Exploring Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Skin Homeostasis and Hair Growth. MicroRNAs in Hair-cycle-Dependent Gene Regulation, Hair Growth and Associated Tissue Remodelling.
The hair follicle (HF) is a cyclic biological system that progresses through stages of growth, regression and quiescence, each being characterized by unique patterns of gene activation and silencing. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critically important for gene silencing and delineating their role in hair …

Tamed: Hair and Female Subjectivity
… artistic exploration. Through using the image of hair as a metaphor, my art practice concerns the social and cultural containment imposed on women, revealing the dilemmas and obstacles that women experience in their lives. Technically, I have investigated ways of coalescing Western drawing methods …

The role of miRNA-486-5p in hair growth and the hair follicle immune privilege
… their role in regulation of apoptosis and hair loss in alopecia areata (AA) is largely unknown, which became the aim of this study. In AA mouse model (C3H/HeJ), global miRNA profiling revealed 22 miRNAs with significant changes in their expression in AA affected skin. Amongst these miRNAs, …

Prolactin signalling in murine hair growth
Although prolactin has been shown to entrain hair growth cycles in seasonally responsive mammals, no comparable role has been identified in the age-dependent pelage replacement of rodents. Prolactin binds to dimerised membrane-associated prolactin receptors (PRLR) on target organs and initiates …

Molecular Regulation of Hair Follicle Morphogenesis
… cells during embryogenesis. Morphogenesis of hair follicles is initiated when a series of reciprocal interactions between this undifferentiated ectoderm and its underlying mesenchyme leads to a localized invagination of epithelial cells. As hair follicle development proceeds, stem cells are …

Light Stimulation of Sensory Hair Cells
<p>Hair cells are the mechanosensory detectors that underlie our senses of audition and balance. Their mechanosensitivity arises from direct gating of force-sensitive ion channels by the tension in tip links located at the tops of the stereocilia. The study of hair cells and their mechanically …

Tuning of the Active Hair Bundle
… upon a population of several thousand sensory hair cells to amplify and transduce acoustic, seismic, and kinesthetic signals. Each hair cell detects mechanical disturbances by means of its hair bundle, a motile organelle consisting of actin-filled, villous projections (called stereocilia) …
