Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Genetic Dissection of Retinoic Acid Function in Epidermis Physiology
Retinoic acid affects skin and hair health by working with specific receptors, and its absence can lead to hair loss and skin changes.
research The Biology and Genomics of Human Hair Follicles: A Focus on Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.
research Vitamin D: More Than a Bona Fide Hormone
Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.
research Structural Perspectives on the Androgen Receptor, the Elusive Shape-Shifter
The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.
research Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor Alpha Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes
As skin cells mature, vitamin D receptor levels decrease while retinoid X receptor α levels increase.
research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research The Role of the VEGF, KGF, EGF, and TGF-β1 Growth Factors in the Pathogenesis of Telogen Effluvium in Women
