September 2023 in “Stem cell reviews and reports” This study introduces a new method to isolate stem cells from the hair follicle outer root sheath of equine skin, demonstrating that these cells, named eMSCORS, proliferate efficiently and can differentiate similarly to adipose tissue-derived MSCs, offering a promising alternative for equine veterinary applications.
In this study, researchers observed that individuals with acne vulgaris in the Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia had a significantly higher rate of vitamin B12 deficiency, suggesting a potential association that warrants further investigation.
Custom skincare can be made based on genes, fewer cats in Lublin have FeLV/FIV than national average, and studies also looked at small water bodies, river pollution, guppy growth, toxins in biochars, palm oil issues, and pumpkin seed oil for hair strength.
