The method quickly analyzes hair growth genes and shows that blocking Smo in skin cells stops hair growth.
research Nestin as a Marker of Unipotent Epithelial Progenitor Cells Differentiating into Outer Root Sheath Keratinocytes in Embryonic and Adult Hair Follicles
Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
research Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research In Vivo Imaging of Mammary Epithelial Cell Dynamics in Response to Lineage-Biased Wnt/β-Catenin Activation
Activating β-catenin in mammary cells leads to changes that cause early-stage abnormal growths similar to skin structures.
research Dermal Wnt/β-Catenin Activation Tunably Controls Hair Follicle Initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research Revisiting the Significance of Keratin Expression in Complex Epithelia
Keratin genes change gradually during skin cell development and should be used carefully as biomarkers.
research EZH2 Is Required for Human Hair Follicle Growth and Epidermal Differentiation
EZH2 is essential for hair growth and skin cell development.
research Skin-Specific Transgenic Overexpression of Ovine β-Catenin in Mice
Overexpressing ovine β-catenin in mice skin increases hair follicle density and growth.
research Human Fetal Scalp Dermal Papilla Enriched Genes and the Role of R-Spondin-1 in the Restoration of Hair Neogenesis in Adult Mouse Cells
Certain genes are more active in baby scalp cells and can help grow hair when added to adult mouse skin cells.
research DNA Dioxygenases Tet1/2/3 Control Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Differentiation and Hair Shaft Shape via Regulation of Hair Keratin Gene Expression
The enzymes Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3 are important for the development of hair follicles and determining hair shape by controlling hair keratin genes.
research 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies 2004: The World of Hair
The meeting presented new findings on hair stem cells, pigmentation, genetics, and modern hair treatment techniques.
research Epithelial Cells in the Hair Follicle Bulge Do Not Contribute to Epidermal Regeneration After Glucocorticoid-Induced Cutaneous Atrophy
Hair follicle bulge cells don't help skin regrow after glucocorticoid damage; interfollicular epidermis cells do.
research Epimorphin Expression During Human Fetal Hair Follicle Development
Epimorphin, a protein, plays a key role in the development of hair follicles in human fetuses, but it doesn't help in maintaining the stem cell population of the follicular skin layer.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Heterotypic Cell Contacts and Basal Lamina Morphology During Hair Follicle Development in the Mouse: A Light, Scanning, and Electron Microscopic Study at the Site of Tissue Interaction
Heterotypic cell contacts likely help hair matrix cells differentiate during mouse hair follicle development.
