research The Murine Hair Follicle Is a Melatonin Target
Melatonin directly affects mouse hair follicles and may influence hair growth.
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 Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Revisited: The Key to Alopecia Areata Management
Restoring hair bulb immune privilege is crucial for managing alopecia areata.
research Psychological Stress-Induced Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune and Apoptotic Pathways
Stress may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata by affecting immune responses and cell death in hair follicles.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege and Its Collapse in Alopecia Areata
Hair follicles are normally protected from the immune system, but when this protection fails, it can cause hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Updates from the British Association of Dermatologists 91st Annual Meeting, 5-7 July 2011, London, UK
New treatments and management strategies for skin conditions like melanoma and Spitz naevi were discussed at the dermatologists' meeting.
research Silk-Inspired In Situ Hydrogel with Enhanced Anti-Tumor Immunity for Photodynamic Therapy in Melanoma and Infected Wound Healing
The silk fibroin-based hydrogel shows promise for treating melanoma and healing infected wounds by killing tumor cells and bacteria, and supporting skin recovery.
research N-(3,5-Dimethylphenyl)-3-Methoxybenzamide (A3B5) Targets TRP-2 and Inhibits Melanogenesis and Melanoma Growth
A3B5 can reduce skin pigmentation and slow melanoma growth.
research Loss of Epidermal Melanin Unit Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Hair Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Nano-Pulse Stimulation Therapy Is Superior to Cryoablation in Clearing Murine Melanoma Tumors
Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ Therapy is more effective and less damaging than cryoablation for treating melanoma tumors in mice.
research Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma Incidences Analyzed Worldwide by Skin Type Over Advancing Age of Males and Females: Evidence Estrogen and Androgenic Hair Are Risk Factors
Estrogen and androgenic hair increase melanoma risk, especially in European-ancestry individuals.
research Melanotic Pigmentation in Excisional Scar of Melanoma Patient Who Received BRAF and MEK Inhibitors
Patients with melanoma who saw dermatologists and were from higher-income areas were more likely to have follow-up visits, which was linked to lower mortality.
research Metastasis of an Untreated Thin Melanoma in a Very Elderly Patient
Even a small melanoma can be deadly if not removed, regardless of the patient's age.
research SOX4 Is Essential for Melanoma Tumorigenesis
SOX4 is crucial for the development of melanoma.
research Tumor Cell Adhesion as a Risk Factor for SLN Metastasis and Predictor of Disease Recurrence in Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
research Automated Assessment of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes Informs Mortality in Thin Melanoma
An automated system can predict death risk in thin melanoma by analyzing immune cells.
research P21Waf1/Cip1 Is Differentially Expressed in Epidermal Versus Follicular Melanocytes and Melanoma Cells and Is Phenotypically Regulated by UVB-Mediated Apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.
research Development of Heritable Melanoma in Transgenic Mice
The transgene likely activated an oncogene or interrupted a tumor suppressor gene, causing melanoma in mice.
research Dysplastic Nevi, Cutaneous Melanoma, and Other Skin Neoplasms in Patients with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1: A Cross-Sectional Study
People with myotonic dystrophy type 1 have a higher chance of getting skin tumors, including melanoma.
research Topical Application of Thymidine Dinucleotide to Newborn Mice Reduces and Delays Development of UV-Induced Melanomas
Putting thymidine dinucleotide on newborn mice's skin can delay and reduce skin cancer.
research Melanoma Prognosis in the United States: A State-Based Analysis of Associated Factors
Melanoma survival rates vary by state and are better where incomes are higher, more people have health insurance and education, and there are more dermatologists.
research MIG6 Is MEK-Regulated and Affects EGF-Induced Migration in Mutant NRAS Melanoma
Decreasing MIG6 can increase the movement and invasiveness of MEK-inhibited mutant NRAS melanoma, particularly when stimulated by EGF.
research Targeted Therapy in Melanoma
New treatments for advanced skin cancer are improving patient outcomes, but drug resistance and finding the right treatment combinations are still big challenges.
research Choroidal Melanoma and Lid Fibrofolliculomas in Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome
A patient with Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome also had choroidal melanoma, suggesting the need for careful eyelid exams in such patients.
research Carvone Decreases Melanin Content by Inhibiting Melanoma Cell Proliferation via the Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) Pathway
Carvone helps treat skin issues by reducing melanin and stopping harmful cell growth.
research The Potential Impact of Melanosomal pH and Metabolism on Melanoma
Melanin may help melanoma cells grow by aiding their metabolism.
research Assessment of the Effect of Ficus Carica Leaf Extract on B16F10 Melanoma Cancer Cells: The Roles of p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 in Inducing Intrinsic Apoptosis Cascade
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat melanoma by promoting cancer cell death without harming normal cells.
