PDCD4 is important for controlling skin cell growth and healing.
research Updates in the Understanding and Treatments of Skin and Hair Disorders in Women of Color
New treatments for skin and hair disorders in women of color address unique biological differences and include specific acne medications, sunscreens, skin lighteners, and hair care adjustments.
research Is Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone a Novel Neuroendocrine Modulator of Keratin Expression in Human Skin?
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone may help control skin and hair growth and could aid in treating related disorders.
research Topical L-Thyroxine: The Cinderella Among Hormones Waiting to Dance on the Floor of Dermatological Therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research Blackcurrant Extract with Phytoestrogen Activity Alleviates Hair Loss in Ovariectomized Rats
Blackcurrant extract may help reduce hair loss by promoting stem cell activity in hair follicles.
