Retinoic acid production and signaling in hair follicles are regulated by location and timing, affecting hair growth and cycling.
research An inherited nail dystrophy principally affecting the great toenails
The document concludes that an inherited nail condition often improves on its own, and spironolactone effectively treats acne in women.
research Analysis of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Receptors (VDR. in Basal Cell Carcinomas
Basal cell carcinomas have much higher levels of Vitamin D3 receptors compared to healthy skin.
research A novel regio-specific cyclosporin hydroxylase gene revealed through the genome mining of Pseudonocardia autotrophica

research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
