research Alopecia Areata Update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research Corticosteroids for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.
research The Microbiome in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
People with atopic dermatitis have different skin bacteria, and targeting these bacteria might help treat the condition.
research Treatment of Invasive Aspergillosis with Itraconazole
Itraconazole is potentially effective for treating invasive aspergillosis, but more research is needed.
research C-Myc Activation in Transgenic Mouse Epidermis Results in Mobilization of Stem Cells and Differentiation of Their Progeny
c-Myc activation in mouse skin increases sebaceous gland growth and affects hair follicle development.
research Genetic, Hormonal, and Metabolic Aspects of PCOS: An Update
The document concludes that insulin resistance is key in PCOS development and early treatment is crucial to prevent complications.
research Tofacitinib for the Treatment of Severe Alopecia Areata and Variants: A Study of 90 Patients
Tofacitinib is effective and safe for severe hair loss, but full regrowth is less likely after 10 years of hair loss.
research Gender-Linked Differences in Human Skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: A Tissue-Specific Autoimmune Disease of the Hair Follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences: Mechanisms and Biomarkers
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research Skin CD4+ Memory T Cells Exhibit Combined Cluster-Mediated Retention and Equilibration with the Circulation
Memory T cells in the skin balance staying put and moving into the blood, clustering around hair follicles, and increasing in number after infection.
research Gender Differences in Skin: A Review of the Literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research Liposomes in Dermatology Today
Liposomes improve drug delivery and reduce skin irritation in dermatology.
research Antiretroviral Nucleoside and Nucleotide Analogues and Mitochondria
Some HIV treatments can harm mitochondria, potentially causing side effects like lactic acidosis and nerve damage.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Molecular and Functional Aspects of the Hairless (Hr) Gene in Laboratory Rodents and Humans
The document discussed the hairless (hr) gene in laboratory rodents and humans, highlighting its role in skin physiology and hair follicle biology. Although hairless and rhino mouse mutants were extensively used to study skin-related topics, the primary cellular defect of hairlessness was often overlooked. The identification of the human homolog of the hr gene on Chromosome 8p12 linked it to a congenital hair disorder in humans, similar to hairless mice. Mutations in the hr gene in mice served as models for understanding its function and the pathophysiology of related human disorders. The document reviewed the structure, expression patterns, and mutations of the hr gene, as well as associated pathologies, reproductive and immunological defects, and susceptibility to dioxin toxicity. It speculated on the potential functions of the hr gene product in skin and hair follicle biology.
research The Pathobiology of Skin Aging
The document reviewed the complex phenomenon of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative disease influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to issues like atrophy, fragility, defective repair, and reduced immunity. It highlighted the roles of stem cell dysfunction and genetic and epigenetic factors in skin aging, which also affected the microbiome and cancer development. Key changes in aged skin included altered keratinocyte and melanocyte distribution, reduced collagen and elastin, fibroblast structural changes, and increased matrix metalloproteinases, contributing to collagen breakdown. Aged skin also showed reduced immune function and increased susceptibility to infections. The review emphasized the need for future research to develop strategies to mitigate skin aging effects and improve public health strategies.
research Rhodococcus Equi: Clinical Manifestations, Virulence, and Immunity
Rhodococcus equi causes severe pneumonia in young foals, and effective vaccines are needed due to foals' weak immune responses.
research Sex Differences in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates and the Potential Link to Prostate Cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Liposomes in Cosmeceuticals
Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.
research Nanotechnology Approaches in Chronic Wound Healing
Nanotechnology shows promise for better chronic wound healing but needs more research.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Presentation, Diagnosis, and Unusual Cases
Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that can lead to complete baldness, often associated with other autoimmune conditions, and half of the cases may see hair return within a year.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Cutaneous Manifestations and Considerations in COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review
