research Faculty Opinions Recommendation of Bald Scalp in Men With Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells
Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed for hair growth.
research Faculty Opinions Recommendation of Bald Scalp in Men With Androgenetic Alopecia Retains Hair Follicle Stem Cells but Lacks CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells
Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed to grow hair.
research Epidermal Stem Cell Diversity and Quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Epidermal Development in Mammals: Key Regulators, Signals from Beneath, and Stem Cells
Skin development in mammals is controlled by key proteins and signals from underlying cells, involving stem cells for maintenance and repair.
research CBL1-CIPK26-Mediated Phosphorylation Enhances Activity of the NADPH Oxidase RBOHC, but Is Dispensable for Root Hair Growth
A specific protein complex increases the activity of a plant enzyme, but this action is not required for plant root hair growth.
research Emerging Roles of Transit-Amplifying Cells in Tissue Regeneration and Cancer
Transit-amplifying cells are crucial for tissue repair and can contribute to cancer when they malfunction.
research Nature-Derived Lignan Compound VB-1 Exerts Hair Growth-Promoting Effects by Augmenting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
VB-1, a natural compound, may promote hair growth by enhancing a key cell growth pathway.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
research Expansion Culture of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Through Uniform Aggregation in Microwell Array Devices
The new microwell device helps grow more hair stem cells that can regenerate hair.
research TERT/BMI1-Transgenic Human Dermal Papilla Cells Enhance Murine Hair Follicle Formation In Vivo
Adding TERT and BMI1 to certain skin cells can improve their ability to create hair follicles in mice.
research IPSC-Based Approach for Human Hair Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that using stem cells to regenerate hair follicles could be a promising treatment for hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome before it can be used clinically.
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 Investigation of the Molecular Identity of the Junctional Zone in Human Skin
GATA6 is important for maintaining and differentiating cells in a key area of human skin.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Cells, Growth Factors and Biomaterials Used in Tissue Engineering for Hair Follicles Regeneration
Advancements in tissue engineering show promise for hair follicle regeneration to treat hair loss.
research Biochemistry of Epidermal Stem Cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Isolating Subpopulations of Human Epidermal Basal Cells Based on Polyclonal Serum Against Trypsin-Resistant CSPG4 Epitopes
The research found a way to identify and study skin cells with stem cell traits, revealing they behave differently in culture and questioning current stemness assessment methods.
research Human Scalp Skin as an Abundant and Accessible Source for Eccrine Sweat Gland Isolation and Organ Culture
Researchers found a new way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp for study and culture.
research Reprogramming Adult Dermis to a Neonatal State Through Epidermal Activation of Beta-Catenin
Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Ligand-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor: More Questions Than Answers
The vitamin D receptor can act without its usual activating molecule, affecting hair growth and skin cancer, but its full range of actions is not well understood.
research Mackerel Fermented Fish Oil Suppresses Human Keratinocyte Damage Caused by Ultraviolet B Radiation
