research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective
The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.
research Epidermal Homeostasis: A Balancing Act of Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Scratching the Surface of Skin Development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Modulating the Stem Cell Niche for Tissue Regeneration

research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
research The Circadian Molecular Clock Creates Epidermal Stem Cell Heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Vitamin D Receptor: Molecular Signaling and Actions of Nutritional Ligands in Disease Prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
research A Family Business: Stem Cell Progeny Join the Niche to Regulate Homeostasis

TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Timing of Expression of the Core Clock Gene Bmal1 Influences Its Effects on Aging and Survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research A Molecular Wound Response Program Associated With Regeneration Initiation in Planarians
Planarian regeneration begins with a specific gene activation caused by injury, essential for healing and tissue regrowth.
research Stem Cell Dynamics, Migration, and Plasticity During Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Sex Differences in the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis’ Response to Stress: An Important Role for Gonadal Hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
