research Cell Death in Skin Function, Inflammation, and Disease
Different types of cell death affect skin health and inflammation, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin diseases.
research The Mouse Hairy Ears Mutation Exhibits an Extended Growth (Anagen) Phase in Hair Follicles and Altered Hoxc Gene Expression in the Ears
The mouse hairy ears mutation causes longer ear hair due to changes in gene expression.
research Alexithymia and Cutaneous Disease Morbidity: A Systematic Review
People with certain skin diseases often have more trouble understanding and describing their emotions, which can affect their health and treatment results.
research Reductive Stress Selectively Disrupts Collagen Homeostasis and Modifies Growth Factor-independent Signaling Through the MAPK/Akt Pathway in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Reductive stress messes up collagen balance and alters cell signaling in human skin cells, which could help treat certain skin diseases.
research Network-Based Approaches Reveal Potential Therapeutic Targets for Host-Directed Antileishmanial Therapy Driving Drug Repurposing
Researchers identified five new potential targets for leishmaniasis treatment, suggesting repurposing existing drugs could be effective.
research Minoxidil Sulphation in Human Liver and Platelets
Minoxidil is processed in the body by an enzyme found in the liver and platelets.
research Advances in Molecular Pathogenesis of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Dysregulated Keratins and ECM Signaling
Recent findings suggest that genetic factors, immune system issues, and skin cell defects might contribute to the development of hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Poly(rC) Binding Protein 2 Acts as a Negative Regulator of IRES-Mediated Translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated VDR Knockout Plays an Essential Role in the Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells Through Enhanced Relative Genes
Removing the VDR gene in skin cells reduces their growth and affects hair-related genes.
research Patterns of Common Dermatological Conditions Among Children and Adolescents in Pakistan
Scabies is the most common skin condition among children in Pakistan, with poor hygiene and contact with animals being major risk factors.
research Topical Delivery of Tofacitinib in Dermatology: The Promise of a Novel Therapeutic Class Using Biodegradable Dendritic Polyglycerol Sulfates
A new carrier improves skin delivery of tofacitinib for treating inflammatory skin diseases.
research Astilbin Activates the Reactive Oxidative Species/PPARγ Pathway to Suppress Effector CD4+ T Cell Activities via Direct Binding With Cytochrome P450 1B1
Astilbin can potentially calm overactive immune responses, like in Type 1 Diabetes, by suppressing certain cell activities and reducing inflammation.
research Acne Syndromes and Mosaicism
Understanding how acne develops in different diseases could lead to new treatments.
research C-Reactive Protein as a Novel Biomarker for Vitamin D Deficiency in Alopecia Areata
High CRP levels could indicate vitamin D deficiency in people with alopecia areata.
research Using Proteomics to Compare the Molecular Structures of Sulfide and Permeate-Depilated Sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Two drugs, finasteride and minoxidil, are approved for hair loss treatment, but new therapies are being developed.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research In Vivo Uptake and Metabolism of Testosterone by the Skin and Other Tissues of the Rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
