research Paracrine Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 4 Inhibits Melanocyte Differentiation in Hair Follicle
A protein called sFRP4 from skin cells stops the development of pigment-producing cells in hair.
research Thy1 Marks a Distinct Population of Slow-Cycling Stem Cells in the Mouse Epidermis
A specific group of slow-growing stem cells marked by Thy1 is crucial for skin maintenance and healing in mice.
research Alopecia Areata: Hyperactivity of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Is a Myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Segmental Vitiligo: Characteristics, Treatment, and Prognosis
Segmental Vitiligo is a stable, early-onset form of vitiligo that responds well to early treatment and is ideal for repigmentation studies.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo and Hair Graying
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Aging and Anti-Aging in Hair and Hair Loss
Hair ages and thins due to factors like inflammation and stress, and treatments like antioxidants and hormones might improve hair health.
research Stem Cells and Their Niches
The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: The Signaling Hub of the Skin
Hair follicle stem cells are important for maintaining healthy skin and interact with many signals.
research Dermal Niche Signaling and Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
