research Androgen Actions on the Human Hair Follicle: Perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Disorders Linked to Insufficient Androgen Action in Male Children
Insufficient androgen action in male fetuses can cause genital development issues due to genetic mutations or environmental chemicals.
research Ultraviolet Radiation in Wound Care: Sterilization and Stimulation
UV radiation can help sterilize wounds and promote healing but requires careful use to avoid damaging cells.
research Somatosensory Organization and Behavior in Naked Mole-Rats: Peripheral Structures, Innervation, and Selective Lack of Neuropeptides Associated with Thermoregulation and Pain
Naked mole-rats have unique skin and hair nerve structures, lacking certain pain and temperature-related neuropeptides.
research In Human Skin, UVB Initiates Early Induction of IL-10 Over IL-12 Preferentially in the Expanding Dermal Monocytic/Macrophagic Population
UVB exposure in human skin causes macrophages to produce more IL-10 and less IL-12, leading to immunosuppression.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes: Models for Better Understanding of Acne Pathogenesis
The document concludes that certain genetic mutations and dietary factors are involved in acne development, and treatments like isotretinoin and diet changes can help manage it.
research Order From Disorder: Self-Organization In Mammalian Hair Patterning
Hair patterns in mice are controlled by both a global system dependent on Fz6 and a local self-organizing system.
research Common Skin Infections in Children
The document concludes that molluscum contagiosum is a common, benign skin infection in children, often healing without scarring.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Role of Cholesterol Sulfate in Epidermal Structure and Function: Lessons from X-Linked Ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Antioxidants in Dermatology
Antioxidants can benefit skin health but should be used carefully to avoid negative effects.
research The Blastema and Epimorphic Regeneration in Mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Molecular Signaling in Feather Morphogenesis
Feather growth and regeneration involve complex patterns, stem cells, and evolutionary insights.
research Metabolites From Macroalgae and Its Applications in the Cosmetic Industry: A Circular Economy Approach
Macroalgae compounds offer sustainable, effective benefits for cosmetics.
research Applications of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Dermatology: A Critical Appraisal of the Literature
Platelet-rich plasma may have some benefits in dermatology, but there's not enough evidence to widely recommend its use.
research Skin Connective Tissue and Aging
Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.
research Aging of the Hair Follicle Pigmentation System
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Menstrual Disorders in Adolescents
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.
research Biotin-Responsive Alopecia and Developmental Regression
Biotin treatment can significantly improve hair loss and motor functions in certain metabolic disorders.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Management of Patients and Side Effects During Cyclosporine Therapy for Cutaneous Disorders
Cyclosporine can treat skin conditions but needs careful monitoring for side effects.
research Mechanism of Sleep Disturbance in Children with Atopic Dermatitis and the Role of the Circadian Rhythm and Melatonin
Children with atopic dermatitis often have sleep problems due to itching and may benefit from melatonin, which helps with sleep and skin symptoms.
research Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms Determining Tissue Sensitivity to Glucocorticoids: Novel Mutations, Circadian Rhythm, and Ligand-Induced Repression of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Cortical Cell Types and Intermediate Filament Arrangements Correlate with Fiber Curvature in Japanese Human Hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research C-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
The balance between androgen receptor and p53 is crucial for sebaceous gland differentiation.
research Potential Targets in the Discovery of New Hair Growth Promoters for Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research The Role of Smads in Skin Development
Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
research Unwanted Body Hair and Its Removal: A Review
Laser hair removal was a significant new method for getting rid of unwanted hair in 1999.
research Molecular Histology in Skin Appendage Morphogenesis
New molecules involved in skin and hair growth were identified, improving understanding and future treatments.
