research Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.
research Bulge Cells of Human Hair Follicles: Segregation, Cultivation, and Properties
Researchers found that bulge cells from human hair can grow quickly in culture and have properties of hair follicle stem cells, which could be useful for skin treatments.
research Stem Cells and the Skin
Stem cells can rejuvenate skin, restore hair, and aid in wound healing.
research Differential Molecular Signature of Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding and Non-Balding Scalp in 2D, 3D Culture and Co-Culture with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells
Dermal Papilla Cells grown in 3D and with stem cells better mimic natural hair growth conditions than cells grown in 2D.
research Ectodermal Organ Stem Cells: Morphogenesis, Population Regenerative Behavior, and Evolutionary Development
Different ectodermal organs like hair and feathers regenerate differently, with specific stem cells and signals involved in their growth and response to the environment.
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 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 Tight Junction Barriers in Human Hair Follicles – Role of Claudin-1
Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.
research Skin Structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research A Matter of Life and Death: Self-Renewal in Stem Cells
Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.
research Multifunctional Merkel Cells: Their Roles in Electromagnetic Reception, Fingerprint Formation, Reiki, Epigenetic Inheritance, and Hair Form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research New Potential Antiscarring Approaches
New antiscarring strategies show promise, including drugs, stem cells, and improved surgical techniques.
research Evaluation of Melatonin and Bromocryptine Administration in Spanish Goats
Melatonin treatment may increase cashmere production in Spanish goats.
research The Wonder of Herbs to Treat Alopecia
Herbs like aloe vera and amla are effective and safe for treating hair loss.
research Co-Expression Pattern of Artemis Serine 516 Phosphorylation with Indicators in Differentiation, Proliferation, and Apoptosis of Human Anagen Hair Follicles: An Immunofluorescence Double-Staining Study
Artemis protein may help control hair growth and health by influencing cell processes.
research Tfap2b Specifies an Embryonic Melanocyte Stem Cell That Retains Adult Multi-Fate Potential
The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research Effect of Polarized Light Therapy on Hair Regrowth in Alopecia Areata
Polarized light therapy helps hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
research Plasticity of Epithelial Stem Cells in Tissue Regeneration
Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
research Regeneration of a Bioengineered 3D Integumentary Organ System from iPS Cells
Scientists created a functional 3D skin system from stem cells that can be transplanted into wounds.
research Sox9 Expression in Canine Epithelial Skin Tumors
Sox9 is present in most canine skin tumors and may help understand stem cells' role in these cancers.
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 Development and Maintenance of Epidermal Stem Cells in Skin Appendages
Epidermal stem cells create and maintain skin structures like hair and nails through specific signaling pathways and vary by location and function.
research Regeneration, Wound Healing, and Cancer
The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor Under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Endocrinology, Brain, and Pituitary Gland
Hormones control reproduction and are crucial for body balance.
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 Regional Dermatology: Hair and Nail Biology, Hair Loss Conditions, and Dermatological Issues of the Mouth and Genital Regions
The document explains hair and nail biology, common hair loss conditions and treatments, oral and genital skin diseases, and the risks and treatments associated with squamous cell carcinoma.
research Hair
The document suggests using safer, plant-based hair products instead of harmful synthetic ones.
