research Exosomal microRNA-Based therapies for skin diseases
miRNA-based therapies show promise for treating skin diseases, including hair loss, in animals.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Skin melanocytes: biology and development
The paper concludes that understanding melanocyte development can help in insights into skin diseases and melanoma diversity.
research Nanotechnology in Dermatology
Nanotechnology in dermatology shows promise for better drug delivery and treatment effectiveness but requires more safety research.
research Interdisciplinarity traditional Chinese medicine microneedles in skin disease treatment: Recent advances and challenges
Combining traditional Chinese medicine with microneedles shows promise for effectively treating skin diseases with fewer side effects.
research 169 Clinical features, etiologic factors, treatment, and comorbidities of palmoplantar pustulosis: a retrospective single-center study
Smoking and certain health conditions like thyroid disease may make palmoplantar pustulosis harder to treat.
research Non-invasive human skin transcriptome analysis using mRNA in skin surface lipids
A new non-invasive method can analyze skin mRNA to understand skin diseases better.
research The use of cyproterone acetate/ethinyl estradiol in hyperandrogenic skin symptoms – a review
Cyproterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol is effective for treating skin symptoms related to high androgen levels, like in PCOS.
research An Insight on Ellagic Acid Formulations for the Management of Skin Diseases
Ellagic acid can help treat skin issues, but its effectiveness is limited by poor absorption, so new delivery methods are being explored.
research Use of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) Agonists in Modulating Preexisting Dermatologic Disease: A Systematic Review
GLP-1 agonists may help treat certain skin conditions.
research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 2: Pathophysiological clinical disorders of sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands are involved in various skin disorders, some treatable with medications like finasteride and minoxidil.
research Implication of Human Bacterial Gut Microbiota on Immune-Mediated and Autoimmune Dermatological Diseases and Their Comorbidities: A Narrative Review
An imbalance in gut bacteria is linked to skin immune diseases and may affect their outcomes and related health issues.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Skin and glucocorticoids: effects of local skin glucocorticoid impairment on skin homeostasis
Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research The Skin Microenvironment: A Dynamic Regulator of Hair Follicle Development, Cycling and Disease
The skin microenvironment significantly affects hair growth and loss, offering potential treatment avenues.
research 259 Immunohistochemical insight into the association between the collapse of immune privilege in the sweat gland and syringotropic immune cell infiltrates in collagen diseases
The study found that sweat glands normally suppress immune responses, but this is disrupted in certain skin diseases, possibly contributing to their development.
research Wnt Signaling Across Adult Skin Mini-Organs: Interfollicular Epidermis, Hair Follicle, and Nail—Implications for Disease and Regeneration
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin, hair, and nail health and regeneration.
research Accident by a rare wild animal with skin injury

research Integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses of human scalp identify gene-regulatory programs and critical cell types for hair and skin diseases
research Wnt10b Regulation of Hair Follicle Development, Regeneration, and Skin Diseases
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Skin Barrier Dysfunction in Acne Vulgaris: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Approaches
Improving skin barrier function is crucial for better acne treatment.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
