April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that dietary grape powder may reduce the severity of atopic dermatitis in a mouse model, highlighting its potential in both prevention and intervention settings.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that hormone replacement therapy and oral contraception may have a protective role in scarring alopecia, as these were reported less frequently by patients with the condition compared to those with female pattern hair loss.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study demonstrated that in genetic mouse models, the calcium sensor Stim1, not Stim2, is essential for sweat secretion in sweat glands.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that a water-soluble peptide from chicken egg yolk, named Hair Growth Peptide, improved hair growth in mice and female pattern hair loss through increased IGF-1 and VEGF production.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, the authors identified a role for hair follicles in regulating the formation and sympathetic innervation of arrector pili muscles, influencing hair follicle stem cell activity and potentially explaining hair loss associated with beta-blockers and androgenic alopecia.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that plasma cardiac troponin I levels were highest in subjects with alopecia areata, potentially indicating increased heart remodeling and a need for close cardiovascular monitoring in these individuals.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that sensitive scalp is characterized by increased pH levels, redness, altered sebum composition, and a disrupted microbiome, suggesting these features could inform treatment approaches.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that in obese mice, local antimicrobial activity is reduced due to a loss of adipogenic stem cells and an increase in mature adipocytes, leading to higher susceptibility to skin infections.
April 2017 in “Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease” This study found that 20% of children initially diagnosed with premature pubarche were later identified with other conditions like central puberty precox or congenital adrenal hyperplasia during follow-up, emphasizing the importance of ongoing differential diagnosis.
January 2017 in “Springer eBooks” The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.
January 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” This review discusses the potential of Ziziphus species and its extracted oil as new therapeutic agents in drug development and highlights the need for further studies to fully exploit this species for human health benefits.
June 2015 in “Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii” This review discusses the role of growth factors in hair physiology and their involvement in conditions like androgynous and focal alopecia, reporting no new clinical findings.
May 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” A woman with Parry-Romberg syndrome developed new curly hair on one side of her scalp, a condition not previously linked to the syndrome.
May 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” A heart transplant patient developed a skin condition called epidermodysplasia verruciformis after taking immune-suppressing drugs.
December 2014 in “Research and Reviews: Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicological Studies” This study found that applying pet ether extract of Brassica oleracea to rats' skin promoted earlier and longer anagen phases in hair growth, outperforming 1% minoxidil.
July 2012 in “The Journal of Urology” This abstract reviews testosterone supplementation with and without a dual 5α-reductase inhibitor on fat-free mass in men with suppressed testosterone production and reports no new research findings.
January 2006 in “Yearbook of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” Most studies on perioral dermatitis treatment are of low quality, with some agreement on oral tetracycline effectiveness and stopping steroids and cosmetics.
January 2006 in “The Journal of Korean Medicine Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology and Dermatology” This study found that Rubus coreanum extract promotes hair growth in mice, but its effects are not due to inhibition of specific enzymatic activities or growth factor expression.
March 2003 in “BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology” In this study, maternal and fetal hair mercury levels were significantly higher when mothers had dental amalgam restorations placed before or during pregnancy, compared to unexposed individuals.
