9 citations
,
January 1975 in “PubMed” In this study, researchers using a mouse model found that the hairlessness in nude mice is likely due to a shared defect in the thymus and skin, not thymic dysgenesis alone.
16 citations
,
May 2015 in “Tissue Engineering Part C-methods” This study found that expanding hair follicle keratinocytes with a fibroblast feeder followed by short-term coculture with dermal papilla cells could restore their ability to form new hair follicles.
This article hypothesizes that thymoma with aplastic anemia may result from abnormal autoimmune CD8+ T lymphocytes produced by the thymoma, potentially leading to other cytotoxic T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
51 citations
,
August 2013 in “The Journal of experimental medicine/The journal of experimental medicine” This study found that Wnt secretion is important for maintaining skin homeostasis in mice, as Evi-deficient mice developed psoriasis-like skin lesions and had an imbalance in immune cell populations.
May 2018 in “The journal of immunology/The Journal of immunology” This study identified that patients with compound heterozygous mutations in FOXN1 exhibited severe T-cell lymphopenia but retained normal hair and nail development, indicating a distinct clinical phenotype from classic FOXN1 cases.
409 citations
,
May 1991 in “Genes & Development” This study observed that overexpression of TGF-alpha in transgenic mice led to thicker epidermis and stunted hair growth, particularly in regions with normally thick skin and low hair density.
46 citations
,
September 2023 in “Cell Reports” This study reports that sebaceous glands can regenerate after injury through stem cell plasticity, with hair-follicle-derived stem cells replacing sebaceous gland progenitors and playing a crucial role in the regeneration process, which is dependent on FGFR2 signaling and aided by hair growth induction.
