Glossary Epithelial Components

cells and structures forming protective and functional tissue layers

Epithelial components refer to the cells and structures that make up the epithelium, which is the tissue forming the outer layer of the body's surfaces and lining the cavities and organs. These components include various types of epithelial cells, such as squamous, cuboidal, and columnar cells, which serve functions like protection, secretion, and absorption. For example, the skin's outer layer and the lining of the gut are made of epithelial components.

research Interfollicular epidermal stem-like cells for the recreation of the hair follicle epithelial compartment

14 citations , January 2021 in “Stem cell research & therapy”

This study suggests that interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes with stem-like features may serve as an alternative to follicular keratinocytes for hair regeneration by supporting hair follicle morphogenesis in vivo.

research Mechanical forces across compartments coordinate cell shape and fate transitions to generate tissue architecture

2 citations , February 2024 in “Nature cell biology”

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

research Stereological Quantification of Cell-Cycle Kinetics and Mobilization of Epithelial Stem Cells during Wound Healing

1 citations , January 2016 in “Methods in molecular biology”

This article reviews a new method to accurately estimate proliferative and migratory epithelial cell numbers post-wounding but reports no experimental findings; the authors suggest its relevance to skin stem-cell biology research.

research Compartmentation of Mitochondrial and Oxidative Metabolism in Growing Hair Follicles: A Ring of Fire

40 citations , March 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study visualized mitochondrial metabolism in cultured bovine hair follicles and plucked human hairs, finding that ROS and mitochondrial polarization correlate in specific hair follicle regions, particularly near keratin deposition sites.

research 09-P006 Epithelial–mesenchymal interactions promote hair follicle neogenesis and a new stem cell niche in adult corneal epithelium

August 2009 in “Mechanisms of Development”

Adult hair follicle cells can create new hair follicles from corneal cells with the right support.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

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 Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

23 upvotes 11 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
