September 1998 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This article reviews the role of androgen in male pattern hair loss and its impact on hair follicle miniaturization, but it does not present new research findings.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 in keratinocytes promotes wound healing in mice by expanding hair follicle stem cells, independent of changes in keratinocyte proliferation or migration.
3 citations
,
January 2016 in “Skin appendage disorders” This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with diffuse nonscarring alopecia characterized by hair thinning, increased catagen/telogen follicles, and mild inflammatory infiltrate, highlighting the diagnostic findings via scalp dermoscopy and biopsy.

1 citations
,
December 2024 in “Tissue Barriers” In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to evaluate mechanical stiffness across different skin layers in six participants, finding the highest stiffness in the epidermis and lower stiffness as layers progress to subcutaneous tissue, enhancing understanding of skin's physical properties and aiding future research.
July 2026 in “International Journal of Pharmaceutics X” In this study, researchers developed a biopolymer-based dual-layer wound dressing that significantly improved healing outcomes in a 14-day rat model, reporting 94% wound closure by day 15 and enhanced tissue regeneration, swelling properties, and cell viability.
351 citations
,
February 2010 in “Nature Cell Biology” Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.

,
July 2014 in “Molecular pharmaceutics” This study found that MPEG-dihexPLA micelles significantly improved the skin deposition of tacrolimus compared to a marketed ointment, suggesting better targeted delivery with reduced systemic absorption.
March 2021 in “Cell stem cell” This study found that actomyosin contractility in suprabasal keratinocytes influences the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem/progenitor cells by acting as a niche element in the skin.
17 citations
,
June 2017 in “Journal of pharmaceutical sciences” This study found that adapalene-loaded nanospheres in a hyaluronic acid gel enhanced skin penetration and were nonirritant, making them potentially suitable for treating acne on oily skin.
