MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research Esrp1-Regulated Splicing of Arhgef11 Isoforms Is Required for Epithelial Tight Junction Integrity
The study concluded that specific proteins are necessary to maintain the structure that holds epithelial cells tightly together.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Progressive Expression of PPARGC1α Is Associated with Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research The Rho Guanosine Nucleotide Exchange Factors Vav2 And Vav3 Modulate Epidermal Stem Cell Function

The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Safety and Efficacy of the JAK Inhibitor Tofacitinib Citrate in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Tofacitinib is safe and effective for severe alopecia areata, but hair loss may return 2 months after stopping treatment.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
