,
March 2005 in “Iranian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” This study demonstrated that liquid-state vesicles may reduce the absorption of finasteride through the skin while increasing its concentration and retention in the dermis layer in hamster models.
21 citations
,
December 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study proposes the sebogenic hypothesis, suggesting that hair follicles evolved from primitive sebaceous glands to facilitate lipid transport and improve water retention in early land-dwelling animals.

,
April 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.
April 2014 in “The FASEB Journal” This study found that Geranium Sibiricum L extract may promote hair growth by increasing cell proliferation and migration while modulating cytokine expression in human dermal papilla cells under stress conditions.
38 citations
,
August 2012 in “Biochemical and biophysical research communications” This study found that leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells have an endogenous circadian clock, with PER1 and PER3 expression possibly serving as biomarkers for assessing individual biological clock traits.
47 citations
,
October 2020 in “Communications Biology” This study found that maintaining tension-force balance in a human skin equivalent improved characteristics of skin homeostasis and structure, suggesting potential as an alternative to animal models for studying skin physiology.

,
December 2023 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.
2 citations
,
October 1988 in “Steroids” This study found that in non-obese women with moderate body hair growth, DHEA-S and prolactin levels were higher, and SBP was lower compared to controls, which may inform treatment decisions.
This study developed a co-design framework using finite element analysis to optimize bubble microneedles, achieving controlled tip separation and effective drug delivery through the skin and mucosa while maintaining insertion strength.
6 citations
,
November 1960 in “Experimental Biology and Medicine” In this study, despite morphological differences in the hair growth cycle stages, the lipid composition of the epidermis and dermis showed no significant variation, though water content and cholesterol levels differed between these skin layers.
12 citations
,
April 2013 in “Clinical & experimental ophthalmology” This article does not include an abstract and reports no new clinical findings; it discusses Demodex blepharitis that mimics eyelid sebaceous gland carcinoma.
November 1993 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article describes a newly developed portable instrument for measuring hair density, emphasizing its significance in advancing hair restoration techniques.
5 citations
,
September 2009 in “Acta Ophthalmologica” This study found that the Meibomian gland shares structural and cytokeratin composition similarities with hair follicles, and plays a role in hyper-keratinisation observed in obstructive Meibomian gland dysfunction.
January 2023 in “Applied sciences” This study suggests that Equisetum debile extracts, particularly the ethyl acetate fraction, may offer natural cosmeceutical benefits for treating hyperpigmentation, delaying skin aging, and remediating hair loss due to androgenic alopecia.
March 2022 in “Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences. E, Medical Entomology and Parasitology” This review examines the potential pathogenicity of Demodex mites in skin disorders, considering systemic factors like immunological imbalance and microbiome changes, but reports no new clinical findings.
