Did you mean Cell Migration?

Glossary Cell Migration

process where cells move to different locations in the body

Cell migration, also known as cell movement or cell motility, is the process by which cells move from one location to another within an organism. This is crucial for various biological processes, including wound healing, immune responses, and embryonic development. Cells achieve this movement through a complex interplay of signaling pathways, cytoskeletal dynamics, and interactions with their surrounding environment.

research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis

363 citations , March 2017 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that, in mouse tail epidermis, stem cells rapidly activate and regenerate new progenitors to repair wounds, with mechanisms affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

research (−)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate promotes the dermal papilla cell proliferation and migration through the induction of VEGFA

January 2025 in “Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research”

This study found that EGCG, a compound from green tea, may enhance the proliferation and antioxidant activity of dermal papilla cells by upregulating VEGFA expression, potentially aiding hair follicle growth.

research 1229 Melanocyte cell states defined and visualized in developing mouse skin

April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to define and locate three distinct cell states of melanocytes in mouse skin development, potentially aiding the understanding of abnormal melanocyte differentiation.

research The Vitamin D Receptor Is Required for Mouse Hair Cycle Progression but not for Maintenance of the Epidermal Stem Cell Compartment

25 citations , March 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests that while VDR is crucial for maintaining hair follicles in mice, their degeneration may be linked to impaired cell migration during hair growth phases rather than stem cell loss.

research 1433 Role of BNC1 in keratinocytes proliferation and migration: A critical regulator of wound healing?

April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that Basonuclin 1 knockdown in human primary keratinocytes significantly reduces cell proliferation and affects migration, indicating its role in coordinating the re-epithelization phase of wound healing.

community Eirion Therapeutics Announces Potential Breakthrough Treatment for Hair Loss Based on First-in-Man Clinical Trial Results

in Update 415 upvotes 1 year ago

ET-02, a new hair loss treatment, shows promising results with a 6-fold increase in hair count, potentially outperforming minoxidil by activating stem cells in hair follicles. Further trials are ongoing to confirm its efficacy and safety, with potential market release in the future.

community Amplifica: Hope or Cope? A Review of Their Pipeline

9 upvotes 1 month ago

Amplifica's AMP-303 showed a modest increase in hair growth, but results were inconsistent and potentially misleading. Hyaluronic acid and osteopontin are being explored for hair growth, with varying effects on different hair types and conditions.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community Making your own RT1640 in China

4 years ago

RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.

community It's sad how many guys shave because they don't know

2209 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride can prevent hair loss if used early, but they may cause side effects. Many men shave their heads because they are unaware of these treatments or avoid them due to side effects or cost.
