research Short-Chain Fatty Acids from Cutibacterium Acnes Activate Both a Canonical and Epigenetic Inflammatory Response in Human Sebocytes
Short-chain fatty acids from *Cutibacterium acnes* cause skin inflammation, contributing to acne.
research Sebocytes’ Makeup: Novel Mechanisms and Concepts in the Physiology of the Human Sebaceous Glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Influence of Substance P on Cultured Sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture Depending on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands, and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Topical ALA-Photodynamic Therapy for Acne Can Induce Apoptosis of Sebocytes and Down-Regulate Their TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression
ALA-photodynamic therapy helps reduce acne by causing acne cell death and lowering certain skin protein levels.
research Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on the Upregulation of Inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Sebocytes
Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Activation of TRPV3 Inhibits Lipogenesis and Stimulates Production of Inflammatory Mediators in Human Sebocytes—A Putative Contributor to Dry Skin Dermatoses
Activating TRPV3 reduces skin oil production and increases inflammation, potentially causing dry skin issues.
research Expression of Dermcidin in Sebocytes Supports a Role for Sebum in the Constitutive Innate Defense of Human Skin
Sebum helps protect human skin from microbes.
research Lipid Droplets And Associated Proteins In Sebocytes
Sebum from sebocytes is important for skin health and linked to conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Ultraviolet B Irradiation Increases the Expression of Inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Sebocytes
UV-B light increases inflammation-related substances in acne-related skin cells.
research Vitamin D Increases Expression of Cathelicidin in Cultured Sebocytes
Vitamin D boosts a specific protein in skin cells linked to hair follicles.
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 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 Transglutaminase 2 Deficiency Leads to Lipid Accumulation and Reduced Autophagy in SZ95 Sebocytes
Lack of TG2 increases fat storage and lowers cell cleanup in skin oil cells.
research Establishment and Characterization of Human Sebocytic Progenitor Cells That Can Differentiate Into Functional Sebocytes
Researchers created human cells that can turn into sebocytes, which may help study and treat skin conditions like acne.
research MEK and BRAF Inhibitors Augment the Production and Accumulation of Sebum in Hamster Sebocytes
MEK and BRAF inhibitors increase sebum production and accumulation, which could cause acne-like side effects.
research Sebum Free Fatty Acids Enhance the Innate Immune Defense of Human Sebocytes by Upregulating Beta-Defensin-2 Expression
Free fatty acids in sebum boost skin's defense against acne by increasing antimicrobial peptides.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract of Quercus Acutissima Cortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Nicotinic Acid Suppresses Sebaceous Lipid Synthesis of Human Sebocytes via Activating Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 (HCA2)
Nicotinic acid reduces excessive oil production in skin cells by activating a specific receptor, which could help treat acne.
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 Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Beyond Acne: Current Aspects of Sebaceous Gland Biology and Function
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 Apoptosis May Explain the Pharmacological Mode of Action and Adverse Effects of Isotretinoin, Including Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin's effects and side effects, like birth defects and depression, might be due to it causing cell death in various cells.
research A Keratinocyte-Specific Epoxygenase, CYP2B12, Metabolizes Arachidonic Acid with Unusual Selectivity, Producing a Single Major Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid
CYP2B12 enzyme in skin cells converts arachidonic acid into specific bioactive lipids.
