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 Developing Stratified Epithelia: Lessons from the Epidermis and Thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Imaging Nanoscale Changes in Desmosome Protein Organization
Desmoglein 3 organization in cell connections changes without calcium, affecting cell adhesion.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.
research Using the Frog Embryonic Epidermis as a Model to Study Desmosome Function During Development
Frog skin cells need the protein desmoplakin for proper development and cell layer formation.
research A Spontaneous Deletion Within the Desmoglein 3 Extracellular Domain of Mice Results in Hypomorphic Protein Expression, Immunodeficiency, and a Wasting Disease Phenotype
A gene deletion in mice causes weak protein, immune issues, hair loss, airway problems, and wasting disease.
research Keratin Formation in the Hair Follicle
Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.
research Formation of the Cornified Envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research Biomechanics of Hair Fiber Growth: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research De Novo Filament Formation by Human Hair Keratins K85 and K35 Follows a Filament Development Pattern Distinct from Cytokeratin Filament Networks
Human hair keratins K85 and K35 create unique filament patterns important for early hair formation.
research The Hair Follicle Bulge: A Niche for Adult Stem Cells
The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-Like 3 Expression Causes Widespread Developmental Defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research RPGRIP1L Facilitates Desmosomal Adhesion Through Suppressing PKCβII-Mediated Desmoglein Endocytosis: Implication in Pemphigus
RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.
research Expression of Plectin-1 and Trichohyalin in Human Tongue Cancer Cells
Tongue cancer cells show more plectin-1 than non-cancer cells, but both have similar levels of trichohyalin.
research A Novel Animal Model of Desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) Deficiency Reveals an Essential Role for Dsg1 in Epidermal Barrier Formation
Dsg1 is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier in mice.
research Eph/Ephrin Signaling in Epidermal Differentiation and Disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
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.

A single medium, PRIME AIRLIFT, supports better human hair follicle formation in grafts.
research Individual Variation in Balance Between Platelet-Secreted Growth Factors Causing Contradictory Effects on Hair Follicle Could Potentially Impact Response to PRP Therapy in Patients With Scalp Hair Loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research IL-9 Mediated Human Primary Keratinocytes Invasion Is Dependent on MLC Controlled Contractility and Independent of MMP Activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
