research Nutrition and the Deleterious Side Effects of Nutritional Supplements
Taking too many vitamin and mineral supplements can cause serious health problems.
research Reduced Cell Cohesiveness of Outgrowths from Eccrine Sweat Glands Delays Wound Closure in Elderly Skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
research Transforming Growth Factor-β, Smad, and Collagen Expression Patterns in Fetal and Adult Keratinocytes
Keratinocytes show more TGF-β system activity and collagen production as they age, which might affect wound scarring.
research Effects of 1α,25-Dihydroxy-Vitamin D3 and Calcipotriol on Organotypic Cultures of Outer Root Sheath Cells: A Potential Model to Evaluate Antipsoriatic Drugs
Vitamin D compounds may help treat psoriasis by promoting skin cell differentiation.
research Expression of the L-Fucose Moiety on Infrainfundibular Follicular Keratinocytes of Terminal Follicles, Its Decreased Expression on Vellus and Indeterminate Follicles of Androgenetic Alopecia, and Re-Expression in Drug-Induced Hair Regrowth
Sugar molecule helps hair growth, less in balding, returns with treatment.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha Immunoreactivity During Induced Hair Follicle Growth Cycles in Sheep and Ferrets
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research A Two-Phase Model of Skin Epidermal Stratification: Lessons from Centrosomes
Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
research The Effect of Cilostazol on Hair Growth: A Novel Therapeutic Option for the Treatment of Hair Loss
Cilostazol may help hair grow and could be a new treatment for hair loss.
research Exploring the Role of MicroRNAs in Alopecia Areata
Certain microRNAs may protect against hair loss in alopecia areata and could be potential treatment targets.
research Dermal Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Controls Hair Follicle Dermal Condensate Size During Development
Dermal Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for the proper size and development of hair follicles.
research Chromatin Architectural Protein CTCF Controls Epidermal Barrier Formation, Hair Follicle Fate Maintenance, and Suppresses Inflammatory Responses in the Skin Epithelium
The protein CTCF is essential for skin development, maintaining hair follicles, and preventing inflammation.
research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Keratins in Health and Cancer: More Than Mere Epithelial Cell Markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Acidic and Basic Hair/Nail (Hard) Keratins: Their Colocalization in Upper Cortical and Cuticle Cells of the Human Hair Follicle and Their Relationship to Soft Keratins
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Intradermal Adipocytes Mediate Fibroblast Recruitment During Skin Wound Healing
Fat cells help recruit healing cells and build skin structure during wound healing.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Overexpression of Activin A in the Skin of Transgenic Mice Reveals New Activities in Epidermal Morphogenesis, Dermal Fibrosis, and Wound Repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Toxic Side Effects of Targeted Therapies and Immunotherapies Affecting the Skin, Oral Mucosa, Hair, and Nails

research Vitamin D and the Skin: Physiology and Pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Fibroblasts and Wound Healing: An Update
Understanding different types of skin cells, especially fibroblasts, can lead to better treatments for wound healing and less scarring.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Viral Oncogenesis in Humans
