research Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha Immunoreactivity During Induced Hair Follicle Growth Cycles in Sheep and Ferrets
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Human Pilosebaceous Culture
Hair follicle cells can help heal wounds and study skin diseases.
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 Scratching the Surface of Skin Development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Meis1 Regulates Epidermal Stem Cells and Is Required for Skin Tumorigenesis

research Structural and Biochemical Changes Underlying a Keratoderma-Like Phenotype in Mice Lacking Suprabasal AP1 Transcription Factor Function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research A Two-Phase Model of Skin Epidermal Stratification: Lessons from Centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) Regulation of Skin Homeostasis Wanes With Age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Planar Cell Polarity Effector Gene Intu Regulates Cell Fate-Specific Differentiation of Keratinocytes Through the Primary Cilia
Intu gene is crucial for hair follicle formation by helping keratinocytes differentiate through primary cilia.
research Overexpression of Activin A in the Skin of Transgenic Mice Reveals New Activities in Epidermal Morphogenesis, Dermal Fibrosis, and Wound Repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins and Their Antagonists in Skin and Hair Follicle Biology
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) help control skin health, hair growth, and color, and could potentially be used to treat skin and hair disorders.
research Significance of the S100A4 Protein in Psoriasis
The S100A4 protein is more common in psoriatic skin and could be a target for treating psoriasis.
research Reduced Cell Cohesiveness of Outgrowths from Eccrine Sweat Glands Delays Wound Closure in Elderly Skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
research Differential Activity of 2-Methylene-19-Nor Vitamin D Analogs on Growth Factor Gene Expression in Rhino Mouse Skin and Comparison to All-Trans Retinoic Acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research Resolution of Plantar Hyperkeratosis of Pachyonychia Congenita During Chemotherapy for Ewing Sarcoma
Chemotherapy improved a girl's painful foot condition linked to pachyonychia congenita.
research Chromatin Architectural Protein CTCF Controls Epidermal Barrier Formation, Hair Follicle Fate Maintenance, and Suppresses Inflammatory Responses in the Skin Epithelium

research The Rational Role Of Polyamines In Epidermal Differentiation
Adjusting polyamine levels could help treat skin disorders like psoriasis and skin cancer.
research Epidermal Notch Signaling: Differentiation, Cancer, and Adhesion
Notch signalling helps skin cells differentiate and prevents tumors.
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 The Vitamin D Receptor as Tumor Suppressor in Skin
Vitamin D and its receptor may help prevent skin cancer.
research Roles of MED1 in Quiescence of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Maintenance of Normal Hair Cycling
