research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Microscopical Characterization of Known Postmortem Root Bands Using Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
The research found that postmortem root bands in hair are likely caused by the breakdown of a specific part of the hair's inner structure after death.
research Laminin 332 Is Indispensable for Homeostatic Epidermal Differentiation Programs
Laminin 332 is essential for normal skin cell behavior and structure.
research Investigation Into the Role of HIF-1A Stabilization in Hair Follicle Metabolism
Stabilizing HIF-1A in hair follicles may reduce oxidative stress and promote hair growth by increasing glycolysis.

research Transglutaminase-3 Enzyme: A Putative Actor in Human Hair Shaft Scaffolding?
TGase 3 helps build hair structure by forming strong bonds between proteins.
research Cutaneous Responses to Systemic Iron: A Potential Role for Epidermal Turnover in Mammalian Iron Excretion
Skin may help in getting rid of excess iron through the process of skin cell renewal.
research Flexible Fate Determination Ensures Robust Differentiation in the Skin Hair Follicle
Hair follicle stem cells can change their role to ensure proper hair development.
research In This Issue

research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
