research Eating Disorders: Progress and Challenges
Despite progress, better treatments and understanding are needed for the high rates of long-term issues and deaths linked to eating disorders.
research LL-37 Stimulates the Functions of Adipose-Derived Stromal/Stem Cells via Early Growth Response 1 and the MAPK Pathway
LL-37 helps stem cells grow and move, aiding tissue regeneration and hair growth.
research Alk1 Acts in Non-Endothelial VE-Cadherin+ Perineurial Cells to Maintain Nerve Branching During Hair Homeostasis
Alk1 in specific cells is crucial for proper nerve branching and hair function.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apoptosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
Hair follicle melanocytes die during hair regression.
research Comparative Gene Expression Profiling of Senescent and Androgenetic Alopecia Using Microarray Analysis
SA linked to mitochondrial issues and oxidative stress, while AGA involves disrupted hair growth genes.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Defines Keratinocyte Differentiation in Avian Scutate Scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
research Chitosan Stimulates Root Hair Callose Deposition and Inhibits Root Hair Growth
Chitosan slows root hair growth and causes a buildup of callose at low concentrations, but at high concentrations, it only inhibits growth without callose buildup.
research Three-Dimensional Reconstructions of Mechanosensory End Organs Suggest a Unifying Mechanism Underlying Dynamic, Light Touch
Dynamic, light touch is sensed through a common mechanism involving Piezo2 channels in sensory axons.
research Sterol Intermediates of Cholesterol Biosynthesis Inhibit Hair Growth and Trigger an Innate Immune Response in Cicatricial Alopecia
Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Protein Profiling of Forehead Epidermal Corneocytes Distinguishes Frontal Fibrosing From Androgenetic Alopecia
Protein profiling of forehead skin can help distinguish between frontal fibrosing alopecia and androgenetic alopecia.
research Differences in Reproductive Toxicology Between Alopecia Drugs: An Analysis on Adverse Events Among Female and Male Cases
Finasteride has a higher risk of reproductive side effects than minoxidil.
research Epidermal Stem Cells Manipulated by pDNA-VEGF165/CYD-PEI Nanoparticles Loaded Gelatin/β-TCP Matrix as a Therapeutic Agent and Gene Delivery Vehicle for Wound Healing
The gelatin/β-TCP scaffold with nanoparticles improves wound healing and skin regeneration.
research Immunology of the Human Nail Apparatus: The Nail Matrix Is a Site of Relative Immune Privilege
The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
research A Genomic Approach to Susceptibility and Pathogenesis Leads to Identifying Potential Novel Therapeutic Targets in Androgenetic Alopecia
Genomic approach finds new possible treatments for hair loss.
research Single-Cell Analysis Reveals Fibroblast Heterogeneity and Myeloid-Derived Adipocyte Progenitors in Murine Skin Wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Analysis of Changes in MicroRNA Expression Profiles in Response to the Troxerutin-Mediated Antioxidant Effect in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Troxerutin helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress and may be good for treating hair loss.
research Dissecting the Microenvironment Around Biosynthetic Scaffolds in Murine Skin Wound Healing
Different scaffold patterns improve wound healing and immune response in mouse skin, with aligned patterns being particularly effective.
research Lineage Commitment of Dermal Fibroblast Progenitors Is Mediated by Chromatin De-repression
Skin cell types develop when specific genes are turned on by removing certain chemical tags from DNA.
research Dental Cell Type Atlas Reveals Stem and Differentiated Cell Types in Mouse and Human Teeth
The research identified various cell types in mouse and human teeth, which could help in developing dental regenerative treatments.
research Computational Screening of Repurposed Drugs and Natural Products Against SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease as Potential COVID-19 Therapies
Some existing drugs and natural products might work against COVID-19 by targeting the virus's main protease.
