Research
120-150 / 1000+ results research Developmental Timing of Hair Follicle and Dorsal Skin Innervation in Mice
Nerve growth in mouse skin and hair follicles happens in stages and is closely linked to hair development.
research Specific Receptor Detection by a Functional Keratinocyte Growth Factor-Immunoglobulin Chimera
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Murine Skin as a Target for Melatonin Bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.
research Burn Reconstruction: The Problems, Techniques, and Applications
Burn reconstruction improves with new techniques, materials, and tissue engineering.
research Mucocutaneous Side Effects of Antineoplastic Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy often causes hair loss, nail changes, and mouth issues, but these are usually manageable.
research Relation of Skin Polyamines to the Hairless Phenotype in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase
Excessive putrescine causes hair loss in transgenic mice by disrupting hair follicle development.
research The Developmental Basis of Fingerprint Pattern Formation and Variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research Localization of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 2 in Hair and Nail: Implications for Terminal Differentiation
PAI-2 helps in the maturation and protection of hair and nail cells.
research In Vivo Expansion and Regeneration of Full-Thickness Functional Skin with an Autologous Homologous Skin Construct: Clinical Proof of Concept for Chronic Wound Healing
A new skin treatment using a patient's own cells healed chronic wounds effectively and was preferred over traditional grafts.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: An Update on the Hypothesis of Pathogenesis and Treatment
The document concluded that more research is needed to find the best treatment for Frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Epigenetic Control of Skin and Hair Regeneration After Wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Increased Vibrissa Growth in Transgenic Mice Expressing Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
IGF-1 increases whisker growth in transgenic mice.
research Fibromodulin Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors During Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
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 Expression of Morphogens During Human Follicle Development In Vivo and a Model for Studying Follicle Morphogenesis In Vitro
Hair follicle development involves complex interactions between skin layers and cells, but many details are still unknown.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Hair Curvature: A Natural Dialectic and Review
The document concludes that hair curvature can be explained by the growth patterns caused by the shape and separation of cells in the hair follicle and is affected by specific molecular pathways.
research Developing Stratified Epithelia: Lessons from the Epidermis and Thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Histone H3 K4/9/27 Trimethylation Levels Affect Wound Healing and Stem Cell Dynamics in Adult Skin
Proper tissue repair in adult skin requires specific histone hypomethylation.
research An Update of the Pathogenesis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: What Does the Current Evidence Tell Us?
