Mapping the expression of epithelial hair follicle stem cell-related transcription factors LHX2 and SOX9 in the human hair follicle.

Purba TS1, Haslam IS1, Shahmalak A2, Bhogal RK3, Paus R1,4.
Experimental dermatology.Exp Dermatol.2015 Jun;24(6):462-7. doi: 10.1111/exd.12700.
In the murine hair follicle (HF), the transcription factors LHX2 and SOX9 are implicated in epithelial hair follicle stem cell (eHFSC) self-renewal and the maintenance of eHFSC niche characteristics. However, the exact expression patterns of LHX2 and SOX9 in the human HF are unclear. Therefore, we h

A two-stepped culture method for efficient production of trichogenic keratinocytes.

Chan CC1, Fan MY, Wang WH, Mu YF, Lin SJ.
Tissue engineering. Part C, Methods.Tissue Eng Part C Methods.2015 May 7. [Epub ahead of print]
Successful hair follicle neogenesis in adult life depends on existence of both capable dermal cells and competent epidermal keratinocytes that recapitulate embryonic organogenesis through epithelial-mesenchymal interaction. In tissue engineering, the maintenance of trichogenic potential of adult epi

Tri-allelic pattern of short tandem repeats identifies the murderer among identical twins and suggests an embryonic mutational origin.

Wang LF1, Yang Y2, Zhang XN2, Quan XL3, Wu YM4.
Forensic science international. Genetics.Forensic Sci Int Genet.2015 May;16:239-45. doi: 10.1016/j.fsigen.2015.01.010. Epub 2015 Feb 11.
Monozygotic twins can be co-identified by genotyping of short tandem repeats (STRs); however, for distinguishing them, STR genotyping is ineffective, especially in the case of murder. Here, a rarely occurring tri-allelic pattern in the vWA locus (16, 18, 19) was identified only in the DNA of one ide

Steady and Temporary Expressions of Smooth Muscle Actin in Hair, Vibrissa, Arrector Pili Muscle, and Other Hair Appendages of Developing Rats

Morioka Kiyokazu,Arai Mary,Ihara Setsunosuke
ACTA HISTOCHEMICA ET CYTOCHEMICA advpub(0), 1106240112, 2011
… The hair erection muscle, arrector pili, is a kind of smooth muscle located in the mammalian dermis. … The arrector pili muscle was not detected in the mystacial pad during any stage of development, even in the neighboring pelage-type hair follicle. … A strong signal of SMA in the skin was located in the dermal sheath as well as in some outer root sheath cells in the hair and vibrissal follicles. …
