April 2016 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study reports that cannabinoid receptor type 1 may influence psoriasis development by modulating laminin-511 expression, suggesting a potential target for treatment.
April 2016 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that targeting the tumor stroma to promote the formation of dermal condensates may offer a novel approach to treating basal cell carcinoma.
This study found that dermal papilla-like tissues derived from canine adipose stem cells promoted new hair follicle formation and increased vascularization in athymic nude mice.
May 2015 in “Cancer research” This study found that persistent significant alopecia was a common side effect following FEC-docetaxel chemotherapy, with a 33.4% global incidence, highlighting the need for awareness and potential preventative measures like cooling caps during treatment.
May 2015 in “Cancer Research” This study found that a new treatment candidate may effectively prevent and promote recovery from chemotherapy-induced alopecia by normalizing apoptosis and reducing inflammation in cancer patients.
January 2015 in “CU Scholar (University of Colorado Boulder)” This research found that Foxc1 is critical for maintaining quiescence in activated hair follicle stem cells and that the cancer cell-of-origin influences tumor heterogeneity in mouse skin squamous cell carcinoma.
October 2014 in “Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology” Genetic testing for cancer risk can lead to early and life-saving treatments in people without symptoms.
October 2014 in “Cancer Research” This study observed that applying a GMP-grade botanical extract to the scalp increased Bcl-2 levels, potentially preventing premature hair follicle apoptosis in chemotherapy and radiotherapy-induced alopecia.
August 2014 in “Plastic Surgery” This article discusses topics presented at the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 41st Annual Meeting and reports no new clinical findings.
February 2014 in “Cancer Research” This study found that MYH9 acts as a tumor suppressor in squamous cell carcinomas by stabilizing p53 in the nucleus, suggesting its role in cancer prevention.
January 2014 in “Ghent University Academic Bibliography (Ghent University)” FGF18 may influence hair loss in dogs.
January 2014 in “Plastic Surgery” In this study, the authors describe a new technique using the Ventralex hernia patch for simultaneous umbilical hernia repair during abdominoplasty, observing its application in 11 female patients.
This study found that activating cannabinoid receptor 1 reduces the expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human keratinocytes, suggesting potential implications for psoriasis management.
This study found that CB1 receptor activation reduced keratin K6 and K16 expression in human keratinocytes in vitro and in situ, suggesting potential relevance for both psoriasis management and wound healing.
May 2012 in “Journal of Clinical Oncology” This study found a significant association between male breast cancers and exposure to finasteride and dutasteride, with an estimated additional case per 564 men taking these drugs.
April 2012 in “J. Willard Marriott Library” This study concluded that THC and THCA incorporate into hair by a mechanism independent of hair pigmentation, likely influenced by indirect deposition via sebum and skin.
This commentary notes that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors have successfully treated benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia but reports no new findings.
September 2010 in “Companion Animal” This article reviews a clinician's approach to diagnosing and managing canine alopecia and reports no new clinical findings.
May 2010 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This research discusses potential cancer vaccine strategies using cell-based and DNA vector-based approaches, and suggests targeting the v3 splice variant of thioredoxin reductase 1 to inhibit cancer cell motility and metastasis formation.
April 2010 in “Cancer Research” This study suggests that Mcl-1 has a non-apoptotic role in promoting keratinocyte proliferation and Wnt/β-catenin signaling, potentially indicating a novel oncogenic activity.
March 2010 in “Ejc Supplements” This study highlights a paradox where valproic acid, known for causing hair loss, may also promote hair growth when applied topically.
November 2009 in “Companion Animal” The document suggests that Alopecia X in dogs is mainly a cosmetic issue and might be better left untreated.
January 2008 in “Central South Pharmacy” This study developed an accurate and reliable HPLC-ESI-MS method for determining candesartan levels in human plasma, useful for pharmacokinetic studies.
August 2007 in “Contact Dermatitis” This article on allergic contact dermatitis caused by canrenone does not include new clinical findings; it appears to be a report or case note without an abstract.
