research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Hormones and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
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 Treatment of Cultured Sebocytes with an EGFR Inhibitor Does Not Lead to Significant Upregulation of Inflammatory Biomarkers
Blocking EGFR in skin cells doesn't majorly increase inflammation markers.
research Expression of Potential Dermal Progenitor Cell Markers in the Tumor and Stroma of Skin Adnexal Malignant and Benign Tumors
Markers CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are present in skin cancer environments and may influence their development.
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 Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
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 Epidermal Growth Factor Promotes Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Mediated Wound Healing and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Epidermal growth factor helps stem cells heal wounds and regenerate hair follicles faster.
research Indian Hedgehog Controls Proliferation and Differentiation in Skin Tumorigenesis and Protects Against Malignant Progression
Indian Hedgehog helps control skin cell growth and protects against aggressive skin cancer.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
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 Short Communication: Temporal Changes in the Skin Morphology of Dairy Cows During the Periparturient Period
Dairy cows' skin and hair follicles change size and growth phase around the time they give birth.
research New Developments in Our Understanding of Acne Pathogenesis and Treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Regional Difference in Sebum Production by Androgen Susceptibility in Human Facial Skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Non-Invasive Human Skin Transcriptome Analysis Using mRNA in Skin Surface Lipids
The conclusion is that analyzing RNA from skin oils is a promising way to understand skin diseases.
research Hyaluronic Acid-FGF2-Derived Peptide Bioconjugates for Suppression of FGFR2 and AR Simultaneously as an Acne Antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research TNF-Inhibitor Associated Psoriatic Alopecia: Diagnostic Utility of Sebaceous Lobule Atrophy
Shrinking of oil glands in the skin is a key sign of hair loss linked to TNF inhibitor drugs and may improve if the treatment is stopped.
research Evaluation of the Effect of Plant Mixture Ethanol Extracts Containing Biota Orientalis L. Extract on Suppression of Sebum in Cultured Sebocytes and on Stimulation of Growth of Keratinocytes Co-cultured with Hair Papilla Cells
The extract reduced sebum production and promoted hair growth.
research Human Epithelial Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Their Progeny: Current State of Knowledge, the Widening Gap in Translational Research and Future Challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research Hair Follicle: A Novel Source of Multipotent Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicle stem cells are a promising source for tissue repair and treating skin or hair diseases.
research Stem Cells as a Target for the Delivery of Active Molecules to Skin by Topical Administration
Topical treatments can deliver active molecules to skin stem cells, potentially helping treat skin and hair disorders, including skin cancers and hair loss.
research Keratin K15 as a Biomarker of Epidermal Stem Cells
Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
research Exosomal MicroRNAs Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells Mediate Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair growth by making hair follicle stem cells multiply and change.
research Expression of Steroidogenic Enzymes in Human Sebaceous Glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Exclusive Androgenic Effect of Dehydroepiandrosterone in Sebaceous Glands of Rat Skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Genetically-Manipulated Adult Stem Cells as Therapeutic Agents and Gene Delivery Vehicles for Wound Repair and Regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research Stem Cells and Aberrant Signaling of Molecular Systems in Skin Aging
Skin aging is caused by stem cell damage and can potentially be delayed with treatments like antioxidants and stem cell therapy.
