research Advances in Understanding Epigenetic Regulation of Plant Trichome Development: A Comprehensive Review
Tiny RNA molecules help control the growth of plant hairs.
research Dopa Oxidase Activity in Hair, Skin, and Ocular Melanocytes Is Increased in the Presence of Stressed Fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Dissecting Fibroblast Heterogeneity in Health and Fibrotic Disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in both healthy and diseased tissues, and understanding them better could improve treatments for fibrotic diseases.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes
Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.
research Cytokines
Cytokines are important for immune responses and treating diseases, but they can cause side effects like fever and skin issues.
research Ectopic Expression of a Truncated Isoform of Hair Keratin 81 in Breast Cancer Alters Biophysical Characteristics to Promote Metastatic Propensity
A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.
research Downstream Molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
Plant roots respond to fungus smells by possibly using certain proteins and a plant hormone to change root growth, but more research is needed.
research Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research Cutaneous Complications of Chemotherapeutic Agents
Chemotherapy can cause skin problems like hair loss, mouth sores, and skin darkening, and recognizing these can affect treatment decisions.
research Modeling Cell-Cell Communication for Immune Systems Across Space and Time
The document concludes that computational models are useful for understanding immune responses and could improve cancer immunotherapy.
research Mitoxantrone
Mitoxantrone is effective for treating acute leukemia, especially in older patients, with a lower risk of heart damage.
research Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, works better for women, and requires consistent use.
research Perspectives on Dermatopathology
Dermatopathology has made significant progress but many skin diseases remain incurable, requiring ongoing research.
research Finasteride as a Therapy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Finasteride improves hidradenitis suppurativa but not for child-bearing women.
research Neovascularization During Healing of Wounds Treated with Dermal Substitutes and Fibrin Glue in Nude Mice
Dermagraft and Dermalogen had a lot of granulation, while Alloderm, Integra, and ADM had good blood vessel growth for skin healing.
research Pollen Allergies in Humans and Their Dogs, Cats, and Horses: Differences and Similarities
Humans and pets share similar allergy mechanisms, and studying pet allergies can help treat both human and animal allergies.
research Keratin 79 Is a PPARA Target That Is Highly Expressed by Liver Damage
Keratin 79 is linked to liver damage and may help diagnose liver diseases.
research Region-Specific Reversal of Epidermal Planar Polarity in the Rosette Fancy Mouse
Hair follicles in the back of the rosette fancy mouse have reversed orientations due to a gene mutation.
research SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
research Solitary Pedunculated Multicystic Viral Plaque Associated with Canine Papillomavirus 18 in a British Bulldog
A British Bulldog had a unique viral plaque caused by Canine papillomavirus 18, different from typical tumors.
research Ultraviolet-Induced Red Fluorescence in Androgenetic Alopecia Indicating Alterations in Microbial Composition
Red fluorescence in AGA scalps is linked to different microbes.
research The Expression of Vitamin D-Upregulated Protein 1 in Skin and Its Interaction with Sciellin in Cultured Keratinocytes
VDUP1 is found in skin and hair follicles, interacts with sciellin, and may help regulate skin cell differentiation.
research Study of Seed Hair Growth in Populus Tomentosa, an Important Character of Female Floral Bud Development
Poplar seed hairs grow from the placenta at the ovary base, with endoreduplication playing a key role in their development, and share similar cellulose synthesis processes with cotton fibers.
research Staphylococcus Aureus Enters Hair Follicles Using Triacylglycerol Lipases Preserved Through the Genus Staphylococcus
Lipases, especially gehB, are crucial for Staphylococcus aureus to enter and colonize hair follicles.
research A Mutation in the Type II Hair Keratin KRT86 Gene in a Han Family with Monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Fine Structure and Immunocytochemistry of Monotreme Hairs, with Emphasis on the Inner Root Sheath and Trichohyalin-Based Cornification During Hair Evolution
Monotreme hair structure and protein distribution are similar to other mammals, but their inner root sheath cornifies differently, suggesting a unique evolution from reptile skin.
