BB4CMU rice bran oil may help treat hair loss and gray hair.
research Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone and the Skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
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 Markers of Epidermal Stem Cell Subpopulations in Adult Mammalian Skin
The document concludes that adult mammalian skin contains multiple stem cell populations with specific markers, important for understanding skin regeneration and related conditions.
research Estrogen Functions in Skin and Skin Appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Keratinocyte Stem Cells but Not Melanocyte Stem Cells Are the Primary Target for Radiation-Induced Hair Graying
Radiation mainly affects keratinocyte stem cells, not melanocyte stem cells, causing hair to gray.
research Extracellular Fraction of Adipose Tissue as an Innovative Regenerative Approach for Vitiligo Treatment
Fat tissue extract may help treat vitiligo by reducing cell stress and promoting skin repair.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Regulation of Melanocyte Stem Cell Behavior by the Niche Microenvironment
The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
research Melatonin in the Skin: Synthesis, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Melatonin and the Hair Follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research The Endocannabinoid System of the Skin: A Potential Approach for the Treatment of Skin Disorders
Targeting the skin's endocannabinoid system could help treat skin disorders.
research Use of Condensed Nanofat Combined With Fat Grafts to Treat Atrophic Scars
Condensed nanofat with fat grafts effectively improves atrophic facial scars.
research Role of Insulin Resistance and Diet in Acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Thyroid Diseases and Skin Autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
research Alopecia Areata: Hyperactivity of the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Is a Myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Pigmentation of Regenerated Hairs After Wounding
Regenerated hairs can regain their color if the wound occurs during a certain stage of hair growth, and this process is helped by specific skin cells and proteins.
research Low-Fluence Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064-nm Laser and Intense Pulsed Light for the Treatment of Melasma
Combining LFQS and IPL is more effective and faster for treating melasma than LFQS alone.
research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
