research Shh Maintains Dermal Papilla Identity and Hair Morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh Regulatory Loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Classification and Management of Skin, Hair, Nail, and Mucosal Side Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors
EGFR inhibitors often cause skin problems and other side effects, but these are usually reversible and can be managed to keep patients comfortable.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research The Mesenchymal Component of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: Background, Methods, and Molecular Characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
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 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 Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Oxidative Stress in Aging of Hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
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 Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research The Hair Cycle of the Mouse and Its Importance in the Study of Sequences of Experimental Carcinogenesis
