research Human Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Their Progeny: Current State of Knowledge, the Widening Gap in Translational Research and Future Challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research As a Carrier–Transporter for Hair Follicle Reconstitution, Platelet-Rich Plasma Promotes Proliferation and Induction of Mouse Dermal Papilla Cells
Platelet-rich plasma can help grow more mouse hair follicles, but it doesn't work for human hair follicles yet.
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 Heterozygous FOXN1 Variants Cause Low TRECs and Severe T Cell Lymphopenia, Revealing a Crucial Role of FOXN1 in Supporting Early Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research Transcriptional Regulation of the Thymus Master Regulator Foxn1
Foxn1 gene regulation is crucial for thymus development but not for hair growth.
research Restoration of Hair-Inductive Activity of Cultured Human Follicular Keratinocytes by Co-Culturing with Dermal Papilla Cells
Growing hair cells with dermal cells can potentially treat hair loss.
research Hair Follicle Generation by Injections of Adult Human Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Papilla Cells into Nude Mice
Injecting a mix of human skin and hair cells into mice can grow new hair.
research The Evolutionary Impact of Androgen Levels on Prostate Cancer in a Multi-Scale Mathematical Model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Transformation of Amnion Epithelium into Skin and Hair Follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
research Macrophage Ferroportin Is Essential for Stromal Cell Proliferation in Wound Healing
Macrophage iron release is crucial for hair growth and wound healing.
research Epithelial Cells Supply Sonic Hedgehog to the Perinatal Dentate Gyrus via Transport by Platelets
Hair follicles supply a crucial brain development protein to the brain via platelets.
research Identification of a Specific Subset of Monocytes/Macrophages That Coordinates Skin Wound Healing
A specific type of immune cells, called CD301b-expressing macrophages, are crucial for skin repair processes.
research EZH2 Is Required for Human Hair Follicle Growth and Epidermal Differentiation
EZH2 is essential for hair growth and skin cell development.
research Hair Multiplication With Dermal Papilla-Like Tissue Containing Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Injecting lab-grown hair cells into the scalp can regrow hair.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Keratin 79 Identifies a Novel Population of Migratory Epithelial Cells That Initiates Hair Canal Morphogenesis and Regeneration
Keratin 79 marks a new group of cells that are key for creating and repairing the hair follicle's structure.
research Neonatal Murine Skin-Derived Cells Transplanted Using a Mini-Chamber Model Produce Robust and Normal Hair
Transplanted baby mouse skin cells grew normal hair using a new, efficient method.
research Valentina Greco: Got Hair?
Valentina Greco's research shows that the environment around hair follicle stem cells is more crucial for regeneration than the stem cells themselves.
research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
research Conditional Activin Receptor Type 1B (Acvr1b) Knockout Mice Reveal Hair Loss Abnormality
Disrupting Acvr1b in mice causes severe hair loss and thicker skin.
research Use of Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel from Human Placenta to Restore Hair-Inductive Potential of Dermal Papilla Cells
Human placenta hydrogel helps restore cells needed for hair growth.
research FOXN1: A Master Regulator Gene of Thymic Epithelial Development Program
The FOXN1 gene is crucial for developing immune cells and preventing immune disorders.
research The Hair Growth Promoting Effect of Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate, a Long-Acting Vitamin C Derivative
A long-acting Vitamin C derivative helps hair grow by stimulating cells and increasing growth factors.
research Epithelial Cells in the Hair Follicle Bulge Do Not Contribute to Epidermal Regeneration After Glucocorticoid-Induced Cutaneous Atrophy
Hair follicle bulge cells don't help skin regrow after glucocorticoid damage; interfollicular epidermis cells do.
research Cellular Heterogeneity and Plasticity of Skin Epithelial Cells in Wound Healing and Tumorigenesis
Skin cells show flexibility in healing wounds and forming tumors, with potential for treating hair disorders and chronic ulcers.
research Regulation of Keratin 9 in Nonpalmoplantar Keratinocytes by Palmoplantar Fibroblasts Through Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
