TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Pilosebaceous Physiology in Relation to Hirsutism and Acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.

Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research C/EBPα and C/EBPβ Are Required for Sebocyte Differentiation and Stratified Squamous Differentiation in Adult Mouse Skin
C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.
research Strategic Targets in Acne: The Comedone Switch in Question
The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
research Actions of Isotretinoin and Etretinate on the Pilosebaceous Unit
Isotretinoin shrinks sebaceous glands without affecting hair or skin color, unlike etretinate.
research Permeant Lipophilicity and Vehicle Composition Influence Accumulation of Dyes in Hair Follicles of Human Skin
Lipophilic dyes accumulate more in hair follicles when delivered with surfactant-propylene glycol solutions.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
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 PPAR-γ Agonists and Their Role in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Etiology of Cicatricial Alopecias: A Basic Science Point of View
Cicatricial alopecia may be caused by immune attacks on hair follicles, gland issues, or stem cell damage.
research Premature Adrenarche: Early Maturation of Adrenal Glands in Children
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Experimental and Thermodynamic Analyses of Supercritical CO2 Solubility of Minoxidil as an Antihypertensive Drug
Minoxidil dissolves better in propylene glycol + water than in supercritical CO2.
research Detection of Urine Metabolites in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by UPLC Triple-TOF-MS
Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Sebaceous Immunobiology: Skin Homeostasis, Innate Immunity Coordination, Inflammatory Response, and Disease Associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research HOXC8 Initiates an Ectopic Mammary Program by Regulating FGF10 and TBX3 Expression, and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
Hoxc8 gene helps start mammary gland development by controlling specific signals.
research On The Effects Of A Plant Extract Of Orthosiphon Stamineus On Sebum-Related Skin Imperfections
