research Retinoid Metabolism Is Altered in Human and Mouse Cicatricial Alopecia
Altered retinoid metabolism in cicatricial alopecia suggests a balanced vitamin A diet may prevent the condition.
research Sebaceous Immunobiology: Skin Homeostasis, Innate Immunity Coordination, Inflammatory Response, and Disease Associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research TNF-Inhibitor Associated Psoriatic Alopecia: Diagnostic Utility of Sebaceous Lobule Atrophy
Shrinking of oil glands in the skin is a key sign of hair loss linked to TNF inhibitor drugs and may improve if the treatment is stopped.
research What's New in Cicatricial Alopecia?
New treatments and early diagnosis methods for permanent hair loss due to scar tissue are important for managing its psychological effects.
research Acyl-CoA Binding Protein and Epidermal Barrier Function
ACBP is essential for healthy skin and fur by maintaining the skin's barrier function.
research Sebaceous Gland Abnormalities in Fatty Acyl CoA Reductase 2 (Far2) Null Mice Result in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
research Preventive Effects of Cedrol Against Alopecia in Cyclophosphamide-Treated Mice
Cedrol may prevent hair loss caused by chemotherapy better than minoxidil.
research Changes in the Sebaceous Gland in Patients with Male Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenic Alopecia)
Sebaceous glands in male pattern hair loss patients have more lobules and might cause early hair growth phase shifts.
research The Aetiopathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris: What's New?
Acne is caused by multiple factors including oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and possibly diet and environment.
research Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Protects CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Stem Cells Against Androgen-Induced Apoptosis Through the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Pathway in Patients With Androgenic Alopecia
