The tarsal glands of Meibom (glandulae tarsales) are large sebaceous glands located in the
eyelids and, unlike those of the skin, are unassociated with hairs. According to Duke-Elder …

Hair is a primary characteristic of mammals, and exerts a wide range of functions including
thermoregulation, physical protection, sensory activity, and social interactions. The hair shaft …

Mammalian epidermis consists of three self-renewing compartments: the hair follicle, the
sebaceous gland, and the interfollicular epidermis. We generated knock-in alleles of murine …

Interest in sebaceous gland physiology and its diseases is rapidly increasing. We provide a
summarized update of the current knowledge of the pathobiology of acne vulgaris and new …

The skin is the largest organ of the body and has an array of functions. Skin compartments,
epidermis, and hair follicles house stem cells that are indispensable for skin homeostasis …

Hair follicle morphogenesis depends on Wnt, Shh, Notch, BMP and other signaling
pathways interplay between epithelial and mesenchymal cells. The Wnt pathway plays an …

Embryonic hair follicle induction and formation are regulated by mesenchymal–epithelial
interactions between specialized dermal cells and epidermal stem cells that switch to a hair …

Cutaneous wound healing is a complex multiple phase process, which overlaps each other,
where several growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and various cells interact in a well …

In vivo variations in the concentrations of biomolecular species are inevitable. These
variations in turn propagate along networks of chemical reactions and modify the …

Satellite cells are resident myogenic progenitors in postnatal skeletal muscle involved in
muscle postnatal growth and adult regenerative capacity. Here, we identify and describe a …
