research The Reliability of Horizontally Sectioned Scalp Biopsies in the Diagnosis of Chronic Diffuse Telogen Hair Loss in Women
Horizontally sectioned scalp biopsies are more reliable for diagnosing hair loss in women when three samples are taken instead of one.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue in Clinical Applications for Dermatological Indications and Skin Aging
Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.
research The Spectrum of Cutaneous Manifestations in Lupus Erythematosus: The Italian Experience
In Italian patients with lupus, the most common skin issue was chronic cutaneous lupus, especially discoid lesions, and nonspecific skin problems occurred in about a third of those with systemic lupus, mainly during active disease.
research Microneedle Applications in Improving Skin Appearance
Microneedles help improve skin appearance and deliver skin treatments effectively, but safety concerns need more research and regulation.
research The Mesenchymal Component of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: Background, Methods, and Molecular Characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Biologically Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles for Topical Applications: Effect of Surface Coating and Loading into Hydrogels
Silver nanoparticles coated with substances like PEG showed strong antibacterial effects and improved wound healing when used in hydrogels.
research Human Hair Follicle Organ Culture: Theory, Application, and Perspectives
Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.
research Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for Pathogenesis and Novel Management Strategies
Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research A Randomized Trial of Minoxidil in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Minoxidil shortens baldness from chemotherapy by 50.2 days without significant side effects.
research Structural Abnormalities of the Hair Shaft
The document concludes that understanding hair structure is key to diagnosing hair abnormalities and recommends gentle hair care for management.
research Stretching the Limits: From Homeostasis to Stem Cell Plasticity in Wound Healing and Cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research Pharmacological Evidence for Extracts and Secondary Metabolites from Plants of the Genus Hibiscus
Hibiscus plant extracts may have health benefits like lowering blood pressure and protecting the heart.
research Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Achievements, Future, and Sustainability in Asia
Asia has made significant progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but wider clinical use requires more development.
research Increased Androgen Bioavailability Is Associated With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease In Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS and higher androgen levels are more likely to have fatty liver disease.
research Thallium Poisoning: Diagnosis May Be Elusive But Alopecia Is The Clue
Alopecia is a key indicator of thallium poisoning.
research Physicochemical Properties of pH-Sensitive Hydrogels Based on Hydroxyethyl Cellulose–Hyaluronic Acid for Transdermal Delivery Systems for Skin Lesions
The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.
research A Review of Diagnosis and Treatment of Acne in Adult Female Patients
Adult female acne treatment should be personalized, considering individual preferences and pregnancy, using various topical and oral medications while managing side effects and resistance.
research Biochemical Testing of the Thyroid: TSH Is the Best and Often Only Test Needed – A Review for Primary Care
TSH is usually the only test needed to check thyroid function in primary care.
research Nocturnal Eczema: Review of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Children with Atopic Dermatitis and Future Research Directions
Children with atopic dermatitis often have sleep problems, affecting their growth and behavior.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Androgen Excess, and the Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Women: A Longitudinal Study Based on a United Kingdom Primary Care Database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.
