TCDD speeds up skin barrier formation by increasing certain gene expressions.
research A KRT71 Loss-of-Function Variant Results in Inner Root Sheath Dysplasia and Recessive Congenital Hypotrichosis of Hereford Cattle
A specific genetic change in the KRT71 gene causes a hair loss condition in Hereford cattle.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnt Signaling
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Expression Analysis of the Type I Keratin Protein Keratin 33A in Goat Coat Hair
Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis Thaliana Is Directed by Calcium and an Endogenous Polarity
Calcium affects where root hairs grow, but other unknown factors determine their growth direction.
research Thyroid Hormone Action in Epidermal Development and Homeostasis and Its Implications in the Pathophysiology of the Skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
research Planar Cell Polarity-Dependent and Independent Functions in the Emergence of Tissue-Scale Hair Follicle Patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research Filamin A Mediates Wound Closure by Promoting Elastic Deformation and Maintenance of Tension in the Collagen Matrix
Testosterone may worsen hair loss by affecting hair growth signals, while different prostaglandins can either hinder or promote hair growth.
research Defining the Transcriptional Signature of Esophageal-to-Skin Lineage Conversion
Adult esophageal cells can start to become like skin cells, with a key pathway influencing this change.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes for Organ Development and Cell-Free Therapy
MSC-Exos can aid organ development and offer therapeutic benefits for various conditions.
research Culturing of Melanocytes from the Equine Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Researchers successfully grew horse skin cells that produce pigment from hair follicle samples.
research Air Pollution, Autophagy, and Skin Aging: Impact of Particulate Matter on Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Air pollution (PM10) increases skin inflammation and aging by reducing collagen and may trigger a repair response in skin cells.
research Regulation of the Wound Healing Response During Aging
Aging slows wound healing due to weaker cells and immune response.
research Pleiotropic Role of Notch Signaling in Human Skin Diseases
Notch signaling disruptions can cause various skin diseases.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research First Reboxetine Trial Results Reported
Finasteride increased hair count and regrowth in men with hair loss but also caused more sexual side effects than placebo.
research From Structural Resilience to Cell Specification: Intermediate Filaments as Regulators of Cell Fate
Intermediate filaments are crucial for cell differentiation and stem cell function.
research Skin Physiology in Microgravity: A 3-Month Stay Aboard ISS Induces Dermal Atrophy and Affects Cutaneous Muscle and Hair Follicles Cycling in Mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research Arabinogalactan Proteins Are Involved in Root Hair Development in Barley
Certain proteins are essential for the growth of root hairs in barley.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Application of Second Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging to Trace CelTrac1000-Labeled Hair Follicle Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells in Repairing Rat Facial Nerve Defects
NIR-II imaging effectively tracked stem cells that helped repair facial nerve defects in rats.
