Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Tracing the Cellular Origin of Cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research JAK Inhibitors: New Players in the Field of Immune-Mediated Diseases Beyond Rheumatoid Arthritis
JAK inhibitors are effective in treating various immune-related diseases, not just rheumatoid arthritis.
research Demodicosis and Rosacea: Epidemiology and Significance in Daily Dermatologic Practice
Demodicosis is common and often missed, needing more recognition and treatment in skin care.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
research Tributyltin Effects on Ocinebrina Aciculata: Imposex Development, Sterilization, Sex Change, and Population Decline
Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.
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 Microneedles as the Technique of Drug Delivery Enhancement in Diverse Organs and Tissues
Microneedles improve drug delivery in various body parts, are safe and painless, and show promise in cosmetology, vaccination, insulin delivery, and other medical applications.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Signaling in the Stem Cell Niche: Regulating Cell Fate, Function, and Plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Shh Maintains Dermal Papilla Identity and Hair Morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh Regulatory Loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
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 Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Achievements, Future, and Sustainability in Asia
Asia has made significant progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but wider clinical use requires more development.
research Sex Differences in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates and the Potential Link to Prostate Cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Significant Correction of Disease After Postnatal Administration of Recombinant Ectodysplasin A in Canine X-Linked Ectodermal Dysplasia
Giving a special protein to dogs with a certain genetic disease improved their symptoms but didn't help with hair growth.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Long-Term Complications of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: The Spectrum of Chronic Problems in Survivors Necessitates Multidisciplinary Follow-Up
Survivors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis need ongoing care for various long-term health problems.
research Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway for Developing Therapies for Hair Loss
Activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Hardwiring Stem Cell Communication Through Tissue Structure
The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
