This study demonstrates that Sox2+ dermal papilla fibroblasts exhibit properties of adult stem cells, including the ability to induce hair follicle formation and contribute to dermal regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

This study found that activating Nrf2 in human hair follicles significantly reduced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and protected against hair growth inhibition, suggesting a protective role for Nrf2 against redox insult in this context.

This study found that Bnip3L and caspase-12 were differentially expressed during the first catagen stage of mouse hair follicle development under normal physiological conditions.

This study suggests that TGF-β 2 plays a critical role in hair follicle morphogenesis and may enhance the effectiveness of future cell therapies for hair regrowth using expanded dermal papilla cells.

This study observed unexpected heterogeneity among pigment cells in human scalp hair follicles, identifying immature melanocyte populations outside traditional pigment production zones, raising questions about their potential roles beyond melanin synthesis.

This study found that the ocular surface epithelium in mice contains distinct stem cell populations with unique cell division dynamics that change behaviorally in response to different levels of injury.

This study analyzed proteomic changes in Jiangnan cashmere goats' secondary hair follicles and found that the PLIN2 gene significantly impacts hair follicle growth cycles by affecting dermal papilla cell proliferation, offering insights into breeding strategies to enhance cashmere yield.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify at least nine subpopulations of keratinocytes in human neonatal epidermis, revealing unexpected heterogeneity and complex differentiation trajectories.

This study found that GNAQQ209L expression in mouse melanocytes led to reduced survival in the interfollicular epidermis due to paracrine signaling, while GNAQQ209L boosted survival in a different microenvironment.

In this study, researchers used NIR-II fluorescence imaging to track the survival and migration of EPI-NCSCs in rat models, finding that these stem cells aided in repairing facial nerve defects when applied via acellular nerve allografts.

This study suggests that inactivation of β-catenin is necessary for chick retina regeneration, as it allows cells to enter the cell cycle during injury and promotes regeneration without needing FGF2.

This study found that transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and FOXN1 repress DSG4 transcription, with the Notch pathway possibly involved in maintaining DSG4 expression in hair follicles.

This study describes various clinical phenotypes associated with FOXN1 mutations, finding that affected individuals may develop different severities of immunodeficiency based on their genetic mutations.

This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.

This study examined Bcl-2 and COX-2 expression in Lichen Planus cases, highlighting their roles in apoptosis protection and inflammation, with results analyzed statistically.

Keratin 79 cells help form and regenerate hair canals.

This study found that activating both PKM2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling enhanced hair re-growth and HFSCs proliferation in mice, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for alopecia.

This study showed that a 2-kilobase upstream region of the mouse keratin 17 gene enables targeted GFP expression in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice, indicating sonic hedgehog's involvement in its regulation.

Low oxygen levels can make hair-growing cells better at growing hair through a process involving reactive oxygen species.

NFATc1 is crucial for keeping hair follicle stem cells inactive.

This study identified novel isoforms of the PADI2 and PADI3 proteins, showing that PADI2β inhibits oligodendrocyte differentiation, possibly by opposing the effect of canonical PADI2, while PADI3β modulates the activity of PADI3α, suggesting new regulatory mechanisms of citrullination in tissue development.

This case report describes a 29-year-old Japanese man with follicular mucinosis, suggesting nestin-positive, multipotent hair follicle stem cells may be involved in reticular epithelial degeneration of the outer root sheath.
