research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research Foxp3 Post-Translational Modifications and Treg Suppressive Activity
Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Inducible Deletion of Epidermal Dicer and Drosha Reveals Multiple Functions for miRNAs in Postnatal Skin
Drosha and Dicer are essential for hair follicle health and preventing DNA damage in skin cells.
research Neurosteroids, Neuroactive Steroids, and Symptoms of Affective Disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies a New Locus JMJD1C at 10q21 That May Influence Serum Androgen Levels in Men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research SHISA6 Confers Resistance to Differentiation-Promoting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Mouse Spermatogenic Stem Cells
SHISA6 helps maintain certain stem cells in mouse testes by blocking signals that would otherwise cause them to differentiate.
research Adipocytes in Skin Health and Disease
Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Ablation of the NF-κB Regulatory Protein A20 (TNFAIP3) Reveals a Role in the Control of Epidermal Homeostasis
A20 protein is crucial for normal skin and hair development.
research Stem Cells and the Circadian Clock
The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
research Hair Follicles’ Transit-Amplifying Cells Govern Concurrent Dermal Adipocyte Production Through Sonic Hedgehog
Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
research Regenerative Hair Waves in Aging Mice and Extra-Follicular Modulators Follistatin, Dkk1, and Sfrp4
Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
research Therapeutic Strategy for Hair Regeneration: Hair Cycle Activation, Niche Environment Modulation, Wound-Induced Follicle Neogenesis, and Stem Cell Engineering
The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Tamsulosin Treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Risk of Severe Hypotension in Men Aged 40-85 Years in the United States: Risk Window Analyses Using Between and Within Patient Methodology
Tamsulosin for enlarged prostate may increase the risk of severe low blood pressure, especially when starting or restarting the medication.
research Replicative Stress, Stem Cells, and Aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research FOXN1: A Master Regulator Gene of Thymic Epithelial Development Program
The FOXN1 gene is crucial for developing immune cells and preventing immune disorders.
research Genetic Interplays Between Msx2 And Foxn1 Are Required For Notch1 Expression And Hair Shaft Differentiation
Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.
research From Neural Crest Cells to Melanocytes: Cellular Plasticity During Development and Beyond
Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions During Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
