research The Role of Tight Junctions in Skin Barrier Function and Dermal Absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
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 Tight Junction Barriers in Human Hair Follicles – Role of Claudin-1
Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-Regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-Steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Wound Regeneration Deficit in Rats Correlates with Low Morphogenetic Potential and Distinct Transcriptome Profile of Epidermis
Rats can't grow new hair follicles after skin wounds, unlike mice, due to differences in gene expression and response to WNT signaling.
research Implication of MicroRNA Regulation in Para-Phenylenediamine-Induced Cell Death and Senescence in Normal Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair dye ingredient PPD causes cell death and aging in human hair cells by altering microRNA levels.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-Option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Some hair protein genes evolved early and were adapted for use in hair follicles.
