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 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 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 Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Principles and Mechanisms of Regeneration in the Mouse Model for Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis
Mice can grow new hair follicles after skin wounds through a process not involving existing hair stem cells, but requiring more research to understand fully.
research De Novo Single-Nucleotide and Copy Number Variation in Discordant Monozygotic Twins Reveals Disease-Related Genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Goat Skins Identifies Signatures Associated with Hair Cycling
DNA methylation changes are linked to hair growth cycles in goats.
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 Deciphering Principles of Morphogenesis from Temporal and Spatial Patterns on the Integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Skin in the Game: Stem Cells in Repair, Cancer, and Homeostasis
Elaine Fuchs' research shows how skin stem cells maintain health, aid in healing, and are involved in cancer.
research Dynamics and Epigenetics of the Epidermal Differentiation Complex
Epigenetic mechanisms control skin development by regulating gene expression.
research Montagna Symposium 2015: Harnessing Stem Cells to Reveal Novel Skin Biology and Disease Treatments
The symposium showed that stem cells are key for understanding and treating skin diseases and for developing new skin models and therapies.
research Epigenetics of Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer development involves both genetic changes and epigenetic alterations like DNA methylation and microRNA changes.
research Exploring the Role of MicroRNAs in Alopecia Areata
Certain microRNAs may protect against hair loss in alopecia areata and could be potential treatment targets.
research Identification of Ectodysplasin Target Genes Reveals the Involvement of Chemokines in Hair Development
Chemokine signaling is important for hair development.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia as Model Epithelial Stem Cell Diseases
Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may help us understand hair follicle stem cell disorders and suggest new treatments.
research Curtailing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Review of International Evidence-Based Guidelines and Implications
Lifestyle changes are the main treatment for PCOS, which is a complex condition requiring early management to reduce its health impacts.
research Hair Regeneration Under Stress
Mice can regrow hair on wounds due to specific cell interactions and mechanical forces not seen in rats.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Neural Potential of a Stem Cell Population in the Hair Follicle
Stem cells in hair follicles can become various cell types, including neurons.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
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 Uncharted Waters: The Impact of NGS and Machine Learning on Forensic Science
New DNA analysis and machine learning are advancing forensic science, improving accuracy and expanding into non-human applications.
research Distinct Regulatory Programs Control the Latent Regenerative Potential of Dermal Fibroblasts During Wound Healing
