research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.

research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Hairless Controls Hair Fate Decision via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
The Hairless gene is crucial for hair cell development, affecting whether skin cells become hair or skin and oil gland cells.
research Morphogenesis and Renewal of Hair Follicles from Adult Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult mouse skin contains stem cells that can create new hair, skin, and oil glands.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor Under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research TGFβ Signaling Regulates Lipogenesis in Human Sebaceous Gland Cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research Regional Difference in Sebum Production by Androgen Susceptibility in Human Facial Skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research An Updated Review of the Sebaceous Gland and Its Role in Health and Diseases Part 1: Embryology, Evolution, Structure, and Function of Sebaceous Glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Trichoblastoma with Sebaceous and Sweat Gland Differentiation
A rare benign skin tumor showed unusual features of sebaceous and sweat glands, important for correct diagnosis.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Selective Induction of Apoptosis in the Hamster Flank Sebaceous Gland Organ by a Topical Liposome 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor: A Treatment Strategy for Acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Inactivation of Autophagy Leads to Changes in Sebaceous Gland Morphology and Function
Autophagy is crucial for normal sebaceous gland function and sebum composition.
research Long-Term Renewal of Hair Follicles from Clonogenic Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
research Strategic Targets in Acne: The Comedone Switch in Question
The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Etiology of Cicatricial Alopecias: A Basic Science Point of View
Cicatricial alopecia may be caused by immune attacks on hair follicles, gland issues, or stem cell damage.
research The Multipotency of Adult Vibrissa Follicle Stem Cells
Adult vibrissa follicle stem cells can regenerate hair follicles, glands, and skin.
research Histological Study of Horse Skin
Horse skin has a layered epidermis, a dermis with hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and is supplied by small arteries.
research Cultured Follicles Offer Hope for Beating Baldness
Growing hair follicles from cultured cells could potentially treat baldness, but more research is needed.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Differentiation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into a Multipotent Keratinocyte Lineage
Scientists turned mouse stem cells into skin cells that can grow into skin layers and structures.
research A Keratinocyte-Specific Epoxygenase, CYP2B12, Metabolizes Arachidonic Acid with Unusual Selectivity, Producing a Single Major Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid
CYP2B12 enzyme in skin cells converts arachidonic acid into specific bioactive lipids.
research Mitochondrial Function in Murine Skin Epithelium Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
Healthy mitochondria in skin cells are essential for proper hair growth and skin cell interaction in mice.
research Reorganization of Hair Follicles in Human Skin Organ Culture Induced by Cultured Human Follicle-Derived Cells
Injected human hair follicle cells can create new, small hair follicles in skin cultures.
research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin
The study found that the enzyme linked to acne is present in the same areas of both acne-affected and normal skin.
research Hair Morphogenesis In Vitro: Formation of Hair Structures Suitable for Implantation
Scientists created early-stage hairs from mouse cells that grew into normal, pigmented hair when implanted into other mice.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Stem Cells and Alopecia: A Review of Pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
