research The Keratins of the Human Beard Hair Medulla: The Riddle in the Middle
Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.
research Interventional and Intrinsic Airway Homeostasis and Repair
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand airway repair and to improve tissue engineering for lung treatments.
research Defining the Localization and Molecular Characteristics of Minor Salivary Gland Label-Retaining Cells
The study found stem cells in minor salivary glands that can differentiate and are involved in tumor formation when exposed to tobacco.
research Developing Stratified Epithelia: Lessons from the Epidermis and Thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration

research The Cellular Basis of Mechanosensory Merkel-Cell Innervation During Development
BMP signaling is essential for the development of touch domes.
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 Management of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias: Options for Treatment
There are many treatments for permanent hair loss disorders, but their effectiveness varies and there's no clear best option.
research Co-Factors of LIM Domains (Clims/Ldb/Nli) Regulate Corneal Homeostasis and Maintenance of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Clim proteins are essential for maintaining healthy corneas and hair follicles.
research Cell Death by Cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Genetically Modified Laboratory Mice with Sebaceous Glands Abnormalities
Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.

research Nestin as a Marker of Unipotent Embryonic and Adult Progenitors Differentiating into an Epithelial Cell Lineage of the Hair Follicles
Nestin identifies specific progenitor cells in hair follicles that can become outer root sheath cells.
research A Function for Rac1 in the Terminal Differentiation and Pigmentation of Hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
research Combined Deletion of the Vitamin D Receptor and Calcium-Sensing Receptor Delays Wound Re-Epithelialization
Removing vitamin D and calcium receptors in mice skin cells slows down skin wound healing.
research Tp63-Expressing Adult Epithelial Stem Cells Cross Lineage Boundaries Revealing Latent Hairy Skin Competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Keratin Intermediate Filaments in the Colon: Guardians of Epithelial Homeostasis
Keratin proteins are essential for keeping the cells in the human colon healthy and stable.
research Increased Vibrissa Growth in Transgenic Mice Expressing Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
IGF-1 increases whisker growth in transgenic mice.
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 DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
