research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Epidermal Stem Cells: An Update on Their Potential in Regenerative Medicine
Epidermal stem cells have potential for personalized regenerative medicine but need careful handling to avoid cancer.
research Histopathological Characteristics May Not Be Useful in the Differential Diagnosis Between Basal Cell Carcinoma and Benign Tumors of Cutaneous Appendages Originating from Hair Follicle
Looking at tissue characteristics isn't reliable for telling apart basal cell carcinoma from certain benign skin tumors.
research A Benign Cause of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
A postmenopausal woman's excessive hair growth and hair loss were due to a non-cancerous ovarian condition, treated successfully with surgery.
research Ovarian Leydig Cell Tumor and Postmenopausal Hirsutism with Signs of Virilization
A woman's excessive hair growth and masculine features were due to a rare benign ovarian tumor and endometrial cancer, which improved after surgery.
research Indian Hedgehog Controls Proliferation and Differentiation in Skin Tumorigenesis and Protects Against Malignant Progression
Indian Hedgehog helps control skin cell growth and protects against aggressive skin cancer.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/- Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Overview of Ultrasound Imaging Applications in Dermatology
Ultrasound is a useful, non-invasive tool in dermatology for diagnosing skin conditions and guiding treatments, but it has some limitations.
research The Utility of Elastic Verhoeff-Van Gieson Staining in Dermatopathology
EVG staining is a valuable, simple, and cost-effective method for diagnosing various skin conditions in dermatopathology.
research Anti-Androgens
Effective treatments for excessive body hair in women include drugs that block androgens, sometimes combined with oral contraceptives.
research Discriminating Between Virilizing Ovary Tumors and Ovary Hyperthecosis in Postmenopausal Women: Clinical Data, Hormonal Profiles, and Imaging Studies
The research found that MRI and certain hormone levels can help tell apart ovarian tumors from hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, but tissue analysis is still needed for a definite diagnosis.
research Endocrine Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy: Current Concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research Distinct Expression Profile of Stem Cell Markers, LGR5 and LGR6, in Basaloid Skin Tumors
LGR5 and LGR6 are expressed differently in various skin tumors, which may offer clues about their origins.
research Diagnostic Pitfalls in Ovarian Androgen-Secreting (Leydig Cell) Tumors: Case Series
Ovarian Leydig cell tumors are hard to diagnose with just advanced imaging; expert ultrasound and clinical evaluation are essential.
research Incidental Clear Cell Syringoma of the Scalp in a Patient With Lichen Planopilaris
A woman with hair loss had a benign sweat duct tumor found during a scalp biopsy.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Combination of an Antiandrogen and a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Further Step Towards Total Androgen Blockade?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Comprehensive Review
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are crucial for preventing serious health issues and improving patient outcomes.
research Current Applications of High-Frequency Ultrasonography in Dermatology
High-frequency ultrasonography is a useful but underused tool in dermatology for assessing skin cancers, monitoring diseases, and evaluating treatments.
research The TFIID Subunit TAF4 Regulates Keratinocyte Proliferation and Has Cell-Autonomous and Non-Cell-Autonomous Tumor Suppressor Activity in Mouse Epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.
research Endocrinopathies and Other Disorders Inducing a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotype
Some conditions mimic PCOS symptoms and need careful diagnosis to treat potentially serious health issues.
research Clinical Utility of GnRH Analogues in Female Androgen Excess: Highlighting Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
GnRH analogues are effective for diagnosing and treating female androgen excess, offering a non-surgical option.
research Molecular Principles of Hair Follicle Induction and Morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
