A new study has identified a protein that appears to be essential for hair growth and hair follicle protection. Called MCL‑1, it could potentially be targeted by treatments for certain kinds of ...

Ovarian follicles are essential for female fertility, forming during fetal development and establishing a finite reserve of approximately one million primordial follicles.

Ovarian follicles are small, fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries, which are glands located on either side of the uterus. The ovaries contain thousands of follicles, and each month one ruptures to release ...

A team led by scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has 3D-printed hair follicles in human skin tissue cultured in the lab. This marks the first time researchers have used the technology to ...

Summary: A new study uncovered a previously unknown mechanism in hair follicles that allows us to detect touch. Previously, sensation was attributed only to nerve endings in the skin, but this study ...

Hair follicles are small, pocket-like holes in our skin. As the name suggests, they grow hair. The average human has about 100,000 hair follicles on the scalp alone. We’ll explore what hair ...

or by multiple hair papillae fusing together.” One last hypothesis is that the germ cells, or the “embryos” of the follicles, get reactivated to create multiple shafts. Regardless of what ...

Abstract: every woman has two ovaries. Ovaries have several follicles, which consist of oocytes or eggs which are filled with granulosa cells. Some women can have a difference in the number of ...

De novo organ regeneration has been observed in several lower organisms, as well as rodents; however, demonstrating these regenerative properties i ...

An ovarian follicle is a fluid-filled sac in the ovary containing an egg that has not yet matured. During the menstrual cycle, an egg matures, the follicle opens,and releases the egg, preparing it ...

We can add functional mouse hair follicles to body parts that scientists have successfully grown in the lab, outside the body. Using cells obtained from embryonic mice, for the first time researchers ...
