research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research A Novel Connexin 26 Mutation in a Patient Diagnosed with Keratitis–Ichthyosis–Deafness Syndrome
A new mutation in the Connexin 26 gene was found in a patient with KID syndrome, expanding the known disorders linked to this gene.
research A randomized evaluator blinded study of effect of microneedling in androgenetic alopecia: A pilot study
research A prospective study of the prevalence of clear-cut endocrine disorders and polycystic ovaries in 350 patients presenting with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia
Most women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia had polycystic ovaries, especially if they had irregular periods.
research Lack of Evidence for Sprouting of Aβ Afferents into the Superficial Laminas of the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn after Nerve Section
Aβ afferents do not sprout into the superficial spinal cord layers after nerve injury.
research A slow-cycling LGR5 tumour population mediates basal cell carcinoma relapse after therapy
A small group of slow-growing cells causes basal cell carcinoma to return after treatment.
research A Subset of TREM2+ Dermal Macrophages Secretes Oncostatin M to Maintain Hair Follicle Stem Cell Quiescence and Inhibit Hair Growth
Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
research Enhanced ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) signaling alters multiple fiber characteristics to produce the East Asian hair form
A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research A Novel Epithelial Keratin, hK6irs1, is Expressed Differentially in All Layers of the Inner Root Sheath, Including Specialized Huxley Cells (Flügelzellen) of the Human Hair Follicle
A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
research A Transition State Analogue of 5′-Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase Induces Apoptosis in Head and Neck Cancers
MT-DADMe-ImmA can selectively kill head and neck cancer cells without harming normal cells.
research A locus on distal chromosome 10 (ahl4) affecting age-related hearing loss in A/J mice
Scientists found a gene in mice that causes early hearing loss.
research A practical guide for the study of human and murine sebaceous glands in situ
The guide explains how to study human and mouse sebaceous glands using various staining and imaging techniques, and emphasizes the need for standardized assessment methods.
research A Novel Type II Cytokeratin, mK6irs, is Expressed in the Huxley and Henle Layers of the Mouse Inner Root Sheath
A new protein, mK6irs, is found in specific hair layers and may help understand hair growth and diseases.
research A dopamine-methacrylated hyaluronic acid hydrogel as an effective carrier for stem cells in skin regeneration therapy
DA-MeHA hydrogel effectively aids stem cell-based skin regeneration.
research A Small Molecule Inhibitor Partitions Two Distinct Pathways for Trafficking of Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins in Arabidopsis
Two distinct pathways direct proteins to vacuoles in Arabidopsis, affecting root hair growth and protein targeting.
research A Composite Model for the Transport of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Compounds Across the Skin: Steady-State Behavior
The model better predicts how water-loving and fat-loving substances move through the skin by including tiny pores and hair follicle paths.
research A role of placental growth factor in hair growth
Placental growth factor may help treat hair loss.
research A bald statement - Current approaches to manipulate miniaturisation focus only on promoting hair growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research How effective is intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide compared with topical treatments in inducing and maintaining hair growth in patients with alopecia areata? A Critically Appraised Topic
Intralesional triamcinolone acetonide can regrow hair in alopecia areata but often has temporary effects and side effects.
research A randomized placebo-controlled study on the effects of pioglitazone on cortisol metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research A population‐based nested case–control study: the use of 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors and the increased risk of osteoporosis diagnosis in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
Taking finasteride for benign prostate hyperplasia may increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially at higher doses.
research The Effect of a Very-Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) vs. a Moderate Energy Deficit Diet in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—A Randomised Controlled Trial
A very-low-calorie diet led to more weight loss and health improvements in obese women with PCOS than a moderate energy deficit diet.
research A Comprehensive Review of Mammalian Pigmentation: Paving the Way for Innovative Hair Colour-Changing Cosmetics
Innovative cosmetics could safely change hair color by targeting biological hair pigmentation processes.
