The NAMS 2014 recommendations guide healthcare providers on treating health issues in midlife women, emphasizing individualized care and informed decision-making.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in Stem Cells and Tissue Homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Fgf9 From Dermal γδ T Cells Induces Hair Follicle Neogenesis After Wounding
A protein from certain immune cells is key for new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research Eph Receptors and Ephrins: Therapeutic Opportunities
Eph receptors and ephrins may be promising targets for treating diseases, but more understanding is needed for effective and safe therapies.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Hedgehog Stimulates Hair Follicle Neogenesis by Creating Inductive Dermis During Murine Skin Wound Healing
The Sonic hedgehog pathway is crucial for new hair growth during mouse skin healing.
research Increased Copy Number of the TERT and TERC Telomerase Subunit Genes in Cancer Cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
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 Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Careless Talk Costs Lives: Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Signalling and the Consequences of Pathway Malfunction
Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling controls cell development and repair, and its malfunction can cause disorders and cancer, but it also offers potential for targeted therapies.
research MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research Tissue Regenerative Delays and Synthetic Lethality in Adult Mice After Combined Deletion of ATR and TRP53
Removing both Atr and Trp53 genes in adult mice causes severe tissue damage and death due to DNA damage.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Tissue Injury: Roles in Pathology and Therapeutic Opportunities for Regeneration
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway helps tissue regeneration but can also cause fibrosis, and drugs that inhibit this pathway may aid in healing skin and heart tissues.
research Conditioned Media Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cell Cultures: The Next Generation for Regenerative Medicine
Conditioned media from mesenchymal stem cell cultures could be a more effective alternative for regenerative therapies, but more research is needed.
research Physiological Functions of PP2A: Lessons from Genetically Modified Mice
