Vitamin C derivative reduces hair loss-related protein in cells.
research Promoting Axonal Regeneration Through Exosomes: An Update of Recent Findings on Exosomal PTEN and mTOR Modifiers
Exosomes help nerve fibers grow by affecting specific cell signaling pathways.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: A Paradigm for Disorders of Tissue Fragility
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice

research RSL4 Regulatory Network Acts as an Early Driver of Root Hair Growth at Low Temperature in Arabidopsis Thaliana
A gene network led by RSL4 is crucial for early root hair growth in response to cold in Arabidopsis thaliana.
research Macroenvironmental Regulation of Hair Cycling and Collective Regenerative Behavior
Hair growth is influenced by various body and external factors, and neighboring hairs communicate to synchronize regeneration.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by EGF Receptor Is Required for Hair Follicle Development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation Is Inhibited Through Cross-Talk Between Wnt/β-Catenin and Androgen Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells From Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Lrig1-Expressing Epidermal Progenitors Require SCD1 to Maintain the Dermal Papilla Niche
Hair growth-related cells need the enzyme SCD1 to help maintain the area that supports hair growth.
research Mind the Gender Gap: Does Prolactin Exert Gender and Site-Specific Effects on the Human Hair Follicle?
Prolactin may affect hair growth differently based on gender and scalp area.
research Types I and II Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.
research Melatonin Membrane Receptors in Peripheral Tissues: Distribution and Functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Environmental Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Their Epigenetic Influence on Androgenetic Alopecia
Environmental factors and chemicals might affect hormone balance and contribute to common hair loss.
research Cutaneous Retinoic Acid Levels Determine Hair Follicle Development And Downgrowth
The right amount of retinoic acid is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Estrogen Regulates the Expression of Retinoic Acid Synthesis Enzymes and Binding Proteins in Mouse Skin
Estrogen affects how vitamin A is processed in mouse skin, which may impact acne treatment, hair growth, and skin defense.
research Melatonin in the Skin: Synthesis, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
