research Secretory Phospholipase A2-IIA Overexpressing Mice Exhibit Cyclic Alopecia Mediated Through Aberrant Hair Shaft Differentiation and Impaired Wound Healing Response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Cholesterol Homeostasis: Links to Hair Follicle Biology and Hair Disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Establishment of Keratinocyte Cell Lines from Human Hair Follicles
Scientists created keratinocyte cell lines from human hair that can differentiate similarly to normal skin cells, offering a new way to study skin biology and diseases.
research Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition in Cutaneous Wound Healing: Where We Are and Where We Are Heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Hair Growth Defects in Insig-Deficient Mice Caused by Cholesterol Precursor Accumulation and Reversed by Simvastatin
Mice lacking Insig proteins had hair growth problems due to cholesterol buildup, but this was fixed by the drug simvastatin.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Aberrant Inflammasome Activation as a Driving Force of Human Autoimmune Skin Disease
Faulty inflammasome activation may lead to autoimmune skin diseases and could be a target for new treatments.
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 The Suppression of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Is Associated with Skin Carcinogenesis
Suppressing very long chain fatty acids is linked to skin cancer.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research A Matter of Life and Death: Self-Renewal in Stem Cells
Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholesterolemic Skin Disorders

research Deletion of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-Lineage Mesenchymal Cells Leads to Congenital Truncal Alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
research Genomic and Transcriptomic Characterization of Atypical Recurrent Flank Alopecia in the Cesky Fousek
The study found that the hair loss condition in Cesky Fousek dogs is influenced by multiple genes affecting skin and muscle structure, fat metabolism, and immunity.
research Lipid Signaling in Keratinocytes: Lipin-1 Plays a Part
Lipin-1 is important for skin cell differentiation and skin barrier function.
research Cell Death by Cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Expression and Function of Group IIE Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-IIE is crucial for normal hair follicle structure and skin health.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex: A Paradigm for Disorders of Tissue Fragility
Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
research Mutations in SREBF1, Encoding Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Transcription Factor 1, Cause Autosomal-Dominant IFAP Syndrome
Changes in the SREBF1 gene cause a rare genetic skin and hair disorder.
research Cellular and Metabolic Basis for the Ichthyotic Phenotype in NIPAL4 (Ichthyin)–Deficient Canines
Mutations in NIPAL4 cause skin issues by disrupting lipid layers, but some improvement is seen with topical treatment.
research Nrf2-Mediated Expansion of Pilosebaceous Cells Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing
Activating Nrf2 in skin cells speeds up wound healing by increasing the growth of certain stem cells.
