research Regeneration of Dermis: Scarring and Cells Involved
Different fibroblasts play key roles in skin healing and scarring.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Focus on a Complex Relationship
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Protoporphyrin IX: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Potassium Channel Therapeutics at the Bedside
Potassium channel openers are effective in treating heart conditions, high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, bladder issues, and hair loss, but more selective drugs are needed.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Disturbance of the Circadian System in Shift Work and Its Health Impact
Shift work disrupts the body's natural clock, leading to health problems.
research Roles of the Hedgehog Signaling Pathway in Epidermal and Hair Follicle Development, Homeostasis, and Cancer
The Hedgehog signaling pathway is important for skin and hair growth and can lead to cancer if it doesn't work right.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Wound-Induced Hair Follicle Neogenesis Through the Receptor Gpr44
Prostaglandin D2 blocks new hair growth after skin injury through the Gpr44 receptor.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions During Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Mechanical Forces in Skin Disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research External Light Activates Hair Follicle Stem Cells Through Eyes Via an ipRGC–SCN–Sympathetic Neural Pathway
Light can turn on hair growth cells through a nerve path starting in the eyes.
research Feline Dermatophytosis: Contagion, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Combining systemic and topical treatments, guided by weekly fungal cultures, effectively treats cat ringworm.
research Differential Expression Between Human Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding and Non-Balding Scalps Reveals New Candidate Genes for Androgenetic Alopecia
New genes found linked to balding, may help develop future treatments.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Targeting of CXXC5 by a Competing Peptide Stimulates Hair Regrowth and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Blocking a protein called CXXC5 with a specific peptide can stimulate hair regrowth and new hair growth in wounds.
research Identification of Sirtuin 1 as a Promising Therapeutic Target for Hypertrophic Scars
Sirtuin 1 could be a potential drug target for treating hypertrophic scars.
research Effect of P144 (Anti-TGF-β) in an In Vivo Human Hypertrophic Scar Model in Nude Mice
P144® improves hypertrophic scars by reducing size and thickness and increasing elasticity.
research Alginate-Based Hydrogel Containing Minoxidil/Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex for Topical Alopecia Treatment
A new gel containing minoxidil can treat hair loss effectively, potentially reducing side effects and improving treatment.
research Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor Alpha Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes
As skin cells mature, vitamin D receptor levels decrease while retinoid X receptor α levels increase.
research Therapeutic Indications and Use-Case-Driven Updates in the Drug Ontology: Anti-Malarials, Anti-Hypertensives, Opioid Analgesics, and a Large Term Request
The Drug Ontology was updated to better classify drugs for hypertension, malaria, and opioid abuse, and to allow for more accurate research queries.
research Perspectives in Dermatopathology: Telomeres and Telomerase in Aging and Cancer with Emphasis on Cutaneous Disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research Biofabrication of Human Skin with Its Appendages
Current methods can't fully recreate skin and its features, and more research is needed for clinical use.
research Involvement of Mechanical Stress in Androgenetic Alopecia
