research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Hair Cosmetics: An Overview
Dermatologists need to understand hair products to treat hair and scalp issues better.
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 Vitamin D and the Skin: Physiology and Pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research The Role of Tight Junctions in Skin Barrier Function and Dermal Absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Epithelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition in Cutaneous Wound Healing: Where We Are and Where We Are Heading
The document concludes that a better understanding of cell changes during wound healing could improve treatments for chronic wounds and other conditions.
research Liposomes in Dermatology Today

research Cell Death in the Skin: Mechanisms and Implications
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Hair Coloring, Permanent Styling, and Hair Structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research Bacteria Induce Skin Regeneration via IL-1β Signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: An Update
The document concludes that mouse models are crucial for studying hair biology and that all mutant mice may have hair growth abnormalities that require detailed analysis to identify.
research Practical Guidelines for Evaluation of Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome
Loose anagen hair syndrome, often affecting young girls, can be diagnosed with a hair-pull test and usually gets better on its own, but severe cases may need treatment.
research To Grow or Not to Grow: Hair Morphogenesis and Human Genetic Hair Disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Endogenous Human Skin Equivalent Promotes In Vitro Morphogenesis of Follicle-Like Structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research Evaluation of the Predictive Capacity of DNA Variants Associated with Straight Hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.
research Comparative Study on Seasonal Hair Follicle Cycling by Analysis of the Transcriptomes from Cashmere and Milk Goats
Cashmere and milk goats have different hair growth cycles and gene expressions, which could help improve wool production.
research Calcium Regulation of Stem Cells
Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research The Role of Lysophosphatidic Acid in the Physiology and Pathology of the Skin
Lysophosphatidic acid is important for skin health and disease, and could be a target for new skin disorder treatments.
research Thyroid Diseases and Skin Autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
research Application of Nanoemulsions in Cosmetics
Nanoemulsions improve stability and delivery of active ingredients in cosmetics for skin and hair care.

A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research Hair Cosmetics: Dyes
Hair dyes can change hair color temporarily or permanently but may cause side effects like skin reactions and hair damage.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure: Aging and Hair
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Reduced Cell Cohesiveness of Outgrowths from Eccrine Sweat Glands Delays Wound Closure in Elderly Skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
