research Phototherapy, Photomedicine, and Pigmentary Disorders
Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
research Bullous/Mucous Membrane
High blood pressure drugs often cause skin lupus, stopping the drug usually helps. A vaccine helps prevent genital herpes and HPV-16. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. No link was found between low iron and chronic hair loss.
research Skin Biopsy
Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.
research Identification of a Secreted BMP Antagonist, Ectodin, Integrating BMP, FGF, and SHH Signals from the Tooth Enamel Knot
Ectodin integrates BMP, SHH, and FGF signals in developing ectodermal organs.
research Cutaneous Tumors of Pilar Origin with Associated Syndromes
Some skin tumors from hair follicles and glands can be linked to genetic syndromes and may be benign or malignant.
research What Do We Know About Hair Growth Induced by Wounding and Its Therapeutic Applications?
Wounding may stimulate hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of related treatments.
research Scientific Highlights from the Society for Investigative Dermatology 2010 Annual Meeting
The meeting highlighted major advances in skin research, including new findings on skin microbes, genetic links to skin diseases, and improved treatments for various conditions.
research Rare Cutaneous Side Effects of Imiquimod: A Review on Its Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Management
Imiquimod can cause rare skin side effects, some irreversible, and long-term follow-up is important for users.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Wanted, Dead and Alive: Why a Multidisciplinary Approach Is Needed to Unlock Hair Treatment Potential
Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.
research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
research Efficient Scarless Skin Regeneration Enabled by Loading Micronized Amnion in a Bioinspired Adhesive Wound Dressing
A new hydrogel with micronized amnion helps achieve better, scar-free skin healing.
research Mechanical Force Drives the Initial Mesenchymal-Epithelial Interaction During Skin Organoid Development
Mechanical force is important for the first contact between skin cells and hair growth in mini-organs.
research Modulating Hair Follicle Size with Wnt10b/DKK1 During Hair Regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Correlation Between In Vivo Reflectance Confocal Microscopy and Horizontal Histopathology in Skin Cancer: A Review
Reflectance confocal microscopy reliably identifies skin cancer features like horizontal skin tissue sections.
research Dermal Niche Signaling and Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research Stimulatory Effect of Brazilian Propolis on Hair Growth Through Proliferation of Keratinocytes in Mice
Brazilian propolis was found to speed up hair growth in mice by increasing the growth of skin cells that form hair.
research Hair in Health and Disease: An Introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Highlighting Nuances of Blue Light Phototherapy: Mechanisms and Safety Considerations
