Research cited in this study

4 / 4 results

research Identification of Sirtuin 1 as a Promising Therapeutic Target for Hypertrophic Scars

36 citations , February 2016 in “British journal of pharmacology”

This study found that SIRT1 negatively regulates fibroblast activation and excessive scar formation, suggesting it may be a promising drug target for treating hypertrophic scars.

research New Approach to the Understanding of Keloid: Psychoneuroimmune-Endocrine Aspects

21 citations , February 2015 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology”

This review explores the "brain-skin connection" and presents evidence suggesting keloids may be influenced by psychosocial stress, although it reports no new experimental results.

Neuronal Plasticity of the Brain-Skin Connection: Stress-Triggered Up-Regulation of Neuropeptides in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Skin via Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Pathways

research Neuronal Plasticity of the Brain-Skin Connection: Stress-Triggered Up-Regulation of Neuropeptides in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Skin via Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Pathways

66 citations , July 2007 in “Journal of Molecular Medicine”

This study in mice demonstrated that stress or nerve growth factor injection increases sensory neuron activity related to skin innervation, suggesting a strong connection between stress perception and neurogenic skin inflammation.

research Burden of Hair Loss: Stress and the Underestimated Psychosocial Impact of Telogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia

162 citations , August 2004 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study suggests that stress negatively affects hair growth by inducing inflammation and early hair cycle transitions in mice, which might inform strategies for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.
