research Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation, and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
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 Basal Cell Carcinoma, Hedgehog Signaling, and Targeted Therapeutics: The Long and Winding Road
New treatments targeting the Hedgehog pathway can help treat advanced skin cancer but may have side effects and their effectiveness in early stages is unknown.
research Smoothened Receptor Inhibitor Vismodegib for the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma: A Retrospective Analysis of Efficacy and Side Effects
Vismodegib is effective for basal cell carcinoma but has severe side effects.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/- Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research Human Basal Cell Carcinoma: The Induction of Anagen Hair Follicle Differentiation
Basal cell carcinomas may differentiate similarly to hair follicles and could be influenced by hair cycle-related treatments.
research Isolating Subpopulations of Human Epidermal Basal Cells Based on Polyclonal Serum Against Trypsin-Resistant CSPG4 Epitopes
