research Tissue Engineering of Human Hair Follicles Using a Biomimetic Developmental Approach
Researchers created human hair follicles using a new method that could help treat hair loss.
research Self-Organizing and Stochastic Behaviors During the Regeneration of Hair Stem Cells
Hair stem cell regeneration is controlled by signals that can explain different hair growth patterns and baldness.
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 The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Physiology and Pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Molecular Biology of Hair Morphogenesis: Development and Cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Stem Cell Dynamics in the Hair Follicle Niche
Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Modulation of Hair Growth with Small Molecule Agonists of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
Applying a special compound can promote hair growth without harmful side effects.
research Expression and Function of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Activin in Skin Morphogenesis and Cutaneous Wound Repair
KGF and activin are crucial for skin healing and repair.
research The Histopathologic Spectrum of Psoriasis
Psoriasis skin changes are complex and might need several biopsies for a clear diagnosis.
research Genetic Basis of Skin Appendage Development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Overexpression of Smad7 Results in Severe Pathological Alterations in Multiple Epithelial Tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Keratin Disorders: From Gene to Therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research A Guide to Assessing Damage Response Pathways of the Hair Follicle: Lessons From Cyclophosphamide-Induced Alopecia in Mice
The document concludes that assessing hair follicle damage due to cyclophosphamide in mice involves analyzing structural changes and suggests a scoring system for standardized evaluation.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Thymosin Beta 4 Increases Hair Growth by Activation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Thymosin β4 promotes hair growth by activating stem cells in hair follicles.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Self-Organization Process in Newborn Skin Organoid Formation Inspires Strategy to Restore Hair Regeneration of Adult Cells
Newborn mouse skin cells can grow hair and this process can be recreated in adult cells to potentially help with hair loss.
research Dermal White Adipose Tissue: A New Component of the Thermogenic Response
Skin fat helps with body temperature control and has other active roles in health.
research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development
TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research KGF And EGF Signaling Block Hair Follicle Induction And Promote Interfollicular Epidermal Fate In Developing Mouse Skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research From Telogen to Exogen: Mechanisms Underlying Formation and Subsequent Loss of the Hair Club Fiber
