research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Trichoblastoma with Sebaceous and Sweat Gland Differentiation
A rare benign skin tumor showed unusual features of sebaceous and sweat glands, important for correct diagnosis.
research Selective Induction of Apoptosis in the Hamster Flank Sebaceous Gland Organ by a Topical Liposome 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor: A Treatment Strategy for Acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype
Postmenopausal ovary stromal cells have a unique makeup and limited steroid production, suggesting androgens come from the adrenal gland.
research Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland De Novo Regeneration With Cultured Epidermal Stem Cells and Skin-Derived Precursors
Scientists discovered that certain stem cells from mice and humans can be used to grow new hair follicles and skin glands when treated with a special mixture.
research Medicinal Plants Used in Cosmetics for Skin and Hair Care
Medicinal plants like Aloe, Amla, and Coconut oil help with hair and skin care.
research Marked Reduction of the Number and Individual Volume of Sebaceous Glands in Psoriatic Lesions
Psoriasis lesions have fewer and smaller oil glands, which might affect the condition's development.
research Mitochondrial Function in Murine Skin Epithelium Is Crucial for Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions
Healthy mitochondria in skin cells are essential for proper hair growth and skin cell interaction in mice.
research Selected Disorders of Skin Appendages: Acne, Alopecia, Hyperhidrosis
The conclusion is that acne, alopecia, and hyperhidrosis are common skin issues with various treatments available, and accurate diagnosis is key for effective management.
research Activation of TRPV3 Inhibits Lipogenesis and Stimulates Production of Inflammatory Mediators in Human Sebocytes—A Putative Contributor to Dry Skin Dermatoses
Activating TRPV3 reduces skin oil production and increases inflammation, potentially causing dry skin issues.
research Isotretinoin
Isotretinoin is a preferred treatment for severe acne, often leading to long-term improvement, but requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects.
research Hair Follicular Expression and Function of Group X Secreted Phospholipase A2 in Mouse Skin
sPLA2-X is crucial for normal hair growth and follicle health.
research Skin Structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research Aberrant Wnt Signaling Induces Comedo-Like Changes in the Murine Upper Hair Follicle
Overactive Wnt signaling in mouse skin stem cells causes acne-like cysts and shrinking oil glands, which some treatments can partially fix.
research Sostdc1 Defines the Size and Number of Skin Appendage Placodes
Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research Long-Term Renewal of Hair Follicles from Clonogenic Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
research Disturbed Epidermal Structure in Mice with Temporally Controlled Fatp4 Deficiency
Fatp4 is crucial for healthy skin development and function.
research A Keratinocyte-Specific Epoxygenase, CYP2B12, Metabolizes Arachidonic Acid with Unusual Selectivity, Producing a Single Major Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid
CYP2B12 enzyme in skin cells converts arachidonic acid into specific bioactive lipids.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Autophagy Protects Murine Preputial Glands Against Premature Aging and Controls Their Sebum Phospholipid and Pheromone Profile
Autophagy prevents early aging and maintains lipid and pheromone balance in mouse glands.
research Role of Insulin, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, Hyperglycemic 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 Endocrine Intervention for Transsexuals
Hormone treatment for transsexual individuals is effective but carries risks like thromboembolic events and mood changes, with most side effects being minor and reversible.
research Anti-Cancer Properties of Olive Oil Secoiridoid Phenols: A Systematic Review of In Vivo Studies
