Keratin 15 expression in skin cells is regulated by two mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 and FOXM1.
research Novel Janus Kinase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Dermatologic Conditions
JAK inhibitors show promise for treating various skin diseases.
research Preparing the Hair Follicle Canal for Hair Shaft Emergence
A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
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 Loss of Keratin K2 Expression Causes Aberrant Aggregation of K10, Hyperkeratosis, and Inflammation
Loss of keratin K2 causes skin problems and inflammation.
research Cyclosporin A-Induced Hair Growth in Mice Is Associated with Inhibition of Calcineurin-Dependent Activation of NFAT in Follicular Keratinocytes
Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Heme Oxygenase and the Skin in Health and Disease
HO-1 helps skin health and healing but can worsen melanoma; it's a potential treatment target for skin diseases.
research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
