research Impact of Constant Light Exposure During Pregnancy on Skin of Neonatal New Zealand Rabbits: Structural and Ultrastructural Study
Constant light exposure during pregnancy changes newborn rabbits' skin, affecting hair follicles, skin thickness, and pigment cells.
research Hair Greying and Its Palliative Management
Hair greying is seen as a sign of aging; temporary fixes like hair dye are used, but a balanced diet and hair care can help manage it.
research Comparison of Comedolytic Effect of Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene in Rhino Mice
Benzoyl peroxide and adapalene gels work differently to reduce acne in mice.
research The Blastema and Epimorphic Regeneration in Mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Scalp Hair Characteristics in the Newborn Infant
Assessing newborn scalp hair can reveal important health information.
