research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
research The Epidermal Vitamin D System and Innate Immunity: Some More Light Shed on This Unique Photoendocrine System?
Vitamin D made by the skin plays a role in immune defense and skin health, and more research is needed to understand its full effects.
research Lifting the Biofilm Lid on the Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Effects of Sodium Hypochlorite Against Staphylococcus Aureus in Atopic Dermatitis
Sodium hypochlorite can effectively prevent and remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in atopic dermatitis at high enough concentrations.
research Editors' Picks
Activin increases skin tumor formation, skin Tregs help hair growth, lymph-node removal doesn't improve melanoma survival, cells can revert to stem cells in wound healing, and skin bacteria produce peptides that may treat infections.
research Bone Metabolism in Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Case-Control Study

research Protein Disulfide Isomerase-Mediated Grafting of Cysteine-Containing Peptides onto Over-Bleached Hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Hydra And The Hair Follicle – An Unconventional Comparative Biology Approach To Exploring The Human Holobiont
Hydra can help understand human hair follicle microbiomes and develop new skin disease therapies.
research Induction of Human Hair Growth Using Vascularized 3D Hair Follicle Constructs
Researchers created a 3D-printed skin model that grew human hair when grafted onto mice by improving blood supply to the grafts.
research Proteomic Tools for the Investigation of Human Hair Structural Proteins and Evidence of Weakness Sites on Hair Keratin Coil Segments
Hair proteins have weak spots in their α-helical segments.
research The Role of Vitamin D in Non-Scarring Alopecia
Low vitamin D might be linked to certain types of hair loss, and supplements could help, but more research is needed.
research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer
Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
