Hair follicle (HF) development is the result of neuroectodermal–mesodermal interactions,
and can be divided into morphologically distinguishable stages (induction, organogenesis …

Epithelial–mesenchymal interactions play pivotal roles in the morphogenesis of many
organs and various types of appendages. During hair follicle development, extensive …

Genome-wide association studies have identified many loci associated with hair and skin
disease, but identification of causal variants requires deciphering of gene-regulatory …

Hox proteins are well known for executing highly specific functions in vivo, but our
understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation by these …

Beta-caryophyllene is an odoriferous bicyclic sesquiterpene found in various herbs and
spices. Recently, it was found that beta-caryophyllene is a ligand of the cannabinoid …

Elucidation of the genes encoding structural proteins of the human hair follicle has
advanced rapidly during the last decade, complementing nearly three previous decades of …

Using conditional gene targeting in mice, we show that BMP receptor IA is essential for the
differentiation of progenitor cells of the inner root sheath and hair shaft. Without BMPRIA …

In mammals, hair follicles produce hairs that fulfill a number of functions including
thermoregulation, collecting sensory information, protection against environmental trauma …

The hair follicle is a cyclic biological system that progresses through stages of growth,
regression, and quiescence, which involves dynamic changes in a program of gene …

Hair loss affects millions of people at some time in their life, and safe and efficient treatments
for hair loss are a significant unmet medical need. We report that topical delivery of quercetin …
