research A Primer for Studying Cell Cycle Dynamics of the Human Hair Follicle
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle cell cycles is crucial for hair growth and alopecia research, and recommends specific techniques and future research directions.
research Dermal Fibroblast Expression of LEF1 Is Critical to Normal Skin and Hair Development and Regenerative Wound Healing in Mice
Lef1 is essential for normal skin, hair growth, and healing wounds in mice.
research Connecting Signaling Dynamics With Cell Fates In Live Mice
Stem cells control their future role by changing ERK signal timing, affecting tissue regeneration and cancer.
research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed Through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
research Tailored Chromatin Modulation to Promote Tissue Regeneration
Understanding and manipulating epigenetic changes can potentially lead to human organ regeneration therapies, but more research is needed to improve these methods and minimize risks.
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.
research Epigenetic Control of Adult Stem Cell Function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Identifying Molecular Targets for Reverse Aging Using Integrated Network Analysis of Transcriptomic and Epigenomic Changes During Aging
Curcumin may help reverse aging by targeting specific genes.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS in teenagers is difficult and should focus on specific hormone levels and menstrual irregularities, while also considering treatment for symptoms and related health issues.
research Independent Genomewide Screens Identify the Tumor Suppressor VTRNA2-1 as a Human Epiallele Responsive to Periconceptional Environment
The environment around the time of conception can change the VTRNA2-1 gene in a way that lasts for years and may affect disease risk.
research Reshaped DNA Methylation Cooperating with Homoeolog-Divergent Expression Promotes Improved Root Traits in Synthesized Tetraploid Wheat
DNA changes in tetraploid wheat improve root growth and nitrogen use.
research Altered Methylation Pattern of the SRD5A2 Gene in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Post-Finasteride Patients: A Pilot Study
Finasteride affects SRD5A2 gene pattern, possibly causing lasting side effects.
research Integument Pattern Formation Involves Genetic and Epigenetic Controls: Feather Arrays Simulated by Digital Hormone Models
Feather patterns form through genetic and epigenetic controls, with cells self-organizing into periodic patterns.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Glucose Metabolism Regulates Expression of Hair-Inductive Genes of Dermal Papilla Spheres via Histone Acetylation
Hair growth genes work better with more glucose due to changes in gene-regulating markers.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research Shushing Down the Epigenetic Landscape Towards Stem Cell Differentiation
The document concludes that pig iPSCs show promise for transplant therapies and the field is advancing in controlling cell behavior for biology and medicine.
research Regulation of Somatic Cell Reprogramming Through Inducible miR-302 Expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research All Roads Lead to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling, Transcription Factor-Mediated, and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Hairless And The Polyamine Putrescine Form A Negative Regulatory Loop In The Epidermis
Hairless protein and putrescine regulate each other, affecting hair growth and skin balance.
research Epigenetic Mechanism of Gtl2-miRNAs Causes the Primitive Sheep Characteristics Found in Purebred Merino Sheep
A special gene region controls the re-emergence of a primitive wool type in Merino sheep, improving their wool yield and adaptability.
research Management of a Refractory EIF3E-RSPO2 Fusion Positive Pilomatrical Cancer Patient with Encyclopedic Tumor Analysis Guided Treatment
