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 The Pharmacology of Methotrexate
Methotrexate treats various disorders by inhibiting DNA synthesis, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid toxicity and manage side effects.
research Liposomal Systems as Drug Delivery Vehicles for Dermal and Transdermal Applications
Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development

K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Extraskeletal Actions of Vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Delivery and Targeting of Nanoparticles into Hair Follicles
