research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research Role of Collagen VI in Peripheral Nerves and Wound-Induced Hair Regrowth
Collagen VI is crucial for nerve function and affects wound-induced hair regrowth.
research Somatosensory Organization and Behavior in Naked Mole-Rats: Peripheral Structures, Innervation, and Selective Lack of Neuropeptides Associated with Thermoregulation and Pain
Naked mole-rats have unique skin and hair nerve structures, lacking certain pain and temperature-related neuropeptides.
research The Pathological Culprit of Neuropathic Skin Pain in Long COVID-19 Patients: A Case Series
Long COVID-19 patients with skin pain might have a nerve condition that responds to a medication called gabapentin.
research The Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Intralesional Botulinum Toxin A Injection for Recalcitrant Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis
Botulinum toxin A injections may help treat difficult cases of total hair loss.
research Expression Patterns of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Neurturin, Their Cognate Receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and Common Signal Transduction Element c-Ret in Human Skin Hair Follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Neuronal Plasticity of the Brain-Skin Connection: Stress-Triggered Up-Regulation of Neuropeptides in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Skin via Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Tactile Innervation Densities Across the Whole Body
The skin has about 230,000 touch-sensitive nerve fibers, with high concentrations in the hands and face.
research Tactile Innervation Densities Across the Whole Body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Concise Review: Tissue-Engineered Skin and Nerve Regeneration in Burn Treatment
New methods for skin and nerve regeneration can improve healing and feeling after burns.
research Follicle-Innervating Aδ-Low Threshold Mechanoreceptors Organize Through a Population-Dependent Mechanism
Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.
research Photobiomodulation in Cells' Repair
Photobiomodulation helps reduce pain, lessen inflammation, heal wounds, and can be used in skin treatments. It also boosts hair growth in women with hair loss and may help fight microbes and prevent respiratory issues in COVID-19.
research Correlation of Monosynaptic Field Potentials Evoked by Single Action Potentials in Single Primary Afferent Axons and Their Bouton Distributions in the Dorsal Horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Sensory Reinnervation of Human Skin by Human Neural Stem Cell-Derived Peripheral Neurons Ex Vivo
Human skin can be reconnected to nerves using stem cells, which may help with skin health and healing.
research Montagna Symposium 2016: The Skin, Our Sensory Organ for Itch, Pain, Touch, and Pleasure
The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.
research The Functional Organization of Cutaneous Low-Threshold Mechanosensory Neurons
Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.
research Crystallin Fusion Proteins Improve the Thermal Properties of Hair
Fusion proteins can protect hair from heat damage.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Hair Growth Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Supportive Cryotherapy: A Review From Head to Toe
Cryotherapy helps reduce chemotherapy side effects but needs more research for best use.
