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 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 Dissecting the Impact of Chemotherapy on the Human Hair Follicle
Chemotherapy damages hair follicles, causing hair loss and other cellular changes.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
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 Roles of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Epidermal and Hair Follicle Development, Homeostasis, and Cancer
The Hedgehog signaling pathway is important for skin and hair growth and can lead to cancer if it doesn't work right.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability During Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Human Hair Shaft Proteomic Profiling: Individual Differences, Site Specificity, And Cuticle Analysis
Human hair proteins vary by individual, body site, and ethnicity, useful for forensics.
research Emerging Nonmetabolic Functions of Skin Fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Notch Signaling Regulates Late-Stage Epidermal Differentiation and Maintains Postnatal Hair Cycle Homeostasis
Notch signaling is essential for healthy skin and hair follicle maintenance.
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 Bi-Allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Clock Genes, Hair Growth, and Aging
Circadian clock genes are important for hair growth and may affect aging-related hair loss and graying.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research The Mineralocorticoid Receptor as a Novel Player in Skin Biology: Beyond the Renal Horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Gab1 and MAPK Signaling Are Essential in the Hair Cycle and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence
Gab1 protein is crucial for hair growth and stem cell renewal, and Mapk signaling helps maintain these processes.
research Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and the PTH Receptor Regulate Angiogenesis of the Skin
PTHrP and its receptor can control blood vessel growth and hair development in mouse skin.
research Shampoos, Conditioners, and Camouflage Techniques
Cosmetic hair products are important for hiding hair loss and improving satisfaction when combined with medical treatments.
