October 2017 in “Stem Cell Reports” The study demonstrated that Alkaline Ceramidase 1 (ACER1) was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and preventing premature hair loss in mice by regulating ceramide metabolism. Mice lacking the Acer1 gene showed increased ceramide levels, leading to HFSC depletion, disrupted hair follicle cycling, and progressive hair loss. The absence of ACER1 resulted in morphological changes in hair follicles, lipid accumulation, and impaired hair structure and function. The research highlighted the importance of ACER1 in regulating ceramide metabolism and maintaining HFSC homeostasis, suggesting its potential as a target for treating hair loss conditions.

April 2020 in “American Journal Of Pathology” The document reviewed the pathobiology of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative process influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to structural changes such as epidermal thinning, loss of dermal papillae, and decreased collagen and elastin, which contribute to wrinkles and sagging. It highlighted the role of stem cell dysfunction, genetic factors, and immune system decline in skin deterioration, noting increased susceptibility to infections and skin cancer. The review argued for recognizing skin aging as a disease due to its health implications and variability among individuals. It also discussed the psychological impact of skin aging and advocated for public health strategies to mitigate its progression. The document emphasized the complex interplay between skin aging, stem cell function, and immune response, suggesting potential interventions like targeting sirtuins to reverse aging effects.
