Did you mean Epidermal Proliferation?

Glossary Epidermal Proliferation

rapid cell division in skin's outermost layer

Epidermal proliferation refers to the process by which cells in the outermost layer of the skin, known as the epidermis, rapidly divide and multiply. This process is crucial for skin regeneration and repair, helping to replace dead or damaged cells and maintain the skin's protective barrier. In conditions like psoriasis, this proliferation can become excessive, leading to thickened, scaly patches of skin.

research Impaired Keratinocyte Proliferative and Clonogenic Potential in Transgenic Mice Overexpressing 14-3-3σ in the Epidermis

15 citations , June 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that overexpressing the 14-3-3σ protein in transgenic mice reduced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, leading to thinner epidermis and fewer hair follicles due to IGF-1 pathway inhibition.

research WIF1 Is Expressed by Stem Cells of the Human Interfollicular Epidermis and Acts to Suppress Keratinocyte Proliferation

18 citations , January 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

WIF1 helps keep skin stem cells inactive to prevent excessive cell growth.

research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis

28 citations , July 2007 in “Development”

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

research Physiological and retinoid-induced proliferations of epidermis basal keratinocytes are differently controlled

127 citations , July 2002 in “EMBO journal”

This study found that RXRα/RARγ heterodimers are necessary for retinoic acid-induced keratinocyte proliferation in the skin, while normal epidermal maintenance does not require RAR-mediated signaling.

research N,N-Dimethylglycine Sodium Salt Exerts Marked Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Various Dermatitis Models and Activates Human Epidermal Keratinocytes by Increasing Proliferation, Migration, and Growth Factor Release

July 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

This study found that N,N-dimethylglycine sodium salt promoted proliferation and migration of cultured human epidermal keratinocytes and had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in vitro.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)

in Research 461 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.

community Is tazarotene potentially better than tretinoin in combination with topical minoxidil?

1 upvotes 11 months ago

Tazarotene may be more effective than tretinoin when combined with topical minoxidil for hair loss due to its selective binding to RAR-beta and gamma, though it can cause irritation. Tazarotene's potency can lead to indirect inflammatory reactions despite potentially causing less irritation than tretinoin.

community Someone please offer reassurance

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 1 month ago

A 19-year-old male is experiencing hair shedding while using oral minoxidil, ketoconazole, dermastamping, and saw palmetto, and is considering switching to finasteride for better results. Users suggest that saw palmetto may not be effective and recommend finasteride instead, while also discussing other treatments like rosemary oil, peppermint oil, and pumpkin seed oil.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
