research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines Its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration
The hedgehog signaling pathway is crucial for hair growth but not for the initial creation of hair follicles.
research Cis-Element and Transcriptome-Based Screening of Root Hair-Specific Genes and Their Functional Characterization in Arabidopsis
Researchers found 19 genes important for root hair growth in a plant called Arabidopsis.
research Alopecia Areata Profiling Shows TH1, TH2, and IL-23 Cytokine Activation Without Parallel TH17/TH22 Skewing
Alopecia areata involves immune activation in the scalp, suggesting treatments targeting TH1, TH2, and IL-23 pathways.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
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 Targeting the Janus Kinase Family in Autoimmune Skin Diseases
Janus kinase inhibitors are promising treatments for autoimmune skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.
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 Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
Applying a special compound can promote hair growth without harmful side effects.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation

research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Beyond Acne: Current Aspects of Sebaceous Gland Biology and Function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Fetal Skin Wound Healing
Fetal skin heals without scarring due to unique cells and processes not present in adult skin healing.
research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Adipocytes in Skin Health and Disease
Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
research Stem Cells and the Circadian Clock
The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
