90-120 / 485 resultsresearch Two Distinct Signaling Pathways in Hair Cycle Induction: Stat3-Dependent and Independent Pathways
There are two ways to start hair growth: one needs Stat3 and the other does not, but both need PI3K activation.
research Ligand-Independent Regulation of the Hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
research Effect of Estrogens on Skin Aging and the Potential Role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 Alpha-Hydroxylase Is Required for Optimal Epidermal Differentiation and Permeability Barrier Homeostasis
The enzyme 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 α-Hydroxylase is essential for healthy skin and recovery after skin damage.
research Mechanism of Action of Bolandiol (19-Nortestosterone-3β,17β-Diol), a Unique Anabolic Steroid with Androgenic, Estrogenic, and Progestational Activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Hairless Suppresses Vitamin D Receptor Transactivation in Human Keratinocytes
Hairless protein can block vitamin D activation in skin cells.

research Enrichment and Characterization of Human Dermal Stem/Progenitor Cells Using Collagen Type IV
Scientists identified a group of human skin cells with high growth and regeneration potential.
research White Lupin Cluster Root Acclimation to Phosphorus Deficiency and Root Hair Development Involve Unique Glycerophosphodiester Phosphodiesterases
White lupin uses specific genes to grow root hairs and access phosphorus when it's scarce.
research The Non-Neuronal and Nonmuscular Effects of Botulinum Toxin: An Opportunity for a Deadly Molecule to Treat Disease in the Skin and Beyond
Botulinum toxin has potential for treating various skin conditions and improving wound healing.
research Role of Insulin Resistance and Diet in Acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Interaction Between Stem Cell Factor and Endothelin-1: Effects on Melanogenesis in Human Skin Xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.

Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
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 VEGF Upregulates VEGF Receptor-2 on Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Stimulates Proliferation Through ERK Pathway
VEGF stimulates hair cell growth and increases growth receptor levels through a specific signaling pathway.
research Nongenomic Effects of 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on Cartilage Formation Deduced from Comparisons Between Cyp27b1 and Vdr Knockout Mice
1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 directly affects cartilage growth and development.
research Tumor Promotion in Skin: Are Active Oxygen Species Involved?
Active oxygen species might be involved in skin tumor growth, but their exact role is unclear.
