research Coordinated Activation of Wnt in Epithelial and Melanocyte Stem Cells Initiates Pigmented Hair Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for pigmented hair regeneration by controlling stem cell activation and differentiation.
research Hair Follicle Aging Is Driven by Transepidermal Elimination of Stem Cells via COL17A1 Proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
research Timing of Expression of the Core Clock Gene Bmal1 Influences Its Effects on Aging and Survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research The ZIP7 Gene (Slc39a7) Encodes a Zinc Transporter Involved in Zinc Homeostasis of the Golgi Apparatus
The ZIP7 gene helps control zinc levels in cells by moving zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.
research Fibrous Scaffolds Potentiate the Paracrine Function of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A New Dimension in Cell-Material Interaction
Special fiber materials boost the healing properties of certain stem cells.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition

research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology: The Role of TRPV1 in Human Hair Growth Control
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Skin CD4+ Memory T Cells Exhibit Combined Cluster-Mediated Retention and Equilibration with the Circulation
Memory T cells in the skin balance staying put and moving into the blood, clustering around hair follicles, and increasing in number after infection.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Maternal PPARγ Protects Nursing Neonates by Suppressing the Production of Inflammatory Milk
A mother's PPARγ is crucial for preventing harmful milk that can cause inflammation and growth problems in babies.
research Generation of Folliculogenic Human Epithelial Stem Cells from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Hair Follicles’ Transit-Amplifying Cells Govern Concurrent Dermal Adipocyte Production Through Sonic Hedgehog
Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
research Regenerative Hair Waves in Aging Mice and Extra-Follicular Modulators Follistatin, Dkk1, and Sfrp4
Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research Evidence That the Satin Hair Mutant Gene Foxq1 Is Among Multiple and Functionally Diverse Regulatory Targets for Hoxc13 During Hair Follicle Differentiation
The gene Foxq1, controlled by Hoxc13, is crucial for hair follicle differentiation.
research CXCR3 Blockade Inhibits T Cell Migration Into the Skin and Prevents Development of Alopecia Areata
Blocking the CXCR3 receptor reduces T cell accumulation in the skin and prevents hair loss in mice.
research Keratin 79 Identifies a Novel Population of Migratory Epithelial Cells That Initiates Hair Canal Morphogenesis and Regeneration
