research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research Hopes and Limits of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Wound Healing
ADSCs help in wound healing and skin regeneration but need more research for full understanding.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research New Insights into the Role of Runx1 in Epithelial Stem Cell Biology and Pathology
Runx1 affects hair growth, cancer development, and autoimmune diseases in epithelial tissues.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Loss of Epidermal Evi/Wls Results in a Phenotype Resembling Psoriasiform Dermatitis
Loss of a specific protein in skin cells causes symptoms similar to psoriasis.
research Delayed Cutaneous Wound Healing and Aberrant Expression of Hair Follicle Stem Cell Markers in Mice Selectively Lacking Ctip2 in Epidermis
Lack of Ctip2 in skin cells delays wound healing and disrupts hair follicle stem cell markers in mice.
research No Genetic Support for a Contribution of Prostaglandins to the Etiology of Androgenetic Alopecia
No genetic link between prostaglandins and hair loss found.
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 Histogenesis of Keratoacanthoma: Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
research The G-Protein Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Matricellular Proteins in the Homeostasis, Regeneration, and Aging of Skin
Special proteins are important for skin balance, healing, and aging, and affect skin stem cells.
research MicroRNA-214 Controls Skin and Hair Follicle Development by Modulating the Activity of the Wnt Pathway
MicroRNA-214 is important for skin and hair growth because it affects the Wnt pathway.
research Epidermal Stem Cells in Wound Healing and Their Clinical Applications
Epidermal stem cells help heal severe skin wounds and have potential for medical treatments.
research Keratin and Skin Disorders
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Role of Bulge Epidermal Stem Cells and TSLP Signaling in Psoriasis
Blocking TSLP reduces skin inflammation and cell overgrowth in psoriasis.
research Keratin Intermediate Filaments in the Colon: Guardians of Epithelial Homeostasis
Keratin proteins are essential for keeping the cells in the human colon healthy and stable.
research Runx Family Genes in Tissue Stem Cell Dynamics
Runx genes are important for stem cell regulation and their roles in aging and disease need more research.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells: Walking the Maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Ppp2r2a Knockout Mice Reveal That Protein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit, PP2A-B55α, Is an Essential Regulator of Neuronal and Epidermal Embryonic Development
The PP2A-B55α protein is essential for brain and skin development in embryos.
research Signaling in the Stem Cell Niche: Regulating Cell Fate, Function, and Plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Cutaneous Gene Therapy
Cutaneous gene therapy could become a viable treatment for skin and hair disorders with improved vector development and gene expression control.
research Recent Advances on Skin-Resident Stem/Progenitor Cell Functions in Skin Regeneration, Aging, and Cancers and Novel Anti-Aging and Cancer Therapies
New treatments targeting skin stem cells show promise for skin repair, anti-aging, and cancer therapy.
