This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study found that using uniform poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid microspheres to deliver insulin-like growth factor 1 stabilizes the protein and enhances its sustained delivery, supporting stem cell functions comparably to traditional methods, and showing potential for tissue and organ regeneration.

This study identified two high sulfur protein genes, B2E and B2F, in rats, which are expressed in hair cortical cells during anagen and contribute to hair fiber production.

This study found that three sessions of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF+) significantly improved hair follicle density, hair volume, and thickness, as well as patient satisfaction in women with female pattern hair loss, with only minor self-limited adverse effects reported.

WIF1 helps keep skin stem cells inactive to prevent excessive cell growth.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This study found that VEGFR-2 activation may play a role in hair follicle differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis by co-expressing with several key proteins in normal human scalp skin.

This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.

This study found that treatment with EGFR inhibitors or mitogen-activated kinase inhibitors may compromise the immune privilege of human scalp hair follicles, suggesting new directions for managing drug-induced folliculitis.

In this study, rhKGF2 significantly promoted hair regeneration and enhanced the formation and maturation of hair follicles in experimental bald rats, suggesting potential clinical application.

In this study, injecting Fetuin A into embryonic mouse wounds led to scar formation, suggesting the protein may play a role in scar development by promoting collagen production.

This study found that irisin, a myokine, increases hair growth by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, enhancing cell proliferation and hair shaft elongation in both human cell and mouse models.

This study observed that the Hedgehog-GLI1 signaling pathway is upregulated in keloid patient–derived stem cells, and inhibiting this pathway reduced keloid characteristics in both mice and ex vivo tissue cultures, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for keloid treatment.

This study found that the LEF-1 binding site acts as an enhancer element for the wool keratin intermediate filament gene promoter in hair follicle cortex, with specificity regulated by additional factors.

This review discusses the role of intermediate filaments in cell signaling and differentiation, emphasizing their impact on stem cell function, development, and disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This study isolated and characterized two distinct types of caspase-like proteases from human epidermis, suggesting their involvement in keratinocyte differentiation and apoptosis processes.

This study suggests that radiation-induced changes in FGF18 gene expression in the skin may predict later reductions in bone mass, as observed in irradiated mice.

This study found that a water-soluble peptide from chicken egg yolk, named Hair Growth Peptide, improved hair growth in mice and female pattern hair loss through increased IGF-1 and VEGF production.

This study found that in yak hair follicles, TGF-β2 significantly contributes to the transition from growth to regression phases via inducing apoptosis, whereas HSP70 appears to inhibit follicle regression by protecting epithelial cells from apoptosis.

Sfrp2 increases during hair follicle catagen phase and slows keratinocyte growth.

This study found that the controlled release of specific growth factors from biodegradable hydrogels significantly enhanced hair follicle growth and hair shaft length in mice compared to growth factors in solution.

This study found that fibronectin supports hair follicle regeneration by influencing stem cell behavior through integrin-dependent mechanotransduction, highlighting its potential role in epidermal renewal.

This study reports that overexpression of activin in transgenic mice enhances granulation tissue formation during wound healing, highlighting a novel role for activin in cutaneous repair processes.

This paper proposes that GDNF signaling may enhance skin regeneration and hair follicle formation by influencing dermal fibroblast differentiation, particularly following injury.

Fetuin-A helps wounds heal without scars by promoting cell movement.
