research Minoxidil Is a Potential Neuroprotective Drug for Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Minoxidil may protect nerves and improve hair quality during paclitaxel treatment.
research Single Follicular Unit Transplantation Reconstructs Arrector Pili Muscle and Nerve Connections and Restores Functional Hair Follicle Piloerection
Hair transplant surgery can rebuild muscle and nerve connections, allowing transplanted hairs to stand up like normal hairs.
research T Cell and Bacterial Microbiota Interaction at Intestinal and Skin Epithelial Interfaces
T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.
research Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Mini-Organ
Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
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 Targeting the Wnt Pathways for Therapies
Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research A Role for p75 Neurotrophin Receptor in the Control of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research Inhibition of β-Catenin Signaling in Dermal Fibroblasts Enhances Hair Follicle Regeneration During Wound Healing
Blocking β-catenin in skin cells improves hair growth during wound healing.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: Annotated Tables
