research Activin B Promotes Initiation and Development of Hair Follicles in Mice
Activin B helps start and grow hair follicles in mice.
research Fate of Prominin-1 Expressing Dermal Papilla Cells During Homeostasis, Wound Healing, and Wnt Activation
Prominin-1 expressing cells in the dermal papilla help regulate hair follicle size and communication but don't aid in skin repair.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Re-Evaluating Cyclosporine A as a Hair Growth–Promoting Agent in Human Scalp Hair Follicles
Cyclosporine A promotes hair growth and prolongs the active growth phase in human hair follicles, but may work differently than in rodents.
research Staining of Human Skin With RGB Trichrome Unveils a Proteoglycan-Enriched Zone in the Hair Dermal Sheath
A new staining method shows a special area in the hair's skin layer with lots of proteoglycans.
research The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal
Prdm1 is necessary for early whisker development in mice but not for other hair, and its absence changes nerve and brain patterns related to whiskers.
research Hox in the Niche Controls Hair Heterogeneity
Hox genes control hair growth patterns in mammals by regulating stem cell activity in the skin.
research Receptor Activator of NF-κB Stimulates the Proliferation of Epithelial Cells of the Epidermo-Pilosebaceous Unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research The Enhancement of Dermal Papilla Cell Aggregation by Extracellular Matrix Proteins Through Effects on Cell–Substratum Adhesivity and Cell Motility
Skin cell clumping for hair growth is improved by a protein called fibronectin, which helps cells stick and move better.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Small and Large Wounds Reveals the Distinct Spatial Organization of Regenerative Fibroblasts
Different types of skin cells are organized in a special way in large wounds to help with healing and hair growth.
research Destruction of the Arrector Pili Muscle and Fat Infiltration in Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research Rescuing Key Native Traits in Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells for Human Hair Regeneration
Conditioned medium from keratinocytes can improve hair growth potential in cultured dermal papilla cells.
research Characterization of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Alginate Spheres
Alginate spheres help maintain hair growth potential in human cells for hair loss treatment.
research Establishment of Dermal Sheath Cell Line from Cashmere Goat and Characterizing Cytokeratin 13 as Its Novel Biomarker
Scientists created a new cell line from Cashmere goat hair and found that cytokeratin 13 is a unique marker for certain skin cells.
research Hair Regeneration and Rejuvenation: Pipeline of Medical and Technical Strategies
New treatments are needed for hair loss, and cell therapies might reverse hair thinning.
research SOX2 in the Skin: Roles in Biology and Pathology
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research A Human Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas Reveals Immune Cell Regulation of Skin Morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Hair and Nails: Insights from 2009 Studies
Low-dose acitretin helps nail psoriasis, stem cells may treat scarring alopecia, Chinese men have lower baldness rates, lateral foldplasty is good for ingrown toenails, hair diameter helps diagnose female baldness, childhood trauma linked to alopecia areata, certain hair-weaving leads to scalp conditions in African American women, and new methods for hair research and understanding hair and sweat gland development were introduced.
research In This Issue
Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Mechanisms and Progression
Androgenetic alopecia causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to androgens, with the connection between the muscle and hair follicle determining if the loss is reversible.
research Alopecia Areata: Animal Models Illuminate Autoimmune Pathogenesis and Novel Immunotherapeutic Strategies
Animal models have helped understand hair loss from alopecia areata and find new treatments.
research Experimental and Early Investigational Drugs for Androgenetic Alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Updates in the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, linked to genetic factors and immune system issues, with no cure yet.
research Enhanced Expansion and Sustained Inductive Function of Skin-Derived Precursor Cells in Computer-Controlled Stirred Suspension Bioreactors
Using bioreactors, scientists can grow more skin stem cells that keep their ability to regenerate skin and hair.
research Dermal Niche Signaling and Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Regenerating the Skin: A Task for the Heterogeneous Stem Cell Pool and Surrounding Niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research The Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is likely caused by a combination of genetic factors and immune system dysfunction, and may represent different diseases with various causes.
research Stress-Related Skin Disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
