The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Complex Hair Cycle Domain Patterns and Regenerative Hair Waves in Living Rodents
Mice hair growth patterns get more complex with age and can change with events like pregnancy or injury.
research Control of Hair Follicle Cell Fate by Underlying Mesenchyme Through a CSL–Wnt5a–FoxN1 Regulatory Axis
Notch/CSL signaling controls hair follicle differentiation through Wnt5a and FoxN1.
research Stratum Corneum Dysfunction in Dandruff
Improving skin barrier and using antifungal treatments can help manage dandruff.
research Learning From Nudity: Lessons From The Nude Phenotype
