research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research RANK as a Therapeutic Target in Cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research The Bright Side of Fibroblasts: Molecular Signature and Regenerative Cues in Major Organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Evaluating Hair Growth Promoting Effects of Candidate Substances: A Review of Research Methods

research Developing Stratified Epithelia: Lessons from the Epidermis and Thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Harnessing Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression: A New Therapeutic Strategy for Skin Diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Fisetin Promotes Hair Growth by Augmenting TERT Expression
Fisetin, a type of polyphenol, may help hair grow by increasing certain protein activities in cells.
research The Use of Polyethylenimine–DNA to Topically Deliver hTERT to Promote Hair Growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research Human Fetal Scalp Dermal Papilla Enriched Genes and the Role of R-Spondin-1 in the Restoration of Hair Neogenesis in Adult Mouse Cells
Certain genes are more active in baby scalp cells and can help grow hair when added to adult mouse skin cells.
research Keratin Function and Regulation in Tissue Homeostasis and Pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
research Highly Upregulated Lhx2 in the Foxn1−/− Nude Mouse Phenotype Reflects a Dysregulated and Expanded Epidermal Stem Cell Niche
The Foxn1(-/-) nude mouse shows disrupted and expanded skin stem cell areas due to high Lhx2 levels.
research Follicular Induction and CK20+ Merkel Cells Overlying Cutaneous Focal Mucinosis
Some skin growths with mucin can form hair follicles and resemble skin cancer, but a special stain can help tell them apart.
research Efficacy and Safety Evaluations of Topical Proretinal Nanoparticles
Proretinal nanoparticles are a safe and effective way to deliver retinal to the skin.
research Exosomes Derived from Fisetin-Treated Keratinocytes Mediate Hair Growth Promotion
Fisetin in fruits and vegetables helps hair growth in mice.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, Which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research Hair Growth Induction: Roles of Growth Factors
EGF and FGF help hair growth by affecting cell differentiation and fiber growth.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Skin and Hair: Models for Exploring Organ Regeneration
