research EdnrB Governs Regenerative Response of Melanocyte Stem Cells by Crosstalk with Wnt Signaling
EdnrB signaling helps melanocyte stem cells regenerate and could be targeted to treat pigmentation issues.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Role of insulin, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, hyperglycaemic food and milk consumption in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Eating high-glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research “Sebocytes’ makeup” - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Corticotropin releasing hormone and the skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Resequencing Analyses Revealed Genetic Diversity and Selection Signatures during Rabbit Breeding and Improvement
Genetic analysis of rabbits identified key genes for traits like coat color, body size, and fertility.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Australasian Society for Dermatology Research Meeting, May 2006
The meeting highlighted the genetic basis of female pattern hair loss and various skin health insights.
research 1339 Casein kinase 1 inhibition in keratinocytes enhances the migration of melanocyte precursors in the hair follicle via KitL/c-Kit signaling pathway
Blocking casein kinase 1 in skin cells can help melanocyte precursors move better, potentially helping with conditions like vitiligo or gray hair.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Ultraviolet B irradiation increases the expression of inflammatory cytokines in cultured sebocytes
UV-B light increases inflammation-related substances in acne-related skin cells.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research The Role of Topical Vitamin D in Vitiligo: A Narrative Literature Review
Topical vitamin D is effective in treating vitiligo with few side effects.
research The murine hair follicle is a melatonin target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
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 Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Emerging Therapies for Acne Vulgaris
New acne treatments show promise as alternatives to traditional therapies.
research Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Synergistic effect of rice bran extract and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on dermal papilla/melanocytes in melanogenesis
Rice bran extract and low-frequency electromagnetic fields together may help treat vitiligo and white hair.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
