research Morphological Characteristics and Notes of the Skin in Preclinical Toxicity Assessment
Skin structure complexity and variability are crucial for assessing skin toxicity in safety tests.
research Age-Associated Decrease in GDNF and Its Cognate Receptor GFRα-1 Protein Expression in Human Skin
Human skin has less GDNF and its receptor with age.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholesterolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research The Role of Interface Geometry and Appendages on the Mesoscale Mechanics of the Skin
Skin's uneven surface and hair follicles affect its stress and strain but don't change its overall strength, and help prevent the skin from peeling apart.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Progeny Heal Blisters While Pausing Skin Development
Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
research Impact of Stem Cells on Reparative Regeneration in Abdominal and Dorsal Skin in the Rat
Abdominal skin heals faster than dorsal skin because it has more stem cells.
research The Striatin-Interacting Phosphatase And Kinases Complex Is Important for Skin Epidermal Differentiation and Barrier Formation
The STRIPAK complex is crucial for skin cell organization and creating a functional skin barrier.
research Scratching the Surface of Skin Development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
research Centrosomes Are Required for the Normal Development of the Skin Epithelium
Centrosomes are essential for healthy skin and hair growth, and their role is different from that of cilia.
research Identification of a Preferred Substrate Peptide for Transglutaminase 3 and Detection of In Situ Activity in Skin and Hair Follicles
The study found a specific peptide that helps detect TGase 3 activity in skin and hair follicles.
research Phosphatase Regulator NIPP1 Restrains Chemokine-Driven Skin Inflammation
NIPP1 is important for healthy skin and could help treat skin inflammation.
research Biology of the Skin and Dermatological Disease
Knowing how skin works and its diseases helps doctors diagnose and treat skin conditions better.
research A Two-Phase Model of Skin Epidermal Stratification: Lessons from Centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research Porous Gradient Hydrogel Promotes Skin Regeneration by Angiogenesis
The hydrogel helps skin heal by encouraging new blood vessel growth.
research Sphingolipid Metabolism Orchestrates the Establishment of the Adult Hair Follicle Stem Cell Niche to Control Skin Homeostasis
A specific enzyme is essential for proper hair follicle stem cell development and healthy skin.
research The Role of Tight Junctions in Skin Barrier Function and Dermal Absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Transformation of Amnion Epithelium into Skin and Hair Follicles
Mouse amnion can turn into skin and hair follicles with help from certain cells and factors.
research Stem Cells and the Skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Molecular and Spatial Design of Early Skin Development
The research reveals how early embryonic mouse skin develops from simple to complex structures, identifying various cell types and their roles in this process.
research Identification of the Cell Lineage at the Origin of Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Evidence That Myc Activation Depletes the Epidermal Stem Cell Compartment by Modulating Adhesive Interactions with the Local Microenvironment
Myc activation reduces skin stem cells by affecting cell adhesion.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Wounding Induces Dedifferentiation of Epidermal Gata6+ Cells and Acquisition of Stem Cell Properties
Wounded skin cells can revert to stem cells and help heal.
research Alterations in Epidermal Stem Cells Within the Pilosebaceous Unit in Atrophic Acne Scars
Inflammatory acne damages skin stem cells and reduces their growth, leading to atrophic acne scars.
research Bioinformatic Analysis of Gene Expression Data Reveals Src Family Protein Tyrosine Kinases as Key Players in Androgenetic Alopecia
Protein tyrosine kinases are key in male pattern baldness, affecting skin structure, hair growth, and immune responses.
research Role of Stem Cells in Skin Maintenance, Regeneration, and Repair: Focus on Epidermis and Pilosebaceous Units
The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
research Age-Associated Inflammation Connects RAS-Induced Senescence to Stem Cell Dysfunction and Epidermal Malignancy
Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
