research A Two-Phase Model of Skin Epidermal Stratification: Lessons from Centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Molecular Basis of Maintaining Circannual Rhythm in the Skin of Cashmere Goat
Goat skin changes with the seasons due to genes affected by daylight and hormones.
research Rac-Dependent Signaling from Keratinocytes Promotes Differentiation of Intradermal White Adipocytes
Signals from skin cells controlled by Rac proteins help turn certain precursor cells into white fat cells.
research Biocompatibility Of Kaps-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research The G-Protein Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Sparse Haplotype-Based Fine-Scale Local Ancestry Inference at Scale Reveals Recent Selection on Immune Responses
Recent selection on immune response genes was identified across seven ethnicities.

Tandem repeats significantly influence hair color, especially darker shades, across different ancestries.
research Sphingolipid Metabolism Orchestrates the Establishment of the Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche to Control Skin Homeostasis
A specific enzyme is essential for proper hair follicle stem cell development and healthy skin.
research Integrated-Omics Profiling Unveils the Disparities of Host Defense to ECM Scaffolds During Wound Healing in Aged Individuals
Aged individuals heal wounds less effectively due to specific immune cell issues.
research Molecular Heterogeneity of Quiescent Melanocyte Stem Cells Revealed by Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing

research AP-2α/AP-2β Transcription Factors Are Key Regulators of Epidermal Homeostasis
AP-2α and AP-2β proteins are essential for healthy adult skin and hair.
research Regulation of Adipocyte Dedifferentiation at the Skin Wound Edge
Adipocytes can change into fibroblast-like cells to help with wound healing.
research Disrupted Cholesterol Biosynthesis and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Impairment in the Onset of Alopecia
Disrupted cholesterol production impairs hair follicle stem cells, leading to hair loss.
research Scarring Hair Follicle Destruction Is Driven by the Collapse of EGFR-Protected JAK-STAT1-Sensitive Stem Cell Immune Privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research A Human Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas Reveals Immune Cell Regulation of Skin Morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Identification of an Osteopontin-Derived Peptide That Binds Neuropilin-1 and Activates Vascular Cells
FOL-026 peptide can help repair blood vessels and promote growth, offering potential treatment for vascular diseases.
research Stabilization of Epithelial Beta-Catenin Compromises Mammary Cell Fate Acquisition and Branching Morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research Mesenchyme Governs Hair Follicle Induction
The mesenchyme can start hair growth, but the exact signal that causes this is still unknown.
research MicroRNA-205 Promotes Hair Regeneration by Modulating Mechanical Properties of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
MicroRNA-205 helps hair grow by changing the stiffness and contraction of hair follicle cells.

The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research Proteins Observed in Scalp Hair from Preschool Children
Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Distinct Tooth Regeneration Systems Deploy a Conserved Battery of Genes
Different fish use the same genes to regrow teeth.
research Stabilization of Beta-Catenin Promotes Melanocyte Specification at the Expense of the Schwann Cell Lineage
