September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that dermal papilla cells exhibit stage-dependent variation in histone methylation during the hair follicle cycle and display distinct chromatin marker expression when transitioning to in vitro culture.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, low-dose 453 nm blue light appeared to enhance hair growth by interacting with specific photoreceptors in the outer root sheath cells.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that their novel 3D-imaging method, ASAXA-μCT, identified shrinkage of sweat glands as a key factor in skin aging, which leads to dermal defects, decreased elasticity, and increased wrinkling and sagging.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, the novel ASAXA-μCT imaging method identified that the shrinkage of sweat glands with aging causes dermal defects, reducing skin elasticity and contributing to wrinkling and sagging.
