Glossary Skin Carcinogenesis

Skin carcinogenesis refers to the process by which normal skin cells undergo malignant transformation, leading to the development of skin cancer. This process is often influenced by factors such as UV radiation, chemical exposure, and genetic predispositions. In the context of hair loss, certain skin cancers can affect the scalp and hair follicles, potentially leading to hair thinning or loss. Key distinguishing characteristics include the type of skin cancer (e.g., melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) and the mechanisms of tumor development, which can vary significantly among different skin cancer types.

research Promotion of Skin Carcinogenesis by Dimethylarsinic Acid in Keratin (K6)/ODC Transgenic Mice

48 citations , June 2000 in “Japanese Journal of Cancer Research”

This study found that dimethylarsinic acid significantly accelerates skin tumor development in hair follicle-targeted K6/ODC transgenic mice.

research Targeted disruption of Bcl‐x_L in mouse keratinocytes inhibits both UVB‐ and chemically induced skin carcinogenesis

36 citations , March 2009 in “Molecular Carcinogenesis”

This study found that Bcl-xL deficiency in mice increased apoptosis and resistance to skin tumor development, highlighting Bcl-xL's role in early skin carcinogenesis through anti-apoptotic functions.

research Expression of the human Cathepsin L inhibitor hurpin in mice: skin alterations and increased carcinogenesis

21 citations , August 2007 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that mice genetically modified to overexpress the serine protease inhibitor hurpin showed reduced UV-induced apoptosis but increased susceptibility to skin cancer after chemical carcinogenesis.

research Lgr5+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors

8 citations , July 2016 in “Oncotarget”

This study reports that actively proliferating Lgr5+ stem cells in hair follicles do not appear to drive tumor formation in experimental skin carcinogenesis.

research Keratinocyte-Expressed Podoplanin is Dispensable for Multi-Step Skin Carcinogenesis

7 citations , June 2020 in “Cells”

In this study, mice lacking podoplanin in epidermal keratinocytes showed reduced tumor cell invasion and peritumoral lymphangiogenesis, suggesting that keratinocyte-expressed podoplanin contributes to advanced stages of skin tumor progression.

community Skin Aging and Minox

5 upvotes 11 years ago

The conversation is about concerns over skin aging from using minoxidil for hair loss, with the user planning to use a minimal amount to avoid side effects. Other users suggest that overuse may cause temporary skin dryness but not actual aging, and emphasize proper application.

community Scalp Skin Barrier Health and Hair Follicle Cycling: A Potential Overlooked Connection

in Technology 4 months ago

The conversation discusses the importance of scalp skin barrier health in hair follicle cycling, suggesting treatments like ceramides or niacinamide to support hair growth. It also mentions the use of finasteride for hair loss.

community Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting

4 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil can be effectively delivered through nanoemulsions containing eucalyptol or oleic acid, enhancing its diffusivity and targeting hair follicles. This contradicts the advice against mixing minoxidil with oils in topical formulations.

community Is there any good collagen to use for skin, nails, hair, and joints?

2 upvotes 2 months ago

Collagen supplements for improving skin, hair, nails, and joints. Recommendations include standard collagen peptide powder and Live Conscious collagen peptide, though some users doubt their effectiveness.

community Will minoxidil cause your skin to age from the collagen inhibition?

2 upvotes 7 months ago

Minoxidil is unlikely to cause skin aging at typical doses, and concerns about collagen inhibition are mostly unfounded. Users suggest using sunscreen and tretinoin for skin health, and some combine minoxidil with finasteride for hair maintenance.

learn Melatonin

Can melatonin cause side effects on the skin or hair? Melatonin may cause hair loss or thinning in some users, but evidence is limited.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Does scalp micropigmentation work on all skin tones and hair colors? Scalp micropigmentation can be customized for various skin tones and hair colors.
Is scalp micropigmentation suitable for people with sensitive skin? Providers say scalp micropigmentation suits most skin types and describe patch tests, hypoallergenic pigments and a skin consultation for sensitive skin. These are provider claims rather than independent safety evidence, and pigment reactions remain a risk.

learn retinol

How does retinol improve scalp health and prepare the skin for other hair growth treatments? Retinol improves scalp health by promoting cellular turnover and reducing congestion.

learn Hyaluronic Acid

Does hyaluronic acid really hydrate the scalp, or is it mainly for skin care? Hyaluronic acid can hydrate the scalp, but its effectiveness may vary.
