research Polyclonal origin and hair induction ability of dermal papillae in neonatal and adult mouse back skin
Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
research Fluoride exposure and pubertal development in children living in Mexico City
Higher fluoride levels may delay puberty in boys.
research Signaling and Gene Expression for Water-Tolerant Legume Nodulation
The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can form nodules in waterlogged conditions using a different method that involves plant hormones and specific genes.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Defining the identity of mouse embryonic dermal fibroblasts
Researchers identified specific genes that are important for mouse skin cell development and healing.
research Young men’s coping with androgenetic alopecia: Acceptance counts when hair gets thinner
Acceptance reduces hair loss distress and medical consultations; coping mechanisms increase them.
research Male pattern baldness and risk of incident skin cancer in a cohort of men
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research ADVANCES IN PSORIASIS THERAPY
New psoriasis treatments are effective but come with side effects and risks.
research Chemotherapy-induced iatrogenic injury of skin: New drugs and new concepts
New chemotherapy drugs cause skin side effects, but treatments like minocycline and tetracycline can help reduce them.
research Dermatological Illnesses of Immigrant Poultry-Processing Workers in North Carolina
All immigrant workers in the study had skin problems, with fungal nail infections, athlete's foot, and acne or folliculitis being most common, affecting their quality of life, yet they didn't seek medical help.
research Hair Growth-Promoting Effects of Lavender Oil in C57BL/6 Mice
Lavender oil significantly promotes hair growth in mice.
research Prevention of lipid loss from hair by surface and internal modification
Surface and internal treatments can help prevent hair lipid loss during washing.
research Molecular modeling and structural characterization of a high glycine–tyrosine hair keratin associated protein
The 3D structure of a key hair protein was modeled, revealing specific helical structures and stabilization features.
research A review on laser and light-based therapies for alopecia areata
Laser and light therapies, especially the 308 nm excimer laser, are effective and safe for treating alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research The effect of dietary modulation of sulfur amino acids on cystathionine β synthase–deficient mice
Changing the diet of mice lacking the enzyme CBS can affect symptoms related to the genetic condition.
research How do we investigate haematuria and what role has finasteride?
Finasteride can treat prostatic haematuria, but its use is controversial.
