Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.
research Comparative Regenerative Biology of Spiny (Acomys Cahirinus) and Laboratory (Mus Musculus) Mouse Skin
Spiny mice are better at regenerating hair after injury than laboratory mice and could help us understand how to improve human skin repair.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research Increased Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Is Dispensable in Squamous Carcinoma Cells of Origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.
research Endogenous Human Skin Equivalent Promotes In Vitro Morphogenesis of Follicle-Like Structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research The Mesenchymal Niche of the Hair Follicle Induces Regeneration by Releasing Primed Progenitors from Inhibitory Effects of Quiescent Stem Cells
The study found that a specific area of the hair follicle helps start hair growth by reducing the blocking effects on certain cells and controlling growth signals.
research Influence of Feed Restriction on the Wool Proteome: A Combined iTRAQ and Fiber Structural Study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research CD98hc (SLC3A2) Regulation of Skin Homeostasis Wanes With Age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Two Hypomorphic Alleles of Mouse Ass1 as a New Animal Model of Citrullinemia Type I and Other Hyperammonemic Syndromes
Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Adult Epidermal Notch Activity Induces Dermal Accumulation of T Cells and Neural Crest Derivatives Through Upregulation of Jagged 1
Activating Notch in adult skin causes T cells and neural crest cells to gather, leading to skin issues.
research Multi-Potentiality of a New Immortalized Epithelial Stem Cell Line Derived from Human Hair Follicles
Scientists created a long-lasting stem cell line from human hair that can turn into different skin and hair cell types.
research Planar Cell Polarity-Dependent and Independent Functions in the Emergence of Tissue-Scale Hair Follicle Patterns
Mice can correct hair follicle orientation without certain genes, but proper overall alignment needs those genes.
research Thyroid Hormone Action in Epidermal Development and Homeostasis and Its Implications in the Pathophysiology of the Skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
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 Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa: Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects
The document concludes that inherited epidermolysis bullosa is a challenging genetic condition requiring multidisciplinary care and new treatments.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research MicroRNAs in the Skin: Role in Development, Homeostasis, and Regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research The Dynamic Duo: Niche and Stem Cell Interdependency
Stem cells and their surrounding environment in hair follicles work closely together, affecting hair growth and having implications for cancer and tissue regeneration.
research A Role of Placental Growth Factor in Hair Growth
Placental growth factor may help treat hair loss.
research Smad1 and Smad5 but Not Smad8 Establish Stem Cell Quiescence Critical for Transforming Premature Hair Follicles During Morphogenesis to the Postnatal State

research PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway Is Essential for De Novo Hair Follicle Regeneration
PI3K/Akt pathway is crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research An Ovol2-Zeb1 Transcriptional Circuit Regulates Epithelial Directional Migration and Proliferation
The Ovol2-Zeb1 circuit is crucial for skin healing and hair growth by guiding cell movement and growth.
research A Bald Statement: Current Approaches to Manipulate Miniaturization Focus Only on Promoting Hair Growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research Ectodysplasin Research: Where to Next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Type I Keratin 17 Protein Is Phosphorylated on Serine 44 by p90 Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase 1 in a Growth- and Stress-Dependent Fashion
