research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Physiologic Skin Changes in Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin darkening, varicose veins, more sweating, hair growth, hair loss after birth, nail changes, and gum inflammation.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Focus on a Complex Relationship
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Estrogens and the Skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Acne, the Skin Microbiome, and Antibiotic Treatment
Antibiotics can reduce acne but may lead to resistant bacteria, and understanding the skin's bacteria is important for treatment.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research WNT10A Mutation Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia by Impairing Progenitor Cell Proliferation and KLF4-Mediated Differentiation
A WNT10A gene mutation leads to ectodermal dysplasia by disrupting cell growth and differentiation.
research Regeneration of Skin Appendages and Nerves: Current Status and Further Challenges
Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Disruption of Smad4 in Mouse Epidermis Leads to Depletion of Follicle Stem Cells
Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
research Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Three Cases of Immune-Mediated Adnexal Skin Disease Treated with Cyclosporin
Cyclosporin effectively and safely treated skin diseases in three pets with no side effects.
research Glutamate Transporter SLC1A3 Mediates Inter-Niche Stem Cell Activation During Skin Growth
The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
research Fatty Acids and Related Lipid Mediators in the Regulation of Cutaneous Inflammation
Certain fats in the skin help control inflammation and health, and changing these fats through diet or supplements might treat skin inflammation.
research Smad4-Dependent Desmoglein-4 Expression Contributes to Hair Follicle Integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
