research Some Observations on Vitamin Metabolism in Germ-Free Rats
Germ-free rats need biotin for growth and have different vitamin metabolism compared to regular rats.
research Two Opposing Faces of Retinoic Acid: Induction of Stemness or Induction of Differentiation Depending on Cell-Type
Retinoic acid can either maintain stem cells or make them specialize, depending on the cell type.
research Severe Skin Permeability Barrier Dysfunction in Knockout Mice Deficient in a Fatty Acid ω-Hydroxylase Crucial to Acylceramide Production
Lack of a key enzyme causes severe skin issues and death in mice.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research Phytochemical analyses of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. var. spinosa seed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
The study found that Ziziphus jujuba seeds contain beneficial compounds for treating insomnia and anxiety and that the methods used are effective for assessing their quality.
research Topical ALA-Photodynamic Therapy for Acne Can Induce Apoptosis of Sebocytes and Down-regulate Their TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression
ALA-photodynamic therapy helps reduce acne by causing acne cell death and lowering certain skin protein levels.
research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Cutaneous Retinoic Acid Levels Determine Hair Follicle Development and Downgrowth
The right amount of retinoic acid is essential for normal hair growth and development.

Herbal compounds like ricinoleic acid, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, and hinokiflavone may be safe and effective for treating hair loss.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research Malva verticillataseed extracts upregulate the Wnt pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Malva verticillata seed extract might help treat hair loss by activating hair growth signals in skin cells.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research The therapeutic use of topical contact sensitizers in benign dermatoses
Topical contact sensitizers can treat certain skin conditions but are rarely used in the U.K.
research Investigation of the cutaneous penetration behavior of dexamethasone loaded to nano-sized lipid particles by EPR spectroscopy, and confocal Raman and laser scanning microscopy
Nano-sized lipid particles increase dexamethasone's skin penetration and create a reservoir in the skin layers.
research Topical absorption and systemic toxicity
Some chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause serious health problems.
research Dermal-epidermal interactions—follicle-derived cell populations in the study of hair-growth mechanisms
Dermal-epidermal interactions are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research Ferulic Acid Induces Keratin 6α via Inhibition of Nuclear β-Catenin Accumulation and Activation of Nrf2 in Wound-Induced Inflammation
Ferulic acid helps wounds heal faster by reducing inflammation and promoting skin cell movement.
research Alopecia Areata
The cause of alopecia areata was unknown, and while various treatments existed, no best treatment was agreed upon.
