research Epigenetic Control of Skin and Hair Regeneration After Wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Targeting Host Cell Proteases as a Potential Treatment Strategy to Limit the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Respiratory Tract
Blocking enzymes that help the virus enter cells could be a promising way to treat COVID-19.
research Ocular Manifestations of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: A Rare Presentation
The report shows a young man with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome had typical and additional eye problems related to the disease.
research Light-Emitting Hair Follicles: Studying Skin Regeneration With In Vivo Imaging
Scientists developed tools to observe hair regeneration in real time and assess skin health, using glowing mice and light-controlled genes.
research News in Brief
Researchers found potential new targets for treating melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and identified a possible cause and treatment for male pattern baldness and eczema.
research Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective
The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.
research Large-Scale Genome-Wide Meta-Analysis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Suggests Shared Genetic Architecture for Different Diagnosis Criteria
The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.
research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
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 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 Effect of Estrogens on Skin Aging and the Potential Role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Atypical Progeroid Syndrome Due to Heterozygous Missense LMNA Mutations
The research found that Atypical Progeroid Syndrome has unique symptoms and is not caused by the buildup of a certain mutant protein.
research Adverse Effects of Common Medications on Male Fertility
Some common medications can harm male fertility, but many effects can be reversed.
research Molecular Basis of Hair Cell Loss
The document concludes that there are no effective clinical treatments for hearing loss due to hair cell damage, but research is ongoing.
research Review Article: Dermatological Complications of Immunosuppressive and Anti-TNF Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Immunosuppressive and anti-TNF therapies in IBD patients can increase the risk of skin cancer and cause various skin issues.
research Extracellular Matrix as a Regulator of Epidermal Stem Cell Fate
The extracellular matrix is crucial for controlling skin stem cell behavior and health.
research The Pharmacology of Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative pharmacology, which combines drugs with regenerative medicine, shows promise for repairing damaged body parts and needs more interdisciplinary research.
research The Biology of Hair Diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Regulation of Masculinization: Androgen Signaling for External Genitalia Development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Retinoid-Mediated Stimulation of Steroid Sulfatase Activity in Myeloid Leukemic Cell Lines Requires RARα and RXR and Involves the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase and ERK-MAP Kinase Pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research Androgen Receptor: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Are Hair Follicle Stem Cells Promising Candidates for Wound Healing?
Hair follicle stem cells are promising for wound healing but require more research for safe clinical use.
research PCOS: Update and Diagnostic Approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research Mesothelial Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction for Skin Rejuvenation
Adipose-derived stem cells show potential for skin rejuvenation and wound healing but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Bubble Hair – A Possible Explanation for Its Distribution
Using a blow dryer in a certain way can cause localized hair damage with bubble formation inside the hair.
research Alopecia: The Search for Novel Agents Continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
