research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Eph/Ephrin Signaling in Epidermal Differentiation and Disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Gab1 and MAPK Signaling Are Essential in the Hair Cycle and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence
Gab1 protein is crucial for hair growth and stem cell renewal, and Mapk signaling helps maintain these processes.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Targeted Overexpression of the Angiogenesis Inhibitor Thrombospondin-1 in the Epidermis of Transgenic Mice Prevents Ultraviolet-B-Induced Angiogenesis and Cutaneous Photo-Damage
Overexpressing thrombospondin-1 in mice skin prevents UVB-induced skin damage.
research Procyanidin Oligomers Counteract TGF-β1- and TGF-β2-Induced Apoptosis in Hair Epithelial Cells: An Insight into Their Mechanisms
Procyanidin compounds from apples and barley promote hair growth and prevent hair cell death.
research Establishment and Characterization of Matched Immortalized Human Frontal and Occipital Scalp Dermal Papilla Cell Lines from Androgenetic Alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research Platycladus Orientalis Leaf Extract Promotes Hair Growth Via Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinase ACK1 Activation
Platycladus orientalis leaf extract helps hair grow by activating certain proteins.
research MHC Class I-Like MILL Molecules Are β2-Microglobulin-Associated, GPI-Anchored Glycoproteins That Do Not Require TAP for Cell Surface Expression
MILL molecules are unique immune proteins in mice that don't need TAP to appear on cell surfaces.
research Pediatric Dermatology
Skin problems are common in Bangladesh due to arsenic, prompt treatment of diabetic foot ulcers is crucial, maternal transmission causes most neonatal herpes, treatments for pediatric vasculitis are effective, the chickenpox vaccine works, more frequent UVB therapy helps psoriasis, certain jobs increase hand dermatitis risk, monoclonal antibodies treat psoriasis well, lifestyle affects psoriasis, alefacept improves psoriasis, imiquimod cream partially clears basal cell carcinoma, and iron may not help chronic hair loss.
research The Notch Intracellular Domain Has an RBPj-Independent Role During Mouse Hair Follicular Development
The Notch signaling pathway helps in mouse hair development through a noncanonical mechanism that does not rely on RBPj or transcription.
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 Mendelian Randomization Study Highlights Hypothyroidism as a Causal Determinant of Alopecia Areata
The study suggests that hypothyroidism may cause alopecia areata.
research Current and Potential Agents for the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Current and future treatments for alopecia areata focus on immunosuppression, immunomodulation, and protecting hair follicles.
research Hypopigmented Mycosis Fungoides in a Child Successfully Treated with UVA1 Light
UVA1-light therapy successfully treated a child's skin condition, mycosis fungoides.
research Transcriptome Meta-Analysis Confirms the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Pathogenic Triad: Upregulated Inflammation, Altered Epithelial Organization, and Dysregulated Metabolic Signaling
The research confirms that Hidradenitis Suppurativa is characterized by increased inflammation, disrupted skin cell organization, and abnormal metabolic processes.
research What's New in the Histologic Evaluation of Alopecia and Hair-Related Disorders?
New biopsy techniques and tools improve alopecia diagnosis, and both too much and too little selenium can cause hair loss.
research Surprisingly Low Infertility Rate in Married Type 2 Diabetic Women: A Curious Paradox to the Current Opinion of Insulin Resistance as the Joint Pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Married women with type 2 diabetes had a surprisingly low infertility rate, suggesting type 2 diabetes and PCOS may be different conditions.
research The Compatibility of Bacillus Thuringiensis Cry Protein-Solubilizing Buffers with the Droplet Feeding Method in Fall Armyworm Larvae
Thymosin beta 4 protects cells from damage by blocking a harmful microRNA and boosting a protective gene.
research The Effect of Glycyrrhizic Acid and Aqueous Licorice Extract on Hair Growth Retardation: In Vitro Mechanistic and Efficacy Studies in Human
