research Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Wnt Signaling, Lgr5, and Stem Cells in the Intestine and Skin
Lgr5 is a marker for active, self-renewing stem cells in the intestine and skin, important for tissue maintenance.
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 Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Identification of Stem Cell Populations in Sweat Glands and Ducts Reveals Roles in Homeostasis and Wound Repair
The study found that sweat glands contain different types of stem cells that help with healing and maintaining healthy skin.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Drives Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
research Hair Cosmetics: An Overview
Dermatologists need to understand hair products to treat hair and scalp issues better.
research Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Comparative Proteomics Indicates That Biosynthesis of Pectic Precursors Is Important for Cotton Fiber and Arabidopsis Root Hair Elongation
Pectin biosynthesis is essential for the growth of cotton fibers and Arabidopsis root hairs.
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 Theoretical Considerations in Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
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 Mechanical and Biological Properties of Keratose Biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Hair Anatomy for the Clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Structural Abnormalities of the Hair Shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Potassium Channel Openers: Pharmacological and Clinical Aspects
Potassium channel openers could help treat cardiovascular diseases and asthma but require better targeting to specific tissues for effective use.
research Epithelial Skin Biology: Stem Cells and Epidermal Homeostasis
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Keratin Disorders: From Gene to Therapy
New treatments targeting specific genes show promise for treating keratin disorders.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
