research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
research Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research The Silver Locus Product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a New Tool for the Analysis of Melanosome Transfer in Human Melanocyte–Keratinocyte Co-Culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Wnt Signaling and Aging-Related Heart Disorders
Wnt signaling may be linked to heart diseases in aging and could be a target for future treatments.
research Fibromodulin Reduces Scar Formation in Adult Cutaneous Wounds by Eliciting a Fetal-Like Phenotype
Fibromodulin treatment helps reduce scarring and improves wound healing by making it more like fetal healing.
research Sex Hormones Modulate Pathogenic Processes in Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury
Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.
research Wound Healing in Development: Mechanisms and Regulation
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.
research Sunscreens and Hair Photoprotection
Hair sunscreens are important for maintaining hair's cosmetic value.
research Inhibitory Effects of bFGF, VEGF, and Minoxidil on Collagen Synthesis by Cultured Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
bFGF, VEGF, and minoxidil decrease collagen production in hair cells, possibly affecting hair growth.
research Expanding the Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of Recessive AEBP1-Related Classical-Like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
The study concludes that mutations in the AEBP1 gene can cause a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and should be considered in diagnosis.
research Minimum Structural Requirements for Minoxidil Inhibition of Lysyl Hydroxylase in Cultured Fibroblasts
Minoxidil needs specific structure to block lysyl hydroxylase; exploring alternatives may keep benefits without this effect.
research A Newly Discovered Linkage Between Proteoglycans and Hair Biology: Decorin Acts as an Anagen Inducer
Decorin, a protein, may help start hair growth and could be used to treat hair loss.
research Isolation and Quantification of Glycosaminoglycans from Human Hair Shaft
Human hair contains more glycosaminoglycans in children than adults, and these compounds decrease with age, possibly affecting hair thickness.
research Association Between Human Hair Loss and the Expression Levels of Nucleolin, Nucleophosmin, and UBTF Genes
Hair loss is significantly linked to lower levels of certain genes in hair follicles.
research A Mutation in the Type II Hair Keratin KRT86 Gene in a Han Family with Monilethrix
A new mutation in the KRT86 gene was found to cause the hair disorder monilethrix in a Han family.
research Aching Alopecia: A Case of Giant Cell Arteritis in a 70-Year-Old Woman
Painful hair loss in an elderly woman was caused by giant cell arteritis, not just aging.
research Regrowth of Alopecia Areata Simulating the Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia
Alopecia areata can regrow hair in a pattern similar to androgenetic alopecia.
research Down-Regulation of Genes Related to Photoaging and Inflammation in UVB-Irradiated Mice Premature Skin Photoaging by Linoleic Acid-Rich Tempeh Oil
Tempeh oil rich in linoleic acid may protect against skin aging caused by UV light.
research Warfarin-Induced Alopecia: A Rare Case Report
Warfarin can rarely cause hair loss, which is usually reversible.
research Ovarian Leydig Cell Hyperplasia as a Rare Cause of Hair Loss in a Postmenopausal Female Patient: A Case Report and Diagnostic Approach Toward Postmenopausal Hyperandrogenism
An 84-year-old woman's hair loss was due to a rare condition called Leydig cell hyperplasia, which was treated with surgery.
research Hair
The document suggests using safer, plant-based hair products instead of harmful synthetic ones.
research Malignant Appearance of Trichilemmal Cyst: A Case Report With Review of the Literature
A man's neck lump was a trichilemmal cyst, not cancer, and should be fully removed due to rare risk of becoming malignant.
research Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Mirabegron and Solifenacin in Combination Compared with Monotherapy in Patients with Overactive Bladder: SYNERGY II Study
Using mirabegron and solifenacin together is safe and more effective for treating overactive bladder than using either drug alone.
research UV Laser-Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Laser Doppler Flowmetry in the Diagnostics of Alopecia
UV-induced autofluorescence is effective for identifying different types of alopecia.
research The Rotterdam Study: Objectives And Design Update
The Rotterdam Study investigates diseases in older adults and has produced many research findings.
research Keratins in Health and Cancer: More Than Mere Epithelial Cell Markers
