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 Randomized Trial of Aromatherapy for Alopecia Areata
Aromatherapy with certain essential oils is a safe and effective treatment for hair growth in alopecia areata patients.
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 Overexpression of Smad7 Results in Severe Pathological Alterations in Multiple Epithelial Tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research The Hair Cycle of the Mouse and Its Importance in the Study of Sequences of Experimental Carcinogenesis
Understanding the mouse hair cycle is crucial for cancer research.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.
research Physiological Functions of PP2A: Lessons from Genetically Modified Mice
Mice studies show that Protein Phosphatase 2A is crucial for cell growth, development, and disease prevention.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Induction of Dark Keratinocytes by 12-O-Tetradecanoyl-Phorbol-13-Acetate and Mezerein as an Indicator of Tumor-Promoting Efficiency

research Current Applications of High-Frequency Ultrasonography in Dermatology
High-frequency ultrasonography is a useful but underused tool in dermatology for assessing skin cancers, monitoring diseases, and evaluating treatments.
research Immune Deficiency-Related Enteropathy-Lymphocytopenia-Alopecia Syndrome Results from Tetratricopeptide Repeat Domain 7A Deficiency
A deficiency in the TTC7A gene causes immune problems, gut issues, and hair loss.
research C-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
The balance between androgen receptor and p53 is crucial for sebaceous gland differentiation.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.
research Cyclic Dynamics of Hair Follicles and the Effect of Minoxidil on the Bald Scalps of Stumptailed Macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research Oral Retinoids in Dermatology
Oral retinoids are effective for severe skin conditions but require careful use due to side effects.
research Spontaneous Tumor Regression in Keratoacanthomas Is Driven by Wnt/Retinoic Acid Signaling Cross-Talk
Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
research Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Bcl-2 overexpression protects against UVB damage but worsens hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Biology of Hair Growth
