research Aging Skin: A Window to the Body
Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.
research Biomaterials for Dermal Substitutes
The document concludes that a complete skin restoration biomaterial does not yet exist, and more clinical trials are needed to ensure these therapies are safe and effective.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Amalgamated with Alopecia Areata: Immunologic Findings
The patient with both scarring and non-scarring hair loss showed complex immune reactions and improved with steroid treatment.
research Staining of Human Skin With RGB Trichrome Unveils a Proteoglycan-Enriched Zone in the Hair Dermal Sheath
A new staining method shows a special area in the hair's skin layer with lots of proteoglycans.
research Differential Diagnoses of Pseudolymphomatous Folliculitis: Considerations Regarding One Case
Accurate diagnosis of pseudolymphomatous folliculitis is crucial to avoid mistaking it for more serious conditions.
research FGF7-Dependent Inhibition of Human Hair Growth by an Osteopontin-Derived Peptide: A Novel Solution for Hirsutism and Hypertrichosis
A new peptide, FOL-005, may help treat excessive hair growth by reducing a hair growth promoter, FGF7.
research Skin Structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research The Skin at Different Ages
Skin changes throughout life, from development before birth to aging effects like wrinkles, influenced by both genetics and environment.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Lichen Planopilaris: A Rare Inflammatory Cicatricial Alopecia
Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Dermoscopy-Guided Scalp Biopsy in Cicatricial Alopecia
Using dermoscopy to guide scalp biopsies is an effective way to diagnose cicatricial alopecia.
research Skin Conditions in Figure Skaters, Ice-Hockey Players, and Speed Skaters
Ice-skating athletes often have skin problems due to cold, infections, and inflammation, needing careful treatment and prevention.
research A Primer for Studying Cell Cycle Dynamics of the Human Hair Follicle
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle cell cycles is crucial for hair growth and alopecia research, and recommends specific techniques and future research directions.
research Changes in Murine Hair with Dietary Selenium Excess or Deficiency
Too much or too little selenium in the diet can cause hair loss and graying in mice.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Update on Etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Acne Inversa, Dissecting Terminal Hair Folliculitis
Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic skin condition best treated early with surgery for better outcomes and less recurrence.
research Nevus Comedonicus in a Malay Man: A Case Report and Review of Literature
A 25-year-old Malay fireman had skin bumps on his neck that were removed successfully after other treatments failed.
research Trichoscopic Study of Non-Scarring Alopecia of the Scalp
Trichoscopy is effective for diagnosing different types of non-scarring hair loss.
research Odd-Looking Hair and Progressive Alopecia in Mother and Son
Mother and son diagnosed with a rare genetic hair loss condition with no effective treatment.
research A Detective Look at Hair Biopsies from African-American Patients
Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.
research Histopathologic Profile of Alopecia Areata in Indian Patients
The study found that the cause of alopecia areata can be identified through tissue analysis, and vertical sections are enough for diagnosis.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Changes in the Aging Dermal Hair Follicle Environment in Female Scalp
Aging causes changes in scalp cells that can negatively affect hair health.
research Hair Follicle Culture
Hair follicle culture helps study hair growth but has limitations in modeling the full hair cycle.
research Overview of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is a genetic and immune-related hair loss condition that is often associated with other autoimmune diseases and does not typically cause permanent damage to hair follicles.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Folliculotropic Disease of Innate Immune Barrier Dysfunction?
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin disease caused by the breakdown of the skin's natural immune barriers, especially around hair follicles.
research Desmoplastic Trichoepithelioma: Histopathologic and Immunohistochemical Criteria for Differentiation of a Rare Benign Hair Follicle Tumor From Other Cutaneous Adnexal Tumors
The document concludes that recent studies help tell apart desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas from other skin tumors, but more research is needed for clear differentiation.
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.
