research A Model System for Long-Term Serum-Free Suspension Organ Culture of Human Fetal Tissues: Experiments on Digits and Skin from Multiple Body Regions
Scientists developed a method to grow human fetal skin and digits in a lab for 3-4 weeks, which could help study skin features and understand genetic interactions in tissue formation.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma for Hair Restoration
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a substance from a patient's own blood, can stimulate hair regrowth in people with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) who haven't had success with other treatments, but more research is needed to optimize its use.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Microneedling Versus 5% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss
Minoxidil works faster and is more cost-effective for treating hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma microneedling can be an alternative for those who can't use minoxidil.
research Wound Healing, Cutaneous Therapy, Hair
A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
research Testosterone and Female Sexuality: A Skeptical View
Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.
research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
research Immunology
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, early treatment is key for baby herpes and diabetic foot ulcers, a certain vaccine works against genital herpes and HPV in women, more frequent light therapy helps psoriasis, smoking and drinking can worsen psoriasis, a cream clears up a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't cause chronic hair loss.
research Phototherapy, Photomedicine, and Pigmentary Disorders
Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
research Salvage Therapy for Prostate Cancer: AUA/ASTRO/SUO Guideline Part II: Treatment Delivery for Non-Metastatic Biochemical Recurrence After Primary Radical Prostatectomy
Adding hormone therapy to radiation improves survival for high-risk prostate cancer recurrence but has side effects.
research Beta-Caryophyllene Enhances Wound Healing Through Multiple Routes
Beta-caryophyllene, found in essential oils, helps wounds heal better in multiple ways.
research Immunohistochemical Analysis of the Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin and Hypoxia Signaling Pathways in Basal Cell Carcinoma and Trichoepithelioma
The study found that analyzing certain cell signaling pathways is not a reliable method to tell apart two types of skin tumors.
research Molecular Correlation With Clinical Outcomes in an Open Label Clinical Trial of Oral Tofacitinib in Patients With Alopecia Areata
Tofacitinib helped most patients with alopecia areata regrow hair and changes in immune cells were linked to the treatment's effectiveness.
research Hair Follicle-Derived IL-7 and IL-15 Mediate Skin-Resident Memory T Cell Homeostasis and Lymphoma
Hair follicle-derived IL-7 and IL-15 are crucial for maintaining skin-resident memory T cells and could be targeted for treating skin diseases and lymphoma.
research Hair Regenerative Mechanisms of Red Ginseng Oil and Its Major Components in the Testosterone-Induced Delay of Anagen Entry in C57BL/6 Mice
Red ginseng oil and its components help promote hair regrowth and could treat hair loss.
research Scabicidal Potential of Coconut Seed Extract in Rabbits via Downregulating Inflammatory/Immune Cross-Talk: A Comprehensive Phytochemical/GC-MS and In Silico Proof
Coconut seed extract may effectively treat scabies in rabbits by killing mites and reducing inflammation.
research Characteristics of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers of the Cutaneous Perioral and Vermilion Lip Treated by Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery is effective for early-stage non-melanoma skin cancers on the lips, with basal cell carcinoma more common on the upper cutaneous lip and squamous cell carcinoma more common on the lower vermilion lip.
