research The Regeneration of Caudal Epidermal Specializations in Lygodactylus Picturatus Keniensis (Gekkonidae, Lacertilia)
Lizards can regrow their tail scales with the same structure, distribution, and gender-specific features as the original ones, and this unique ability is not seen in adult mammals.
research Challenges to PrEP Use and Perceptions of Urine Tenofovir Adherence Monitoring Reported by Individuals on PrEP
This study explored challenges in accessing and adhering to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among participants from a large U.S. urban clinical center and evaluated the effectiveness of urine tenofovir (TFV) monitoring for adherence. It found that 65% of participants began PrEP within 1-3 months of learning about it, though 35% faced providers unwilling to prescribe it. The main barrier to adherence was remembering to take the medication (44%), rather than cost or stigma. Urine TFV monitoring was well-received, with participants preferring it every 3 months over other methods like finger prick or hair follicle testing. The study underscored the need to reduce obstacles to PrEP use and supported urine TFV monitoring as a reliable adherence measure.
research Derma Rollers in Therapy: The Transition from Cosmetics to Transdermal Drug Delivery
Derma rollers show promise for skin improvement and drug delivery, but more research is needed on their safety and effectiveness.

research Targeted Delivery of Zinc Pyrithione to Skin Epithelia
Zinc pyrithione needs targeted delivery to the scalp for effective dandruff treatment.
research Keratinocytes as Depository of Ammonium-Inducible Glutamine Synthetase: Age- and Anatomy-Dependent Distribution in Human and Rat Skin
The study investigated the distribution and regulation of glutamine synthetase (GS) in human and rat skin, focusing on age and regional differences. GS, crucial for glutamine production, was found to co-localize with astrocyte-specific proteins and was prominently present in the epidermis of young skin, with reduced and varied distribution in older skin. The study revealed that GS activity in keratinocytes increased 8-10 fold in response to ammonium ions, despite no change in expression levels, indicating a posttranscriptional regulation mechanism. This suggests that the skin acts as a significant reservoir of GS, essential for maintaining the epidermal barrier and responding to conditions like hyperammonemia.
research Cultural Sensitivity and Challenges in Management of the Transgender Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease in Transplantation
Healthcare providers need better understanding and cultural sensitivity to improve care for transgender patients with kidney failure needing transplants.
