research Excess Granulation Tissue and Hair Loss Following Acitretin
Acitretin can cause excess tissue growth and hair loss.
research Human Clinical Phenotype Associated With FOXN1 Mutations
FOXN1 mutations cause severe immunodeficiency, hair loss, nail issues, and thymus defects.
research The Importance of Basonuclin 2 in Adult Mice and Its Relation to Basonuclin 1
Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
research Regulatory T Cells in Skin Regeneration and Wound Healing
Regulatory T cells help heal skin and grow hair, and their absence can lead to healing issues and hair loss.
research Surgical Management Of Scarring Alopecia
Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.
research In Focus In HCB: The Role Of Cholesterol Transporter Proteins In The Human Hair Cycle, The Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition And Primary Cilia In Urothelial Cancers, The Impact Of Ovarian Hormones And Choriogonadotropin On Endometrial Cell Polarity Before Implantation, And The Effects Of Epidermal Maturation And UV-Irradiation On The Protein rCLCA2 In Rodent Keratinocytes And Skin
The May issue discussed publishing agreements and four studies on cholesterol in hair, cancer cell changes, hormones in the uterus, and skin protein effects.
research Learning From Nudity: Lessons From The Nude Phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Spatial Transcriptomics of a Giant Pilomatricoma
The analysis of a large pilomatricoma revealed five distinct areas with different gene activity related to hair growth and tumor development.
research Cell Death by Cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Adipocytes in Skin Health and Disease
Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Deriving Keratinocyte Progenitor Cells and Keratinocytes from Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Scientists developed a way to create skin and hair cells from human stem cells, which could help treat burns and restore hair.
research The Role of Astrotactin2 in Regulating Mammalian Skin Polarity
Astrotactin2 affects hair follicle orientation and skin cell polarity.
research The Genetics of Autism and Steroid-Related Traits in Prenatal and Postnatal Life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Human Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells as a Source of Schwann Cells
Human Schwann cells can be quickly made from hair follicle stem cells for nerve repair.
research Line-Field Optical Coherence Tomography: Usefulness in the Non-Invasive Differential Diagnosis of Congenital Alopecia of Infancy
LC-OCT helps accurately diagnose different types of infant hair loss without invasive methods.
research Expression of EZH2 in the Skin of Developing Human Fetuses and Adults: A Comparative Study
EZH2 levels decrease as fetuses develop and are higher in adult skin, which may affect skin growth and repair.
research Early Lead Exposure and Pubertal Development in a Mexico City Population
Higher early lead exposure is linked to delayed puberty in girls.
research Epidermal Keratinocyte Stem Cells: Their Maintenance and Regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Beta-Catenin–Dependent Wnt Signaling: A Pathway in Acute Cutaneous Wounding
The study found that a specific signaling pathway helps skin wounds heal faster but may lead to larger scars.
research Nematic Fibrin Fibers Enabling Vascularized Thrombus Implants Facilitate Scarless Cutaneous Wound Healing
Using blood-based implants improves skin healing and reduces scarring.
research Injectable Gelatin/Metal/Tea Polyphenol Double Nanonetworks for Diabetic Wound Healing
New injectable hydrogels with gelatin, metal, and tea polyphenols help heal diabetic wounds faster by controlling infection, improving blood vessel growth, and managing oxidative stress.
research Precocious Puberty: Isosexual Precocious Puberty and Its Implications
Early sexual development in children, especially girls, can be treated with hormone therapy to improve adult height and requires support for the child and family.
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 Metallothionein Expression During Wool Follicle Development in Fetal Sheep
Metallothionein likely helps in cell growth and development in wool follicles of fetal sheep.
