research The Rho GTPase Exchange Factor Vav2 Promotes Extensive Age-Dependent Rewiring of the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research Granulomatous Scarring Alopecia Associated With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report
A woman with rheumatoid arthritis had a unique type of scarring hair loss not caused by infection, requiring early treatment to avoid permanent hair loss.
research Dermoscopic Features in Cicatricial and Non-Cicatricial Alopecia
Dermoscopy helps diagnose different types of hair loss and may reduce the need for biopsies.
research IL-17 Axis Is a Significant Driver of Skin Inflammation in CARD14 Mutant Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris Model Mice
Blocking IL-17 can reduce skin inflammation in a mouse model of pityriasis rubra pilaris.
research Nestin as a Marker of Unipotent Epithelial Progenitor Cells Differentiating into Outer Root Sheath Keratinocytes in Embryonic and Adult Hair Follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research Nestin as a Marker of Unipotent Epithelial Progenitor Cell Differentiation into Outer Root Sheath Keratinocytes in Embryonic and Adult Hair Follicles
Nestin marks cells that can become a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles of both developing and adult mice.
research Pathogenesis and Clinical Features of Alopecia in Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Systematic Review
Alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa varies in severity and is often caused by skin blistering or trauma.
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 Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research The Itchy Scalp: An Overview of Scalp Pruritus and Its Management
Up to half of people experience itchy scalp, often due to skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, and treatments vary based on the specific cause.
research Stem Cells Sheltered from Air-Raids Repair Airways
Myoepithelial cells can repair airways after severe injury.
research Central Frontoparietal Band-Like Alopecia in a 40-Year-Old Woman
A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.
research Oncogenes and Morphogens: Intricacies of Targeted Therapy in Cutaneous Basal Cell Carcinoma
Targeted therapy for skin cancer is complex due to the role of the hedgehog pathway in both cancer and hair growth.
research Multi-Dermatomal Unilateral Nevus Comedonicus Along the Lines of Blaschko: A Rare Presentation
A rare skin disorder, nevus comedonicus, can appear on one side of the body following Blaschko's lines.
research Editors' Picks
Activin increases skin tumor formation, skin Tregs help hair growth, lymph-node removal doesn't improve melanoma survival, cells can revert to stem cells in wound healing, and skin bacteria produce peptides that may treat infections.
research Abstract 82
Fetal scalp cells have more regenerative genes than adult cells, and decellularized muscle matrix is better for muscle repair than commercial alternatives.
research Whisker Follicles Transplanted to the Spine of Nude Mice for Spinal Cord Repair Generate Extensive Ectopic Hair Growth
Transplanted whisker follicles caused hair growth on the spine of mice.
research Changing Faces: Can a New Identity Stop Balding?
Changing hair follicle identity could potentially reverse balding.
research Redox-Directed Interventions Targeting Skin Photodamage
Some treatments can improve skin's defense against damage, but overuse may cause other skin problems.
research The Dark and the Bright Sides of the Transcription Factor Nrf2 in Skin Protection and Disease
Nrf2 helps protect skin from damage but too much can cause skin problems.
research Sirtuins Pathways and Redox Homeostasis: A Pilot Study on Young and Old Monozygotic Twins
The study suggests that higher levels of SIRT1 and SIRT2 may improve overall cell health and aging processes.
research Folliculocentric Papules and Alopecia in a 70-Year-Old Woman Diagnosed with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome
A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.
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 Contents
Hair disorders need a holistic approach, including medical, cosmetic, and psychological support.
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 Editors' Picks
Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.
research The Role of Integrin AlphaVbeta6 in Impaired Wound Healing and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Integrin alphavbeta6 is important for wound healing and hair growth, and blocking it may improve these processes.
research Wnt-Dependent De Novo Hair Follicle Regeneration in Adult Mouse Skin After Wounding
Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.
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.
