9 citations,
August 2021 in “Experimental dermatology” Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin disease caused by the breakdown of the skin's natural immune barriers, especially around hair follicles.
January 2015 in “Springer eBooks” Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
10 citations,
January 2016 in “Dermatology” Psoriasis lesions have fewer and smaller oil glands, which might affect the condition's development.
17 citations,
March 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Autofluorescence in hair follicle stem cells can interfere with studies but may help isolate these cells.
June 2006 in “Experimental dermatology” Hair follicle bulge cells are important for hair survival and help heal the skin after injury, which might be relevant for understanding hidradenitis suppurativa.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
January 2007 in “The Year book of dermatology” Researchers successfully isolated and identified key stem cells in human hair follicles, which could help develop new skin and hair treatments.
