The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research PPAR-γ Signaling as a Key Mediator of Human Hair Follicle Physiology and Pathology
PPAR-γ is important for healthy hair and its problems, and more research on PPAR-γ treatments is needed.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Progressive Expression of PPARGC1α Is Associated with Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research Expression Patterns of TRα and CRABPII Genes in Chinese Cashmere Goat Skin During Prenatal Development
TRα and CRABPII genes change their activity levels during goat fetal skin development.
research Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) and PPAR Agonists: The Future in Dermatology Therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey, an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research Thyroid Hormone and Wound Healing
Thyroid hormone may speed up wound healing and hair growth, but more research is needed to understand its role in skin repair and use as a treatment.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research Melatonin Membrane Receptors in Peripheral Tissues: Distribution and Functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Development and Progression of Alopecia in the Vitamin D Receptor Null Mouse
