Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis with Itraconazole
Itraconazole is potentially effective for treating invasive aspergillosis, but more research is needed.
research Fibroblast Heterogeneity: Implications for Human Disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research The Circadian Molecular Clock Creates Epidermal Stem Cell Heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Long-Term Renewal of Hair Follicles from Clonogenic Multipotent Stem Cells
Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Stem Cells in Skin Regeneration, Wound Healing, and Their Clinical Applications
Stem cells are crucial for skin repair and new treatments for chronic wounds.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research Noggin Is Required for Induction of the Hair Follicle Growth Phase in Postnatal Skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research Commensal Microbes and Hair Follicle Morphogenesis Coordinately Drive Treg Migration into Neonatal Skin
Hair follicle development and microbes help regulatory T cells gather in newborn skin.
research Genome-Wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage
Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
research Adverse Effects of Opioid Analgesic Drugs
Opioid painkillers can cause many side effects, including breathing problems and addiction, but are generally considered safe when used properly.
research Loss-Of-Function Mutations of an Inhibitory Upstream ORF in the Human Hairless Transcript Cause Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research Epigenetic Control of Adult Stem Cell Function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Epidermal Stem Cell Diversity and Quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research Differential Expression of Fibromodulin, a Transforming Growth Factor-Beta Modulator, in Fetal Skin Development and Scarless Repair
Fibromodulin might help reduce scarring if increased in adult wounds like in fetal skin that heals without scars.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research Lupus Erythematosus: Systemic and Cutaneous Manifestations
Lupus affects the body and skin, causing joint pain and skin issues that can be treated with steroids and antimalarial drugs.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Somatic Stem Cell Heterogeneity: Diversity in the Blood, Skin, and Intestinal Stem Cell Compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research Mechanism-Based Inhibition of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase by Finasteride: Enzyme-Catalyzed Formation of NADP-Dihydrofinasteride, a Potent Bisubstrate Analog Inhibitor
Finasteride effectively blocks enzyme causing male pattern baldness.
research The Disintegrin/Metalloproteinase Adam10 Is Essential for Epidermal Integrity and Notch-Mediated Signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
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 Regulatory T Cells: The Many Faces of Foxp3
Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
