research Cosmetics, Hair, And Nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
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.

Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Oxidative Stress in Aging of Hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Nutrition and Hair: The Role of Nutrients in Hair Health
Eating the right nutrients can improve hair health, but taking extra supplements usually doesn't help unless you have a deficiency.
research Inherited Ichthyoses: Generalized Mendelian Disorders of Cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber
Hair shedding is an active process that could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Reversing Wrinkled Skin and Hair Loss in Mice by Restoring Mitochondrial Function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research MicroRNA/mRNA Regulatory Networks in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
MicroRNAs are crucial for controlling skin development and healing by regulating genes.
research RANK as a Therapeutic Target in Cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research Spontaneous Hair Follicle Germ Formation In Vitro, Enabling The Large-Scale Production Of HFGs For Regenerative Medicine
Researchers found a new way to create hair-growing structures in the lab that can grow hair when put into mice.
research Endogenous Human Skin Equivalent Promotes In Vitro Morphogenesis of Follicle-Like Structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research Integral Hair Lipid in Human Hair Follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.

Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and might help treat skin diseases, but more research is needed to understand their effects fully.
research Keratin and Skin Disorders
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling by EGF Receptor Is Required for Hair Follicle Development
Blocking Wnt/β-catenin signaling with EGF receptor is necessary for proper hair growth.
research Comparisons of Mouse Models for Hair Follicle Reconstitution
The flap assay grows the most natural hair but takes the longest, the chamber assay is hard work but gives dense, normal hair, and the patch assay is quick but creates poorly oriented hair with some issues.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
