research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Human Skin Stem Cells and the Aging Process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Acne, the Skin Microbiome, and Antibiotic Treatment
Antibiotics can reduce acne but may lead to resistant bacteria, and understanding the skin's bacteria is important for treatment.
research Temporary Hair Removal by Low Fluence Photoepilation: Histological Study on Biopsies and Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Low fluence photoepilation temporarily removes hair by targeting the hair follicle's pigmented area without severe damage.
research Resting No More: Redefining Telogen, the Maintenance Stage of the Hair Growth Cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Function and Underlying Mechanisms of Seasonal Color Molting in Mammals and Birds: What Keeps Them Changing in a Warming World?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Psoriasis Treatment in Difficult Locations: Scalp, Nails, and Intertriginous Areas
Treating psoriasis on the scalp, nails, and skin folds is challenging, often requiring systemic treatments for severe cases, with some success in topical and biologic treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: A Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis and Management
New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Mutant Laboratory Mice With Abnormalities in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis, Cycling, and Structure: Annotated Tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features and Potential Pathological Mechanisms of Skin Lesions in COVID-19: Review of the Literature
COVID-19 can cause various skin lesions, which may result from the virus and immune response, and are not directly linked to illness severity.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
research Regeneration of Skin Appendages and Nerves: Current Status and Further Challenges
Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
research An Open, Randomized, Comparative Study of Oral Finasteride and 5% Topical Minoxidil in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Oral finasteride works better than topical minoxidil for hair growth, both are safe.
research Drug Discovery for Alopecia: Gone Today, Hair Tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Pathways to Inflammation: Acne Pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research The Role of Nuclear Hormone Receptors in Cutaneous Wound Repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Genetic Interplays Between Msx2 And Foxn1 Are Required For Notch1 Expression And Hair Shaft Differentiation
