research Estrogens and Aging Skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
research The Mesenchymal Component of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: Background, Methods, and Molecular Characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Suprabasal Desmoglein 3 Expression in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Results in Hyperproliferation and Abnormal Differentiation
Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin 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 Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
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 Emerging Nonmetabolic Functions of Skin Fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Receptor Activator of NF-κB Stimulates the Proliferation of Epithelial Cells of the Epidermo-Pilosebaceous Unit
RANK-RANKL signaling is essential for hair growth and skin health.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Murine Skin as a Target for Melatonin Bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.
research Identification of Ectodysplasin Target Genes Reveals the Involvement of Chemokines in Hair Development
Chemokine signaling is important for hair development.
research The Human Hair Follicle, A Bistable Organ?
Human hair follicles switch between active and resting phases unpredictably.
research Human Type 3 5α-Reductase Is Expressed in Peripheral Tissues at Higher Levels Than Types 1 and 2 and Its Activity Is Potently Inhibited by Finasteride and Dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Induction of Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cell Properties in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Multipotent LNGFR(+)THY-1(+) Mesenchymal Cells
Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.
research Control by a Hair’s Breadth: The Role of MicroRNAs in the Skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Does Prolactin Play a Role in Skin Biology and Pathology?
Prolactin may be important for skin growth and immune function.
research Calcineurin/NFATc1 Signaling Links Skin Stem Cell Quiescence to Hormonal Signaling During Pregnancy and Lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research The Prolactin Receptor as a Therapeutic Target in Human Diseases: Exploring New Potential Indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and the PTH Receptor Regulate Angiogenesis of the Skin
PTHrP and its receptor can control blood vessel growth and hair development in mouse skin.
research Controlling the Stem Cell Niche: Right Time, Right Place, Right Strength
Wnt/ß-catenin signaling is crucial for regulating skin stem cells and hair growth, with the right levels and timing needed for proper function.
research Epidermal Keratinocyte Stem Cells: Their Maintenance and Regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Multi-Tasking Epidermal Stem Cells: Beyond Epidermal Maintenance
Epidermal stem cells have various roles in skin beyond just maintenance, including forming specialized structures and aiding in skin repair and regeneration.
research Rooster Feathering, Androgenic Alopecia, And Hormone-Dependent Tumor Growth: What Is In Common?
