Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.
research Markers to Evaluate the Quality and Self-Renewing Potential of Engineered Human Skin Substitutes In Vitro and After Transplantation
Cytokeratin 19 and cytokeratin 15 are key markers for monitoring the quality and self-renewing potential of engineered skin.
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 Physicochemical Properties of pH-Sensitive Hydrogels Based on Hydroxyethyl Cellulose–Hyaluronic Acid for Transdermal Delivery Systems for Skin Lesions
The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.
research Cloning of Wrinkle-Free, a Previously Uncharacterized Mouse Mutation, Reveals Crucial Roles for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in Skin and Hair Development
Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
research Contact Cooling of the Skin
Skin can be cooled quickly and safely during laser treatments to protect it without affecting deeper layers.
research Inhibition of Skin 5α-Reductase by Oral Contraceptive Progestins In Vitro
Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.
research Development, Characterization, and Use of a Fetal Skin Cell Bank for Tissue Engineering in Wound Healing
Fetal skin cells from a cell bank heal wounds faster and with less scarring than adult cells.
research Systematic Review: Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Platelet-Rich Plasma, and Biomaterials as New Regenerative Strategies in Chronic Skin Wounds and Soft Tissue Defects
Fat-derived stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and biomaterials show promise for healing chronic skin wounds and improving soft tissue with few side effects.
research Air Pollution, Autophagy, and Skin Aging: Impact of Particulate Matter on Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Air pollution (PM10) increases skin inflammation and aging by reducing collagen and may trigger a repair response in skin cells.
research Estrogen Functions in Skin and Skin Appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Topical Application of a Protein Kinase C Inhibitor Reduces Skin and Hair Pigmentation
Applying a specific inhibitor lightens skin and hair color.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Bacteria Induce Skin Regeneration via IL-1β Signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Design of a Biofluid-Absorbing Bioactive Sandwich-Structured Zn–Si Bioceramic Composite Wound Dressing for Hair Follicle Regeneration and Skin Burn Wound Healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Novel Skin Patch Combining Human Fibroblast-Derived Matrix and Ciprofloxacin for Infected Wound Healing
The new skin patch with human matrix and antibiotic improves wound healing.
research Targeted Disruption of Stat3 Reveals a Major Role for Follicular Stem Cells in Skin Tumor Initiation
Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
research Skin Conditions in Figure Skaters, Ice-Hockey Players, and Speed Skaters
Ice-skating athletes often have skin problems due to cold, infections, and inflammation, needing careful treatment and prevention.
