Improving the environment and cell interactions is key for creating human hair in the lab.
research DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
Blocking Wnt signaling in young mice causes thymus shrinkage and cell loss, but recovery is possible when the block is removed.
research TGFβ and Cancer Metastasis: An Inflammation Link
TGFβ's manipulation of inflammation and immune cells affects cancer spread, suggesting new treatment strategies and biomarkers.
research Modulating Hair Follicle Size with Wnt10b/DKK1 During Hair Regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Exogenous IGF-1 Promotes Hair Growth by Stimulating Cell Proliferation and Downregulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 Mice In Vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
