research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Somatic stem cell heterogeneity: diversity in the blood, skin and intestinal stem cell compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome: trying to understand PCOS and its endocrinology
The conclusion is that PCOS is caused by ovarian sensitivity to hormones and disrupted hormone control, possibly due to ovarian factors, and more research is needed.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
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 Obesity and the skin
Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Hormesis and medicine
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research Enhancement of follicular delivery of finasteride by liposomes and niosomes
Liposomes and niosomes improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Medical Treatment of Liver Hydatidosis
Surgery is the main treatment for liver hydatidosis, but has risks; albendazole is the most effective drug but can have side effects.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research Adult polycystic ovary syndrome begins in childhood
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome likely starts in childhood and may be genetic and influenced by early hormone exposure.
research Dermatologic Changes Associated With Interleukin 2 Administration
IL-2 treatment causes skin eruptions and other reversible side effects, and may play a role in psoriasis.
research Insulin Sensitizers for the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Systematic Review and Metaanalyses of Randomized Controlled Trials
Insulin sensitizers may slightly reduce hirsutism but are less effective than other treatments.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Achievements, Future, and Sustainability in Asia
Asia has made significant progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but wider clinical use requires more development.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Oral Spironolactone for Acne Vulgaris in Adult Females: A Hybrid Systematic Review
Oral spironolactone's effectiveness for adult female acne is not well-supported by strong evidence.
research A review of diagnosis and treatment of acne in adult female patients
Adult female acne treatment should be personalized, considering individual preferences and pregnancy, using various topical and oral medications while managing side effects and resistance.
research Biochemical Testing of the Thyroid: TSH is the Best and, Oftentimes, Only Test Needed – A Review for Primary Care
TSH is usually the only test needed to check thyroid function in primary care.
research Nocturnal eczema: Review of sleep and circadian rhythms in children with atopic dermatitis and future research directions
Children with atopic dermatitis often have sleep problems, affecting their growth and behavior.
research Atypical Progeroid Syndrome due to Heterozygous Missense LMNA Mutations
The research found that Atypical Progeroid Syndrome has unique symptoms and is not caused by the buildup of a certain mutant protein.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Phenotype and metabolic profile of South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): results of a large database from a specialist Endocrine Clinic
South Asian women with PCOS are more likely to have metabolic issues and central obesity, and simple measures like waist size and blood pressure can help identify these risks early.
