research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research The Clinical Evaluation of Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research Lineage Analysis of Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.
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 Hair Follicles, Their Disorders, and Their Opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
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 The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.
research The Use of Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Acne Vulgaris
Photodynamic Therapy is an effective treatment for mild to severe acne.
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.
research Activation of the OVOL1-OVOL2 Axis in the Hair Bulb and Pilomatricoma
The genes OVOL1 and OVOL2 are important for hair growth and may be involved in a type of skin tumor.
research Skin and Glucocorticoids: Effects of Local Skin Glucocorticoid Impairment on Skin Homeostasis
Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research Ultrastructural and Immunohistochemical Characteristics of Telocytes in Human Scalp Tissue
Telocytes in the scalp may help with skin regeneration and maintenance.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
research The Promoter of an Androgen Dependent Gene in the Hamster Flank Organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha Immunoreactivity During Induced Hair Follicle Growth Cycles in Sheep and Ferrets
