research Biocompatible Nanoparticles and Vesicular Systems in Transdermal Drug Delivery for Various Skin Diseases
Nanoparticles improve drug delivery through the skin but more research is needed on their long-term effects and skin penetration challenges.
research Alopecia Areata: A Multifactorial Autoimmune Condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research The IL-23/IL-17 Pathway in Inflammatory Skin Diseases: From Bench to Bedside
Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.
research A New Look at the 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Advances in Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia and Hair Loss: Wnt Pathway, Growth Factor, and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling Impact Analysis on Cell Growth and Hair Follicle Development
Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
research Exosomes for Repair, Regeneration, and Rejuvenation
Exosomes could potentially enhance tissue repair and regeneration with lower rejection risk and easier production than live cell therapies.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue in Clinical Applications for Dermatological Indications and Skin Aging
Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Stem Cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Potential of Nanoparticles as Permeation Enhancers and Targeted Delivery Options for Skin: Advantages and Disadvantages
Nanoparticles can improve skin drug delivery but have challenges like toxicity and stability that need more research.
research Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for Pathogenesis and Novel Management Strategies
Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
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 dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research Incorporation of Isotopically Labeled Cocaine and Metabolites into Human Hair: Dose-Response Relationships
Hair analysis can detect cocaine use but doesn't accurately show the amount or timing of use.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Physiological and Retinoid-Induced Proliferations of Epidermis Basal Keratinocytes Are Differently Controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research Structural Abnormalities of the Hair Shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Regulatory T Cells: The Many Faces of Foxp3
Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.
research Targeting the Janus Kinase Family in Autoimmune Skin Diseases
Janus kinase inhibitors are promising treatments for autoimmune skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Androgen Sensitivity Gateway to COVID-19 Disease Severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Resting No More: Redefining Telogen, the Maintenance Stage of the Hair Growth Cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Extraskeletal Actions of Vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Potassium Channel Therapeutics at the Bedside
Potassium channel openers are effective in treating heart conditions, high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, bladder issues, and hair loss, but more selective drugs are needed.
research Potassium Channel Openers: Pharmacological and Clinical Aspects
Potassium channel openers could help treat cardiovascular diseases and asthma but require better targeting to specific tissues for effective use.
research Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Revisited: An Update with a Special Focus on Adolescent and Adult Women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
