research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Effect of P144 (Anti-TGF-β) in an In Vivo Human Hypertrophic Scar Model in Nude Mice
P144® improves hypertrophic scars by reducing size and thickness and increasing elasticity.
research Recent Advances in Neuropeptide-Related Omics and Gene Editing: Spotlight on NPY and Somatostatin and Their Roles in Growth and Food Intake of Fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link Between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
