research Catalytic-Dependent and -Independent Activities of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 Differentially Regulate Skin Stem Cell Specification
PRC1 influences skin stem cell development by both turning genes on and off, affecting hair growth and skin cell types.
research Polycomb-Mediated Repression and Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Regulate Merkel Cell Specification
Sonic hedgehog signaling is needed for the development of touch-receptor cells in the skin, and the loss of Polycomb repressive complex 2 can lead to more of these cells.
research Hox in the Niche Controls Hair Heterogeneity
Hox genes control hair growth patterns in mammals by regulating stem cell activity in the skin.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Under Dynamic Optical Coherence Tomography
D-OCT shows increased blood vessel growth in response to tissue damage in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and is useful for diagnosis and monitoring.
research Conditional Ablation of JAK-STAT5 Signaling Induces Anagen Hair Growth
Blocking JAK-STAT5 signaling in mice leads to hair growth.
research Understanding Cellular and Molecular Responses in the Treatment of Pediatric Lymphatic Anomalies
Sirolimus and propranolol may reduce abnormal cell growth and improve lymphatic malformations in children.
research Defining the Molecular Signature of the Hair Follicle Dermal Sheath and Its Functional Requirement for Hair Cycle Progression During Catagen
The hair follicle dermal sheath is essential for hair shedding and needs to communicate with the outer root sheath for normal hair growth cycles.
research Molecular Basis of Hair Follicle Donor Dominance in Androgenetic Alopecia and Sexual Dimorphism of the Skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research Cellular Senescence in Tissue Repair: Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
