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 The Noggin Null Mouse Phenotype Is Strain Dependent and Haploinsufficiency Leads to Skeletal Defects
Noggin gene inactivation causes skeletal defects in mice, varying by genetic background.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
MED1 is essential for normal hair growth and maintaining hair follicle stem cells.
research The Roles of Activins in Repair Processes of the Skin and the Brain
Activin A helps heal skin wounds and protects the brain after injury.
research A Pair of Transmembrane Receptors Essential for the Retention and Pigmentation of Hair
Bmpr2 and Acvr2a receptors are crucial for hair retention and color.
research Stem Cell Dynamics, Migration, and Plasticity During Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Smad4-Dependent Desmoglein-4 Expression Contributes to Hair Follicle Integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Epidermal Stem Cell Fate: What Can We Learn from Embryonic Stem Cells?
Embryonic and adult stem cells are valuable for improving skin grafts and cell therapy.

research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology: The Role of TRPV1 in Human Hair Growth Control
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Resting No More: Redefining Telogen, the Maintenance Stage of the Hair Growth Cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Growth Factors in Hair Organ Development and the Hair Growth Cycle
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Dynamic Signals for Hair Follicle Development and Regeneration
Certain signals and genes play a key role in hair growth and regeneration, and understanding these could lead to new treatments for skin regeneration.
research Genome-Wide Meta-Analysis Implicates Mediators of Hair Follicle Development and Morphogenesis in Risk for Severe Acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Expression of Foxi3 Is Regulated by Ectodysplasin in Skin Appendage Placodes
Foxi3 expression in developing teeth and hair is controlled by the ectodysplasin pathway.
research Neuroendocrinology of Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Gender Differences in Skin Aging and the Changing Profile of the Sex Hormones with Age
The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.
