaceous gland progenitors and playing a crucial role in the regeneration process, which is dependent on FGFR2 signaling and aided by hair growth induction.

research TREM2 Macrophages Induced by Human Lipids Drive Inflammation in Acne Lesions

62 citations , July 2022 in “Science Immunology”

This study discovered that TREM2 macrophages influenced by squalene play a role in acne's development by hindering the killing of Cutibacterium acnes, helping explain why benzoyl peroxide is effective in treatment.

research Immune Modulation of Hair Follicle Regeneration

29 citations , May 2020 in “npj Regenerative Medicine”

This review discusses the role of the immune niche in hair follicle regeneration and its impact on different forms of alopecia, highlighting research gaps and potential therapeutic strategies.

research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System

306 citations , April 2019 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This review discusses the protective roles of skin-resident immune cells in maintaining tissue homeostasis and facilitating wound healing, but reports no new experimental findings.

research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium

181 citations , January 2019 in “Cell”

In this research, authors found that skin-resident ILCs regulate sebaceous gland function and microbial balance, emphasizing an immune-epithelia system that supports host-microbe symbiosis.

research Pten Loss In Lgr5+ Hair Follicle Stem Cells Promotes SCC Development

24 citations , January 2019 in “Theranostics”

This study found that loss of the Pten gene in Lgr5+ hair follicle stem cells promoted squamous cell carcinoma formation through the Akt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

research The Microbiome in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis

365 citations , November 2018 in “Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology”

This review discusses the role of the skin microbiome in maintaining health and modulating atopic dermatitis, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

research Macrophages Promote Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration in a CX3CR1- and TGF-β1-Dependent Manner

36 citations , April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that transforming growth factor-β1 and CX3CR1 are crucial for recruiting specific macrophages essential for wound-induced hair growth in mice.

research Alopecia Areata: Overview and Insights from January 2018

290 citations , December 2017 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical evaluation, and pathogenesis of alopecia areata and highlights recent advancements, but it does not report new clinical findings.

research Macrophages Induce AKT/β-Catenin-Dependent Lgr5+ Stem Cell Activation and Hair Follicle Regeneration Through TNF

117 citations , March 2017 in “Nature Communications”

This study shows that macrophage-induced TNF signaling can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote new hair follicle formation after wounding by regulating AKT/β-catenin pathways.

research Epidermal Notch1 Recruits RORγ+ Group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells to Orchestrate Normal Skin Repair

86 citations , April 2016 in “Nature Communications”

This study suggests that Notch1 acts as a key signal in skin epithelium, promoting immune cell recruitment and aiding in normal skin repair after damage.

research Alopecia Areata Is Driven by Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes and Is Reversed by JAK Inhibition

701 citations , August 2014 in “Nature medicine”

This study found that JAK inhibitors promote hair regrowth in both mice and human alopecia areata cases by blocking key immune pathways involved in disease development.
