September 2016 in “Journal of dermatological science” Epidermal stem cells use integrin β1 and α6 as markers and CD271+ cells help maintain skin health and heal wounds.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The symposium showed that stem cells are key for understanding and treating skin diseases and for developing new skin models and therapies.
August 2015 in “Free Radical Biology and Medicine” Some treatments can improve skin's defense against damage, but overuse may cause other skin problems.
May 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Melanoma risk tools need improvement, a gene mutation causes a hair disorder that might be treated by managing cell stress, a potential therapy for a skin-ear disorder involves blocking cell channels, skin wrinkling may indicate lung aging regardless of smoking, and oxidative stress might contribute to common baldness.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
March 2012 in “Hair transplant forum international” Environmental factors and chemicals might affect hormone balance and contribute to common hair loss.
January 2008 in “Yearbook of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” One type of progenitor cell can maintain normal skin in mice.
The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.
April 2003 in “Experimental Dermatology” The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
May 2022 in “The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology” Metformin reduces certain hormone levels in men with early-onset hair loss.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Arrector pili muscle regulates hair follicle stem cells, DNA methylation needed for hair cycling, and Wnt/B-catenin signaling starts hair growth.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Stem cells can create hair follicles, potentially treating permanent hair loss, and healthy skin and hair depend on mitochondrial function and special fats.
December 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The conclusion is that the dermal papilla is crucial for hair follicle regrowth, and hair follicles undergo significant structural changes in addition to cell division during regeneration.
