research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Cell Type-specific Functions of the Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L in the Heart
The study explored the role of the lysosomal protease Cathepsin L (Ctsl) in heart function, particularly in Ctsl-deficient mice, which exhibited dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and myocardial fibrosis. The absence of Ctsl in cardiomyocytes was primarily responsible for the DCM phenotype, while transgenic expression of Ctsl in these cells improved cardiac function but did not resolve fibrosis. Expression in epithelial cells improved hair loss but not heart function. The findings suggested that Ctsl was crucial for maintaining cardiac structure and function, likely through its role in collagen turnover by cardiac fibroblasts, and its deficiency led to significant cardiac pathology and complex phenotypes, including hair loss.
research Cell Type-Specific Actions of Thyroid Hormones in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Liver Fibrosis
Targeting thyroid hormone receptor α in liver cells may help treat liver fibrosis.
research The Malignant Capacity of Skin Tumors Induced by Expression of a Mutant H-Ras Transgene Depends on the Cell Type Targeted
The risk of skin tumors becoming malignant depends on the specific skin cell type affected.

HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth
MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
community Microneedling and aloe vera to recruit stem cells.
Microneedling combined with aloe vera may stimulate dormant stem cells in hair loss areas. Minoxidil is also suggested for better results.
community Kintor has announced the results for their human Phase I trials of GT20029
The conversation discusses the potential of a new hair loss treatment, GT20029, which may prevent hair loss by destroying androgen receptors on the scalp. Users express hope for the treatment's success and speculate on its usage routine, effectiveness, and possible side effects.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
