research Ultrastructural Immunolocalization of Involucrin in the Medulla and Inner Root Sheath of Human Hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Association Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Psoriasis: A Case-Control Study
The study found no link between vitamin D deficiency and psoriasis but suggests more research is needed.
research Prostate-Specific Antigen as a Diagnostic Marker in Female Hyperandrogenism
PSA could be a marker for hyperandrogenism in women, but more research is needed.
research Trajectory of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived Neural Progenitor Cells Differentiation into Dermal Papilla-Like Cells and Their Characteristics
Human stem cells were turned into cells similar to those that help grow hair and showed potential for hair follicle formation.
research Lenalidomide Augments Differentiation of Cultured Hair Follicle Derived Melanocyte Stem Cells Into Functional Melanocytes
Lenalidomide helps hair follicle stem cells turn into melanocytes, which may improve repigmentation in vitiligo.
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 Distinct Stem Cells Contribute to Mammary Gland Development and Maintenance
Different types of long-lasting stem cells are responsible for the growth and upkeep of the mammary gland.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease

research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research And Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Acne
Acne affects most teenagers and can continue into adulthood, with various treatments available that show improvement but have concerns like antibiotic resistance and side effects.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Stress Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inducing Premature Catagen Development and Harmful Perifollicular Inflammatory Events via Neuropeptide Substance P-Dependent Pathways
Stress stops hair growth in mice by causing early hair growth phase end and harmful inflammation through a specific nerve-related pathway.
research Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation After Nerve Injury
Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Stress Exposure Modulates Peptidergic Innervation and Degranulates Mast Cells in Murine Skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Therapeutic Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Formyl-Peptide Receptor Agonists
Formyl-peptide receptor agonists could be new anti-inflammatory drugs.
