research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
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 Chapter 4: Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5-Alpha-Reductase Activity in Human Gingival Fibroblasts in Response to Minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research Distinct Conditions Support a Novel Classification for Bradykinin-Mediated Angioedema
The conclusion suggests a new way to classify bradykinin-mediated angio-oedema based on different causes and its possible link with urticaria, which could improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research A Rapidly Progressive Case of Skin and Soft Tissues Necrosis in a COVID-19 Positive Patient
COVID-19 may lead to severe skin necrosis without clear underlying causes, as seen in a diabetic patient who required leg amputation.
research Characteristic Microstructure of Curved Human Hair
Curved human hair has different structures on each side, which might cause its shape and is similar to wool.
research Mammalian Keratin-Associated Proteins (KRTAPs) Subgenomes: Disentangling Hair Diversity and Adaptation to Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription and DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Distinct Phenotypic and Genomic Signatures Underlie Contrasting Pathogenic Potential of Staphylococcus Epidermidis Clonal Lineages
Staphylococcus epidermidis A/C strains are more antibiotic-resistant and infection-adapted, while B strains thrive in hair follicles.
research Skin Microbiome, Metabolome and Skin Phenome, from the Perspectives of Skin as an Ecosystem
Your skin is like an ecosystem, with its own community of microbes and substances that interact and affect its health.
research Use of Botulinum Toxin for Androgenic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Botulinum toxin injections can help treat common hair loss in men, but more research is needed to confirm this and understand how it works.
