VEGF helps squamous cell carcinoma grow in ways beyond just blood vessel formation.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Herpes Zoster Precipitating First Attack of Neuromyelitis Optica Along with Perinuclear Anti-Neutrophilic Cytoplasmic Antibody Positive Vasculitis
A woman's shingles infection triggered her first episode of a rare neurological disorder and blood vessel inflammation.
research Hair Growth Control by Innate Immunocytes: Perifollicular Macrophages Revisited
Immune cells around hair follicles help control hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research A Missing Piece: The Spiny Mouse And The Puzzle Of Menstruating Species
The spiny mouse is a unique menstruating rodent that can help us understand menstruation and reproductive disorders.
research A Human Prenatal Skin Cell Atlas Reveals Immune Cell Regulation of Skin Morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Autotaxin–Lysophosphatidic Acid–LPA3 Signaling at the Embryo-Epithelial Boundary Controls Decidualization Pathways
LPA3 signaling in the uterus is crucial for placental formation and fetal development.
research Topically Applied Thyroid Hormones Stimulate Hair Growth in Organ-Cultured Human Scalp Skin
Applying thyroid hormones to the scalp can help hair grow.
research Lean Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS in lean women is a serious health condition with implications beyond fertility, affecting metabolism and increasing cardiovascular disease risk.
research Clinical Snippets: Skin Surface Area, Skin Flap Therapy, Atopic Dermatitis Trials, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Incidence, and Aging Skin Inflammation
Skin has a larger surface area than thought, certain skin cells improve skin flap survival, better trials for skin conditions in children are needed, Stevens-Johnson syndrome rates vary by age and race, and better skin barrier function may reduce inflammation in the elderly.
research Control of Hair Growth and Follicle Size by VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.
research Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and the PTH Receptor Regulate Angiogenesis of the Skin
PTHrP and its receptor can control blood vessel growth and hair development in mouse skin.
research Capillaroscopic Patterns in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis, Psoriasis, and Alopecia and Their Correlations with Serum Concentrations of Several Angiogenic Markers
Blood vessel patterns in skin diseases relate to certain blood markers in systemic sclerosis but not in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, and may indicate circulation issues in alopecia.
research Improvement of Endothelial Function with Metformin and Rosiglitazone Treatment in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.
research Angiokeratomas Scroti Associated with Angiokeratomas of the Eyelids: Coincidence or One Entity? A Case Report and Review of the Literature
The report suggests that the same underlying issue in blood vessel support may cause angiokeratomas on both the scrotum and eyelids.
research Cutaneous Thrombosis and ANCA-Positive Vasculitis Associated with Propylthiouracil Therapy
Propylthiouracil, a thyroid medication, can cause skin blood clots and immune-related blood vessel inflammation.
research Single-Cell Profiling Reveals a Potent Role of Quercetin in Promoting Hair Regeneration
Quercetin significantly helps hair growth by activating hair follicles and improving blood vessel formation around them.
research Paracrine Crosstalk Between Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells and Microvascular Endothelial Cells
Cells from the base of hair follicles help blood vessel cells survive and grow, which is important for healthy hair.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Ovarian Hemangioma With Stromal Luteinization
The removed ovarian tumor was a rare type of blood vessel tumor that improved the patient's symptoms and hormone levels after surgery.
research Non-Hemorrhage-Related Adverse Effects of Rivaroxaban
Rivaroxaban can cause liver injury, allergic reactions, blood vessel inflammation, and hair loss, but these side effects are rare.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Horizontal and Vertical Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens from Dermatomyositis Patients with Scalp Involvement
Scalp biopsies from dermatomyositis patients show chronic hair loss without scarring, with mucin and blood vessel changes being very common.
