Major shifts in genomic activity accompany progression through different stages of the hair cycleThomas Schlake
Department of Developmental Immunology, Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, D 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Gene Expr Patterns 4:141-52. 2004..Expression of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins and anti-angiogenic factors is associated with the regression phase of the hair cycle...
FGF signals specifically regulate the structure of hair shaft medulla via IGF-binding protein 5Thomas Schlake
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Development 132:2981-90. 2005..Thus, the results identify Igfbp5-mediated FGFR2-IIIb signals as a key regulator of the genetic program that controls the structure of the hair shaft medulla...
Segmental Igfbp5 expression is specifically associated with the bent structure of zigzag hairsThomas Schlake
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, D 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Mech Dev 122:988-97. 2005..Both effects and the natural bending process are under negative control of IGF signalling. Thus, our data identify Igfbp5 as a central regulator of hair shaft differentiation and hair type determination...
Krox20, a novel candidate for the regulatory hierarchy that controls hair shaft bendingThomas Schlake
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Freiburg, Germany
Mech Dev 123:641-8. 2006..Our data suggest Krox20 as a nodal point of FGF and IGF signalling pathways controlling Igfbp5 expression which is associated with hair shaft differentiation and may generate the periodicity of the zigzag hair...
Determination of hair structure and shapeThomas Schlake
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Semin Cell Dev Biol 18:267-73. 2007..This review highlights our current knowledge of the control of hair structure and shape with emphasis on mouse hair follicle biology and discusses continuing problems...
The nude gene and the skinT Schlake
Department of Developmental Immunology, Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, D 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Exp Dermatol 10:293-304. 2001..Furthermore, these studies give a hint as to when the nude gene has occurred first and how it has developed in molecular and functional terms since then...
Canonical WNT signalling controls hair follicle spacingThomas Schlake
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Freiburg, Germany
Cell Adh Migr 1:149-51. 2007..Furthermore, we suggest future experiments to challenge the RD model of spatial follicle arrangement...
Expression domains in the skin of genes affected by the nude mutation and identified by gene expression profilingT Schlake
Department of Developmental Immunology, Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, D 79108, Freiburg, Germany
Mech Dev 109:419-22. 2001..Our results identify metallothionein IV among these genes. This is the first report on metallothionein IV expression in the murine hair follicle; its expression domain almost completely overlaps that of Whn...
Localization of Shh expression by Wnt and Eda affects axial polarity and shape of hairsBrigitte Hammerschmidt
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Dev Biol 305:246-61. 2007..Moreover, the identified molecular hierarchy offers a model for the periodic patterning of zigzag hairs mechanistically similar to mesodermal segmentation...
Igf-I signalling controls the hair growth cycle and the differentiation of hair shaftsNicole Weger
Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Freiburg, Germany
J Invest Dermatol 125:873-82. 2005..Finally, Pdgfralpha was identified as the first molecular target that is affected in Igf-I transgenic mice. In summary, our data identify IGF-I signalling as an important mitogenic and morphogenetic regulator in hair follicle biology...
WNT and DKK determine hair follicle spacing through a reaction-diffusion mechanismStefanie Sick
Max-Planck Institute of Immunobiology, Stuebeweg 51, 79108 Freiburg, Germany
Science 314:1447-50. 2006..These results confirm predictions of a WNT/DKK-specific mathematical model and provide in vivo corroboration of the reaction-diffusion mechanism for epidermal appendage formation...
Igfbp3 modulates cell proliferation in the hair follicleNicole Weger
J Invest Dermatol 125:847-9. 2005
