research Endocrine Control of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Role of Cholesterol Sulfate in Epidermal Structure and Function: Lessons from X-Linked Ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development
TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research Learning From Nudity: Lessons From The Nude Phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Skin Epidermis
The skin protects the body and is constantly renewed by stem cells; disruptions can lead to cancer.
