research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
research Severe cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs
Some drugs can cause rare but potentially deadly skin reactions, and early treatment and avoiding the drug again are key.
research Comparative regenerative mechanisms across different mammalian tissues
Understanding different species' regeneration can improve mammalian healing.
research Alopecia areata: a review of disease pathogenesis
Alopecia areata is likely an autoimmune disease with unclear triggers, involving various immune cells and molecules, and currently has no cure.
research ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management
Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
research An Update of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation after Nerve Injury
Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Keratin 17 null mice exhibit age- and strain-dependent alopecia
Keratin 17 is crucial for early hair strength and cell survival.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Careless talk costs lives: fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling and the consequences of pathway malfunction
Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling controls cell development and repair, and its malfunction can cause disorders and cancer, but it also offers potential for targeted therapies.
research Drug-Induced Skin, Nail and Hair Disorders
Some drugs can cause skin, nail, and hair problems, which are important for healthcare professionals to recognize and report.
research Skin Adipocyte Stem Cell Self-Renewal Is Regulated by a PDGFA/AKT-Signaling Axis
PDGFA/AKT signaling is important for the growth and maintenance of certain skin fat cells.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Maternal PPARγ protects nursing neonates by suppressing the production of inflammatory milk
A mother's PPARγ is crucial for preventing harmful milk that can cause inflammation and growth problems in babies.
research Alopecia Areata: a Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis and Management
New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.
research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
SOX11 and SOX4 help skin cells act like embryonic cells to heal wounds in mice.
research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research Replicative stress, stem cells and aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research FOXN1: A Master Regulator Gene of Thymic Epithelial Development Program
The FOXN1 gene is crucial for developing immune cells and preventing immune disorders.
