research An Updated Review of the Sebaceous Gland and Its Role in Health and Diseases Part 1: Embryology, Evolution, Structure, and Function of Sebaceous Glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Abstracts
New treatments and diagnostic methods for various animal skin conditions showed promising results.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
