research Tissue Mechanics in Haired Murine Skin: Potential Implications for Skin Aging
Older mice have stiffer skin with less elasticity due to changes in collagen and skin structure, affecting aging and hair loss.
research STIM1, But Not STIM2, Is the Calcium Sensor Critical for Sweat Secretion
STIM1 is essential for sweat secretion.
research Spatiotemporal Antagonism in Mesenchymal-Epithelial Signaling in Sweat Versus Hair Fate Decision
Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.
research Apocrine Sweat Gland Obstruction by Antiperspirants Allowing Transdermal Absorption of Cutaneous Generated Hormones and Pheromones as a Link to the Observed Incidence Rates of Breast and Prostate Cancer in the 20th Century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Convergent Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, showing complex skin evolution.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Cosmeceuticals: Peptides, Proteins, And Growth Factors
Peptides, proteins, and growth factors in skincare show promise for improving skin health.
research Studies on the Persistence of Estradiol Benzoate and Nortestosterone Decanoate in Hair of Cattle Following Treatment with Growth Promoters, Determined by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.
research Virilism and Ectopic Expression of HSD17B5 in Mature Cystic Teratoma
A woman's mature cystic teratoma caused her virilization by producing testosterone.
research Regenerative Medicine of Epidermal Structures
New treatments for skin and hair repair show promise, but further improvements are needed.
research Sebum Production: Analysis, Impact, and Measurement Methods
Sebum production varies by individual and is influenced by age, gender, and hormones, affecting skin and hair health.
research Hair as a Retrospective Calendar of Cortisol Production—Increased Cortisol Incorporation into Hair in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Hair cortisol levels can show increased stress during late pregnancy but only for up to six months.
research Scalable Production of Controllable Dermal Papilla Spheroids on PVA Surfaces and the Effects of Spheroid Size on Hair Follicle Regeneration
Larger spheroids improve hair growth, but size doesn't guarantee thicker hair.
research An Attempt to Assess the Magnitude of Endogenous Androgen Production in a Case of the Adrenogenital Syndrome
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Immunohistochemical Insight Into the Association Between the Collapse of Immune Privilege in the Sweat Gland and Syringotropic Immune Cell Infiltrates in Collagen Diseases
The study found that sweat glands normally suppress immune responses, but this is disrupted in certain skin diseases, possibly contributing to their development.
research Visualization of Sweat Suppression Following Botulinum Toxin A by Soluble Microneedle Arrays
Microneedle arrays deliver botulinum toxin effectively for sweat suppression, similar to injections.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation and Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Reduced Cell Cohesiveness of Outgrowths from Eccrine Sweat Glands Delays Wound Closure in Elderly Skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on Its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
research Effect of Topical Application of Raspberry Ketone on Dermal Production of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Mice and on Hair Growth and Skin Elasticity in Humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research Androgens Modulate Keratinocyte Differentiation Indirectly Through Enhancing Growth Factor Production From Dermal Fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Physiological Changes in the Skin During Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation, stretch marks, and changes in hair, nails, and sweat glands, with most resolving after birth.
research Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Markers for Human Eccrine and Apocrine Sweat Glands: An Aid for Histopathologic Differentiation of Sweat Gland Tumors
Markers help differentiate between apocrine and eccrine sweat glands to identify sweat gland tumors.
research Contraceptive Use in Acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
