research Planar Cell Polarity-Dependent and Independent Functions in the Emergence of Tissue-Scale Hair Follicle Patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research Stem Cells Tightly Regulate Dead Cell Clearance to Maintain Tissue Fitness
Stem cells help remove dead cells to keep tissues healthy by balancing cell replacement and clearance.
research Repairing the Lungs One Breath at a Time: How Dedicated or Facultative Are You?
Lung repair involves both dedicated and flexible stem cells, important for developing new treatments.
research SOX2 in the Skin: Roles in Biology and Pathology
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research Dermal EZH2 Simultaneously Orchestrates Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Dependent Dermal Differentiation and Retinoic Acid Signaling Dependent Epidermal Proliferation During Murine Skin Development
Ezh2 controls skin development by balancing signals for dermal and epidermal growth.
research Identification of the Cell Lineage at the Origin of Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
Blocking Wnt signaling in young mice causes thymus shrinkage and cell loss, but recovery is possible when the block is removed.
research From Basal Cell Carcinoma Morphogenesis to Alopecia Induced by Hedgehog Inhibitors: Connecting the Dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research Skin Deep and Deeper: Multiple Pathways in Basal Cell Carcinogenesis
The research suggests new treatments for skin cancer could target specific cell growth pathways.
research Isolating Subpopulations of Human Epidermal Basal Cells Based on Polyclonal Serum Against Trypsin-Resistant CSPG4 Epitopes
The research found a way to identify and study skin cells with stem cell traits, revealing they behave differently in culture and questioning current stemness assessment methods.
research Identification of Hair Shaft Progenitors That Create a Niche for Hair Pigmentation
Scientists found cells in hair that are key for growth and color.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research Dysfunction of Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Progenitors Is Associated with Age-Related Hair Loss
Age-related hair loss is linked to the decline and dysfunction of hair follicle stem cells.
research Nestin as a Marker of Unipotent Embryonic and Adult Progenitors Differentiating into an Epithelial Cell Lineage of the Hair Follicles
Nestin identifies specific progenitor cells in hair follicles that can become outer root sheath cells.
research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Spreading of Isolated Ptch Mutant Basal Cell Carcinoma Precursors Is Physiologically Suppressed and Counteracts Tumor Formation in Mice
External factors can cause skin cancer cells that usually don't spread to grow and form tumors in mice.
research Phase I Study of the Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor IPI-926 in Adult Patients with Solid Tumors
The drug IPI-926 is safe at 160 mg daily and may help treat certain tumors, especially basal cell carcinoma.
research The Chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 Regulates the Migration of Melanocyte Progenitors in Mouse Hair Follicles
SDF-1/CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 are crucial for melanocyte movement in mouse hair follicles.
research Cyclical Dermal Micro-Niche Switching Governs the Morphological Infradian Rhythm of Mouse Zigzag Hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Characterization of CD4+ Stem Cells of the Skin and Their Role in Skin Homeostasis and Tumorigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor Under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research The Pioneer Factor SOX9 Competes for Epigenetic Factors to Switch Stem Cell Fates
SOX9 helps determine stem cell roles by interacting with DNA and proteins that control gene activity.
