Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.
research Role of Human Skin Antimicrobial Peptides in Psoriasis
Inflammation in psoriasis may trigger antimicrobial peptides and cell death.
research What Causes Hidradenitis Suppurativa?—15 Years After
Hidradenitis suppurativa is caused by genetic factors, inflammation, bacteria, hormones, and lifestyle factors like obesity and smoking.
research Piecing Together the Pigment-Type Switching Puzzle
The document concludes that MGRN1 affects mouse fur color by interfering with a receptor's signaling, but its full role in the body is still unknown.
research Overlaps Between Inflammatory Dermatoses and Ichthyoses: Need for Novel Therapeutic Approaches
Patients with ichthyosis often experience symptoms similar to psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, suggesting that targeted therapies could improve their condition.
research Clinical Snippets: R-Spondin2 Amplifies Wnt Signaling for Hair Growth, Gene Expression Differences in Balding Scalp, IKB Regulates hBD2 in Psoriasis, ß-Defensin Gene Cluster and Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Autoantigen Epitopes in Alopecia Areata
New treatments for hair growth and psoriasis may be possible, and gene differences could affect baldness and the severity of skin conditions.
research Clinical Snippets: Research Findings in Dermatology
New findings suggest potential treatments for melanoma, hyperpigmentation, hair defects, and multiple sclerosis, and show skin microbiome changes don't cause atopic dermatitis.
