research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
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 Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Promote Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Development
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species are essential for skin and hair development.

Targeting colon cancer stem cells might lead to better treatment results.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Comorbid Disorder Biomarkers, Druggable Genes, New Drugs and Drug Repurposing—A Molecular Meta-Analysis
The study found key factors in the cause of hidradenitis suppurativa, its link to other diseases, and identified existing drugs that could potentially treat it.
research Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Cellular and Transcriptional Changes Associated With M1 Macrophage Polarization in Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Immune cells in Hidradenitis suppurativa become more inflammatory and may be important for treatment targets.
research Bone Metabolism in Patients With Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Case-Control Study
People with hidradenitis suppurativa often have lower vitamin D levels, weaker hip bones, and altered bone metabolism markers.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Study of Demodex Mites: Challenges and Solutions
The conclusion is that a new biopsy technique and humidity chamber help study skin mites better and suggest mite overpopulation may cause skin diseases.
research Adipose Stem Cells From Type 2 Diabetic Mice Exhibit Therapeutic Potential In Wound Healing
Fat stem cells from diabetic mice can still help heal wounds.
research Infiltration of Mast Cells in Scalp Biopsies of Patients with Alopecia Areata or Androgenic Alopecia Versus Healthy Individuals: A Case-Control Study
Alopecia patients have more mast cells in their scalps, especially in severe cases and older age, with alopecia areata showing the highest increase.
research Endocannabinoids Limit Excessive Mast Cell Maturation And Activation In Human Skin
Endocannabinoids help control mast cell activity in human skin.
research Knockout of the ING5 Epigenetic Regulator Confirms Roles in Stem Cell Maintenance and Tumor Suppression In Vivo
ING5 is crucial for stem cell maintenance and preventing certain cancers.
research Inflammatory Loops in the Epithelial-Immune Microenvironment of the Skin and Skin Appendages in Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Chronic inflammatory skin diseases are caused by disrupted interactions between skin cells and immune cells.
research Mucosal TLR5 Activation Controls Healthspan and Longevity
Activating TLR5 in the gut can extend lifespan and improve health in aged mice.
research Human TSC2-Null Fibroblast-Like Cells Induce Hair Follicle Neogenesis and Hamartoma Morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Wound Healing, Cutaneous Therapy, Hair
A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
research Regulation of Adipocyte Dedifferentiation at the Skin Wound Edge
Adipocytes can change into fibroblast-like cells to help with wound healing.
research Lipid Signaling in Keratinocytes: Lipin-1 Plays a Part
Lipin-1 is important for skin cell differentiation and skin barrier function.
research Comprehensive Overview of Rheumatology Studies: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, February 13–16, 2013
The document concludes that various findings in rheumatology offer insights into disease severity, treatment responses, and potential risks in medication, with some limitations due to unspecified participant numbers.
research Exploring Mast Cell–CD8 T Cell Interactions in Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Mast cells and CD8 T cells interact closely in skin diseases, affecting each other's behavior and contributing to conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
research Age-Associated Inflammation Connects RAS-Induced Senescence to Stem Cell Dysfunction and Epidermal Malignancy
