research Mimicking Hair Disorders by Genetic Manipulation of Organ-Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Scientists can mimic hair disorders by altering genes in lab-grown human hair follicles, but these follicles lack some features of natural ones.
research Hypotrichosis With Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
A rare genetic disease causes sparse hair and early blindness due to a gene mutation.
research Methods in Inflammatory Hair Disease Research: Enhanced Multiplex Imaging on Alopecia Areata Tissue Sections
New imaging technology can show up to 40 different markers in hair loss tissue, helping to understand hair disease better.
research PPAR-γ Modulation as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Scarring Alopecia
A new treatment using AGED to modulate PPAR-γ shows promise for treating scarring hair loss by protecting and repairing hair follicle cells.
research The PPAR-γ Modulator, N-Acetyl-GED, Protects From Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Hair Follicles: Potential Relevance for Scarring Alopecia
N-acetyl-GED may help prevent and partially reverse a process that leads to scarring hair loss.
research Spatiotemporal Antagonism in Mesenchymal-Epithelial Signaling in Sweat Versus Hair Fate Decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.
research An Underlying Mechanism of Hair Loss in Acrodermatitis Enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research Genetics of Alopecia
Different genes are linked to various types of hair loss.
research Desmoglein 3-Mediated Mechanical Transadhesion Controls Epithelial Stem Cell Quiescence
Desmoglein 3 is important for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive and maintaining their special properties.
research Cell Adhesion Molecules in Inflammatory and Neoplastic Skin Diseases
Cell adhesion molecules are important in the development of certain skin diseases.
research Human Dermal Stem Cells Differentiate Into Functional Epidermal Melanocytes
Human dermal stem cells can become functional skin pigment cells.
research Pseudo Pemphigus Phenotypes in Mice with Inactivated Desmoglein 3
Mice with a mutated Dsg3 gene showed severe symptoms but not the typical blistering of pemphigus vulgaris.
research The Role of the Vitamin D Receptor in the Epidermal Stem Cell Response to Wounding
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for skin wound healing.
research Dynamic Expression Patterns of Tenascin, Proteoglycans, and Cell Adhesion Molecules During Human Hair Follicle Morphogenesis
Specific proteins and molecules play key roles in the development of human hair follicles.
research Effect of Hataedock Treatment on Epidermal Structure Maintenance Through Intervention in the Endocannabinoid System
Hataedock treatment improved skin health and reduced atopic dermatitis symptoms by enhancing the skin barrier and reducing inflammation.
research Deciphering the Role of the Hexosamine Pathway in Skin Homeostasis
The hexosamine pathway helps protect skin cells from stress and may improve skin and hair health.
research Eph/Ephrin Signaling in Epidermal Differentiation and Disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation
Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin development.
research Phenotypic Diversity and Mutation Spectrum in Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
Different harmful mutations in the CDH3 gene cause HJMD, but symptoms vary among individuals.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnt Signaling
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Inherited Disorders of the Hair
The document explains the genetic causes and characteristics of inherited hair disorders.
research Individual Variation in Balance Between Platelet-Secreted Growth Factors Causing Contradictory Effects on Hair Follicle Could Potentially Impact Response to PRP Therapy in Patients With Scalp Hair Loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research IL-9 Mediated Human Primary Keratinocytes Invasion Is Dependent on MLC Controlled Contractility and Independent of MMP Activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research Integration of Magnetic Tweezers and Traction Force Microscopy for Exploring the Mechanobiology of Keratinocyte Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Anchoring Junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research Dermal Fibroblasts Enhance Growth Factors Production by Androgens and Modulate Keratinocyte Proliferation and Differentiation
Androgens increase growth factors in skin cells, which may lead to acne.
research A Novel Animal Model of Desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) Deficiency Reveals an Essential Role for Dsg1 in Epidermal Barrier Formation
Dsg1 is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier in mice.
research Elevated Expression of Osteopontin Splice Variants in Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer Compared to Normal Skin and Adult Keratinocytes
Nonmelanoma skin cancers have higher levels of certain osteopontin variants than normal skin.
research Melanocytes: The New Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
research Regulation of Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism by Tumor Suppressor FLCN
