    March 2018 in “ Experimental Dermatology ”
    Ewan A. Langan, Eleanor Hinde, Ralf Paus
    Studysummary This article argues that prolactin may have a role in sebaceous gland function and suggests it could be a potential target for treating skin conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.
