research The Utility of Elastic Verhoeff-Van Gieson Staining in Dermatopathology
EVG staining is a valuable, simple, and cost-effective method for diagnosing various skin conditions in dermatopathology.
research Mechanical Forces of Human Dermal Fibroblasts Significantly Decrease with Age
Skin cell strength decreases significantly as we age.
research A Nude Mouse Model of Hypertrophic Scar Shows Morphologic and Histologic Characteristics of Human Hypertrophic Scar
Nude mice with grafted human skin developed scars similar to human hypertrophic scars.
research Sex Steroid Synthesis in Human Skin In Situ: The Roles of Aromatase and Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein in the Homeostasis of Human Skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Neuronal Plasticity of the Brain-Skin Connection: Stress-Triggered Up-Regulation of Neuropeptides in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Skin via Nerve Growth Factor-Dependent Pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Alterations in Epidermal Stem Cells Within the Pilosebaceous Unit in Atrophic Acne Scars
Inflammatory acne damages skin stem cells and reduces their growth, leading to atrophic acne scars.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Effect of Estrogens on Skin Aging and the Potential Role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research The Endocannabinoid System of the Skin: A Potential Approach for the Treatment of Skin Disorders
Targeting the skin's endocannabinoid system could help treat skin disorders.
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 Adult Skin Acute Stress Responses to Short-Term Environmental and Internal Aggression from Exposome Factors
Adult skin quickly reacts to short-term environmental and internal stress, leading to various skin issues and the need for protective measures.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research Levodopa-Induced Skin Disorders in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Literature Review
Levodopa for Parkinson's disease might be linked to skin issues like melanoma, but it's unclear if the drug or the disease causes them.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Biology of Estrogens in Skin: Implications for Skin Aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Effect of Estrogens on Skin Aging and the Potential Role of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators
Estrogens and SERMs can help with skin aging, but their safety and effectiveness need more research.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Llama Dermatology
Llamas often have skin issues like mange, bacterial infections, and allergies, with some treatable by zinc.
research Localization of the Rabies Virus Antigen in Merkel Cells in the Follicle-Sinus Complexes of Muzzle Skins of Rabid Dogs
Rabies virus was found in specific skin cells of rabid dogs' muzzles, suggesting these cells could help diagnose rabies.
research The Use of Synthetic Polypeptides in Cosmetics
Synthetic polypeptides in cosmetics may help with anti-aging, but their effectiveness on real skin is uncertain.
research Regeneration of Dermis: Scarring and Cells Involved
Different fibroblasts play key roles in skin healing and scarring.
research Botanical Extracts in Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: Historical Use, Regulatory Approaches, and Extraction Processes
Botanical extracts are increasingly important in cosmetics and drugs for their effectiveness and safety, backed by traditional use and scientific evidence.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Hair Growth Modulation by Adrenergic Drugs
Certain drugs can cause early hair growth in mice by affecting the nerves.
research Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Whose Receptor-Mediated Signaling May Be Defective in Alopecia Areata, Provides Protection from Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research An Intrinsic Oscillation of Gene Networks Inside Hair Follicle Stem Cells: An Additional Layer That Can Modulate Hair Stem Cell Activities
Gene network oscillations inside hair stem cells are key for hair growth regulation and could help treat hair loss.
research Hair Growth Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Failure to Induce Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice with Exogenous Interferon Gamma
Interferon gamma alone can't cause alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice.
