Research
300-330 / 1000+ results research An Extended Epidermal Response Heals Cutaneous Wounds in the Absence of a Hair Follicle Stem Cell Contribution
Skin can heal wounds without hair follicle stem cells, but it takes a bit longer.
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 Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research British Association of Dermatologists Guidelines on the Efficacy and Use of Acitretin in Dermatology
Acitretin is effective for severe skin conditions but has significant side effects and requires careful monitoring.
research Human Hair Derived Keratins Mediate Schwann Cell Behavior In Vitro and Facilitate Rapid Peripheral Nerve Regeneration In Vivo
Human hair keratins help nerve regeneration and support Schwann cell activity.
research Pitx2, A β-Catenin-Regulated Transcription Factor, Regulates The Differentiation Of Outer Root Sheath Cells Cultured In Vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Hair Loss Caused by Gain-of-Function Mutant TRPV3 Is Associated with Premature Differentiation of Follicular Keratinocytes
A gene mutation causes early keratinocyte maturation leading to hair loss in Olmsted syndrome.
research Template for Skin Regeneration
The dermal regeneration template is effective in skin regeneration, reducing scarring, and has potential for future improvements.
research The Expanding Significance of Keratin Intermediate Filaments in Normal and Diseased Epithelia
Keratin proteins are increasingly recognized as important for cell health and are linked to many diseases.
research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
research Early Dengue Virus Infection in Human Skin: A Cycle of Inflammation and Infectivity
Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
The study concluded that PKP1 is essential for skin integrity and hair growth, and its dysfunction causes the symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Keratin 79 Identifies a Novel Population of Migratory Epithelial Cells That Initiates Hair Canal Morphogenesis and Regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research Gene Expression Profile of Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells in Response to Camellia Japonica Phytoplacenta Extract
Camellia japonica extract may improve scalp health and promote hair growth.
research Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Inhibits Skin Renewal Through Inhibiting WNT-Dependent Lgr5+ Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation in C57BL/6 Mice
Type 2 diabetes slows down skin and hair renewal by blocking important stem cell activation in mice.
research Papular Atrichia: A Case Report of an 8-Year-Old Girl
An 8-year-old girl has a rare, irreversible hair loss condition caused by a genetic mutation.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor Under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Distinct Mechanisms for Sebaceous Gland Self-Renewal and Regeneration Provide Durability in Response to Injury
Sebaceous glands can heal and regenerate after injury using their own stem cells and help from hair follicle cells.
research Dysregulation of Grainyhead-Like 3 Expression Causes Widespread Developmental Defects
Not having enough or having too much of the protein Grainyhead-like 3 leads to various developmental problems.
research Mutations in SREBF1, Encoding Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Transcription Factor 1, Cause Autosomal-Dominant IFAP Syndrome
Changes in the SREBF1 gene cause a rare genetic skin and hair disorder.
research The Sheep KAP8-2 Gene, A New KAP8 Family Member That Is Absent In Humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Ectopic Expression of the Nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epidermal Homeostasis in We/We Wal/Wal Mice with Postnatal Alopecia
The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
research Activation of the Integrated Stress Response in Human Hair Follicles
Blocking the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier causes stress in hair follicles, which can be reduced by an ISR inhibitor.
research Possible Relationships Between the Physical Conditions of Cattle and the Occurrence of Structural Modifications of Their Coat Hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Dietary Fat- and Obesity-Sensitive Dermal Adipocyte PKCβ Induction and Inflammation Cross-Talk
Eating a lot of fat increases PKCβ and inflammation in skin fat cells, which affects skin and hair health.
research Skin Cyst: A Pathological Dead-End With a New Twist of Morphogenetic Potentials in Organoid Cultures
Skin cysts might help advance stem cell treatments to repair skin.
