Nearly 50 years ago, Chase published a review of hair cycling in which he detailed hair
growth in the mouse and integrated hair biology with the biology of his day. In this review we …

Numerous strains of mice with defined mutations display pronounced abnormalities of hair
follicle cycling, even in the absence of overt alterations of the skin and hair phenotype; …

Skin stem cells can regenerate epidermal appendages; however, hair follicles (HF) lost as a
result of injury are barely regenerated. Here we show that macrophages in wounds activate …

The skin is a known target organ for the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived
neuropeptides α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-endorphin, and ACTH and …

The skin and its major appendages are prominent target organs and potent sources of key
players along the classical hypothalamic‐pituitary axis, such as corticotropin releasing …

Keratinocyte apoptosis is a central element in the regulation of hair follicle regression
(catagen), yet the exact location and the control of follicular keratinocyte apoptosis remain …

The skin containing melanin pigment acts as a protective barrier and counteracts the UVR
and other environmental stressors to maintain or restore disrupted cutaneous homeostasis …

Lysosomal cysteine proteinases of the papain family are involved in lysosomal bulk
proteolysis, major histocompatibility complex class II mediated antigen presentation …

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) are life‐
threatening diseases characterized by extensive epidermal destruction. The aim of our study …

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