May 2021 in “Cell Host & Microbe” Skin bacteria, specifically Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, help in hair regrowth after skin injury and speed up wound healing.
14 citations,
March 2016 in “Mechanisms of Development” Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
3 citations,
June 2022 in “Cells” The conclusion is that the new method makes collecting cells from plucked hair to create stem cells more efficient and less invasive.
53 citations,
April 2021 in “Cell Host & Microbe” Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
18 citations,
October 2021 in “Frontiers in Physiology” Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
11 citations,
June 2016 in “npj Regenerative Medicine” The symposium concluded that understanding how different species repair tissue and how this changes with age can help advance regenerative medicine.
February 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
