research Responses of Hair Follicle–Associated Structures to Loss of Planar Cell Polarity Signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research Smad4-Dependent Desmoglein-4 Expression Contributes to Hair Follicle Integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Epidermal Keratinocyte Stem Cells: Their Maintenance and Regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Hydrogel from Acellular Porcine Adipose Tissue Accelerates Wound Healing by Inducing Intradermal Adipocyte Regeneration
A hydrogel made from pig fat helps wounds heal faster by regenerating skin fat cells.
research Analysis of Skin Graft Survival Using Green Fluorescent Protein Transgenic Mice
GFP transgenic mice help study cell origins in skin grafts.
research Expansion of Hair Follicle Stem Cells Sticking to Isolated Sebaceous Glands to Generate In Vivo Epidermal Structures
Sebaceous glands can help harvest hair follicle stem cells to regenerate skin and hair.
research Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.
research Skin Structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research Ferreting Out Stem Cells From Their Niches
New methods have greatly improved our understanding of stem cell behavior and roles in the body.
research Compartmentalized Organization: A Common and Required Feature of Stem Cell Niches?
Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
research Expression Patterns of MITF During Human Cutaneous Embryogenesis: Evidence for Bulge Epithelial Expression and Persistence of Dermal Melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Diverse Cellular Players Orchestrate Regeneration After Wounding
Different cell types work together to repair skin, and targeting them may improve healing and reduce scarring.
research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney Complex are caused by a gene change in some skin cells that leads to increased pigmentation and may lead to tumors.
research Reporting Live from the Epidermal Stem Cell Compartment
The study showed that some hair follicle stem cells wake up to grow hair while others stay asleep, and that the environment around them is important for hair growth.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Somatic Stem Cell Heterogeneity: Diversity in the Blood, Skin, and Intestinal Stem Cell Compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research Stretching the Limits: From Homeostasis to Stem Cell Plasticity in Wound Healing and Cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research The Hair Follicle Bulge: A Niche for Adult Stem Cells
The hair follicle bulge is an important area for adult stem cells involved in hair growth and repair, with potential for medical use needing more research.
research Thy1 Marks a Distinct Population of Slow-Cycling Stem Cells in the Mouse Epidermis
A specific group of slow-growing stem cells marked by Thy1 is crucial for skin maintenance and healing in mice.
research Characterization of CD4+ Stem Cells of the Skin and Their Role in Skin Homeostasis and Tumorigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research Basal Cells in the Epidermis and Epidermal Differentiation
The exact identity of skin stem cells and how skin cells differentiate is not fully known.
research Stem Cells and the Skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research Controlling the Stem Cell Niche: Right Time, Right Place, Right Strength
Wnt/ß-catenin signaling is crucial for regulating skin stem cells and hair growth, with the right levels and timing needed for proper function.
research Loss of Epidermal Melanin Unit Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Editors' Picks
Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.
research Defining the Impact of Beta-Catenin/Tcf Transactivation on Epithelial Stem Cells
β-catenin is essential for stem cell activation and proliferation in hair follicles.
research Modulating Embryonic Signaling Pathways Paves the Way for Regeneration in Wound Healing
Modifying certain signals in the body can help wounds heal without scars and regrow hair.
research Primary Cilia Regulate Meibomian Glands Development and Dimensions Without Impairing Lipid Composition of the Meibum
Primary cilia affect the size and oil production of eye glands but not the oil's makeup.
