research Treatment of Refractory Vitiligo With a Vellus Hair Punch Graft
A new surgical technique using vellus hair grafts effectively treated vitiligo without causing unwanted hair growth.
research Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a key method for dermatologists to quickly and effectively diagnose hair and scalp conditions.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Stress-Induced Chemokine Production by Hair Follicles Recruits Dendritic Cells to Sites of Minor Trauma
Hair follicles help attract immune cells to minor skin injuries.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
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 Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Learning From Nudity: Lessons From The Nude Phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
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 New Hair From Healing Wounds
Adult mice can grow new hair from skin wounds.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Eph/Ephrin Signaling in Epidermal Differentiation and Disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Mechanism of TAp73 Inhibition by ΔNp63 and Structural Basis of p63/p73 Hetero-Tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research Dormancy in the Stem Cell Niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Keratinocyte-Derived Follistatin Regulates Epidermal Homeostasis and Wound Repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
research A Function for Rac1 in the Terminal Differentiation and Pigmentation of Hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
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 Alpha-Parvin Is Required for Epidermal Morphogenesis, Hair Follicle Development, and Basal Keratinocyte Polarity
α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
research Skin Biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research Lineage Potential, Plasticity, and Environmental Reprogramming of Epithelial Stem/Progenitor Cells
Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Biology of Melanocytes in Mammals
Melanocytes are important for skin and hair color and protect the skin from UV damage.
research Cutaneous Distribution of Orally Administered Itraconazole in Guinea Pigs Studied by Autoradiography
Oral itraconazole effectively reaches and treats deep skin layers in guinea pigs.
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Genetic Basis Underlying the Development of Skin Appendages and Immunity in Hedgehog (Atelerix Albiventris)
Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Mapping the Molecular and Structural Specialization of the Skin Basement Membrane for Inter-Tissue Interactions
The skin's basement membrane is specially designed to support different types of connections between skin layers and hair follicles.
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.
