research Non-Apoptotic Role for Caspase-7 in Hair Follicles and Surrounding Tissue
Caspase-7 has functions in skin and hair that are not related to cell death.
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 Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Alk1 Acts in Non-Endothelial VE-Cadherin+ Perineurial Cells to Maintain Nerve Branching During Hair Homeostasis
Alk1 in specific cells is crucial for proper nerve branching and hair function.
research Photosensory Function, Reception, and Response in Human Skin
Human skin responds to light with protective mechanisms, but more research is needed to understand these processes and their implications for health and therapy.
research Developmental Mechanisms Controlling Cell Fate Evolution
The conclusion is that grasping how cells determine their roles through evolution is key, with expected progress from new research models and genome editing.
research Modulating the Stem Cell Niche for Tissue Regeneration
Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
research Molecular Mechanisms Responsible for Therapeutic Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Secretome
The secretome from mesenchymal stem cells is a promising treatment that may repair tissue and avoid side effects of stem cell transplantation.
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 The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research The Mesenchymal Component of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: Background, Methods, and Molecular Characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Fetal Skin Wound Healing
Fetal skin heals without scarring due to unique cells and processes not present in adult skin healing.
research Concise Review: Tissue-Engineered Skin and Nerve Regeneration in Burn Treatment
New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication Through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone: A New Player in Human Hair Growth Control
TRH stimulates human hair growth and extends the hair growth phase.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Multi-Layered Environmental Regulation on the Homeostasis of Stem Cells: The Saga of Hair Growth and Alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research Transformation of Amnion Epithelium into Skin and Hair Follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
