research Medical and Environmental Risk Factors for the Development of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Type 2 diabetes, bacterial scalp infections, and tight hairstyles like braids and weaves are linked to a higher risk of a scarring hair loss condition in African American women.
research Co-Operation Between Follicular Ornithine Decarboxylase and v-Ha-ras Induces Spontaneous Papillomas and Malignant Conversion in Transgenic Skin
The study demonstrated that elevated levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and polyamines, when combined with a mutant Ha-ras gene, led to spontaneous tumor development in double transgenic mice. These mice, which were bred to carry both K6/ODC and v-Ha-ras transgenes, developed well-differentiated keratoacanthomas, some of which progressed to carcinomas within 2 months. The tumor development was dependent on ODC, as the use of the ODC inhibitor DFMO prevented tumor formation and caused regression. This indicated that ODC overexpression and activated Ha-ras were sufficient for malignant transformation, providing a model to study epithelial tumor development without chemical carcinogens or tumor promoters.
research Alpha-Hydroxy Acid-Based Cosmetic Procedures
Alpha-hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, safely improve skin issues and work on all skin types.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research KGF And EGF Signaling Block Hair Follicle Induction And Promote Interfollicular Epidermal Fate In Developing Mouse Skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Doxil (Caelyx): An Exploratory Study with Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer
Doxil showed some effectiveness against advanced prostate cancer but caused severe side effects at higher doses.
research Neural Potential of a Stem Cell Population in the Hair Follicle
The study described a population of multipotential stem cells located in the bulge region of the hair follicle, identified using transgenic nestin-GFP mice. These cells were capable of forming neurosphere-like structures in vitro and differentiating into various cell types, including neuronal, astrocytic, and oligodendrocytic cells. When implanted into the developing nervous system of chick embryos, they generated neuronal cells in vivo. Transcriptional profiling indicated that these nestin-expressing cells shared characteristics with embryonic and postnatal neural stem cells, demonstrating their multipotency and potential to generate neural lineage cells both in vitro and in vivo.
research Treatment of Alopecia Areata With Tofacitinib
Tofacitinib helped regrow hair in people with severe alopecia, but side effects occurred and benefits stopped after treatment ended.
research Clinical Findings, Cutaneous Pathology, and Response to Therapy in 21 Patients With Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans
The study found that Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans is a genetic skin condition that starts in childhood, involves inflammation and scarring, and current treatments are only somewhat effective.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Ablation of the NF-κB Regulatory Protein A20 (TNFAIP3) Reveals a Role in the Control of Epidermal Homeostasis
A20 protein is crucial for normal skin and hair development.
research Mast Cell Deficient and Neurokinin-1 Receptor Knockout Mice Are Protected from Stress-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Androgenic Activity in Autism
Some autistic children may have higher levels of male hormones, which could be linked to aggression.
research Ovarian Morphology Is a Marker of Heritable Biochemical Traits in Sisters with Polycystic Ovaries
Polycystic ovarian shape is a genetic sign of PCOS and its hormonal and metabolic features can be inherited.
research Review: Evolution And Diversification Of Corneous Beta-Proteins, The Characteristic Epidermal Proteins Of Reptiles And Birds
Corneous beta-proteins evolved uniquely in reptiles and birds, forming scales, claws, beaks, and feathers.
research Viral-Associated Trichodysplasia Spinulosa: A Case with Electron Microscopic and Molecular Detection of the Trichodysplasia Spinulosa-Associated Human Polyomavirus
A rare skin condition was confirmed to be associated with a specific virus in a young girl.
