Did you mean Terminal Differentiation?

Glossary Terminal Differentiation

cell's final development into a specialized, non-dividing state

Terminal differentiation is the process by which a cell undergoes its final stage of development, becoming a specialized cell type with a specific function, such as a skin cell or a neuron. Once a cell has terminally differentiated, it typically loses the ability to divide and produce new cells, focusing instead on performing its specialized role. This process is crucial for the proper functioning of tissues and organs in the body.

research The Nude Mutant Gene Foxn1 Is a HOXC13 Regulatory Target during Hair Follicle and Nail Differentiation

68 citations , December 2010 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study suggests a regulatory model where HOXC13 activates Foxn1, affecting hair and nail differentiation, supported by similarities in Hoxc13(tm1Mrc) and Foxn1(nu) mice phenotypes and gene expression patterns.

research Involucrin: A Constituent of Cross-Linked Envelopes and Marker of Squamous Maturation

23 citations , January 1986

This review discusses the chemical stability of protein envelopes found in the epidermis and other stratified squamous epithelia, but reports no new clinical results.

research Localization of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 2 (PAI-2) in Hair and Nail: Implications for Terminal Differentiation

42 citations , June 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study observed that PAI-2 is consistently expressed in differentiating cells of murine hair and nail, suggesting it may function as a marker of differentiation and possibly protect against premature cell death.

research Association of basonuclin with ability of keratinocytes to multiply and with absence of terminal differentiation.

104 citations , July 1994 in “The Journal of Cell Biology”

This study suggests that basonuclin in keratinocytes is likely a regulatory molecule linked to maintaining proliferative capacity and preventing terminal differentiation rather than a cell cycle marker.

research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23

January 2023 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology”

This study found that the synthetic retinoid EC23 effectively induces keratinocyte hyperproliferation and enhances hair growth in mice, showing more potency than all-trans retinoic acid.

community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.

7 upvotes 5 months ago

AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 2 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss

5 upvotes 7 years ago

HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
