research Localization of Members of the Notch System and the Differentiation of Vibrissa Hair Follicles: Receptors, Ligands, and Fringe Modulators
Notch-related genes play a key role in the development and cycling of hair follicles.
research α3β1-Integrin Regulates Hair Follicle But Not Interfollicular Morphogenesis in Adult Epidermis
α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle shape and function but not needed for the development of the surrounding skin.
research EGFR Controls Hair Shaft Differentiation in a p53-Independent Manner
EGFR helps control how hair grows and forms without needing p53 protein.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Targeting mTORC1 May Provide Selectivity for Inhibiting Proliferation of Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells During Tumor Promotion
Blocking mTORC1 may help prevent skin cancer by stopping the growth of certain skin stem cells.
research The Human Hair Follicle: A Reservoir of CD40+ B7-Deficient Langerhans Cells That Repopulate Epidermis After UVB Exposure
Hair follicles help skin immune recovery after UVB exposure.
research Runx3 Is Involved in Hair Shape Determination
Runx3 helps determine hair shape.
research Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Integrin α3β1 in Hair Bulge Stem Cells Modulates CCN2 Expression and Promotes Skin Tumorigenesis
Removing integrin α3β1 from hair stem cells lowers skin tumor growth by affecting CCN2 protein levels.
research Icariin Promotes Mouse Hair Follicle Growth by Increasing Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 Expression in Dermal Papillary Cells
Icariin helps mouse hair grow by boosting a growth factor in skin cells.
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 Establishment of Dermal Sheath Cell Line from Cashmere Goat and Characterizing Cytokeratin 13 as Its Novel Biomarker
Scientists created a new cell line from Cashmere goat hair and found that cytokeratin 13 is a unique marker for certain skin cells.
research Editors' Picks
Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Beyond Goosebumps: Does the Arrector Pili Muscle Have a Role in Hair Loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research Smad4-Dependent Desmoglein-4 Expression Contributes to Hair Follicle Integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Microbiome in the Hair Follicle of Androgenetic Alopecia Patients
Hair loss patients have different microbes in hair follicles, possibly affecting hair loss.
research Effects of Imiquimod on Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Hair Cycle Progression
Imiquimod cream activates hair follicle stem cells and causes early hair growth by changing immune cells and certain protein expressions.
research GPR39 Marks Specific Cells Within the Sebaceous Gland and Contributes to Skin Wound Healing
GPR39 is linked to certain cells in the sebaceous gland and helps with skin healing.
research A Comparison of Transcriptomic Patterns Measured in the Skin of Chinese Fine and Coarse Wool Sheep Breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
