research MOF-Mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions by Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls key genes for skin development by regulating mitochondrial and ciliary functions.
research Loss of Langerhans Cells in Scar Lesion of Lichen Planopilaris Is Caused by Downregulation of Integrin αvβ6 in the Epidermal Keratinocytes
Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
research Endocrine-Skin Interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Dermatological Manifestations Associated with COVID-19: A Comprehensive Review of the Current Knowledge
COVID-19 can cause various skin issues, including rashes and hair loss, which usually heal on their own and don't always indicate severe illness.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
