research Penetration of drugs through skin, a complex rate-controlling membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
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 The role of hair follicles in the percutaneous absorption of caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Signaling in the stem cell niche: regulating cell fate, function and plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
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 Exosomes for repair, regeneration and rejuvenation
Exosomes could potentially enhance tissue repair and regeneration with lower rejection risk and easier production than live cell therapies.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue in Clinical Applications for Dermatological Indications and Skin Aging
Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.
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 Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Polysaccharides from Traditional Chinese Medicines: Extraction, Purification, Modification, and Biological Activity
Substances from Chinese medicines show promise for immune support and disease prevention, but the way they are processed affects their effectiveness.
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 Lignans and Neolignans: Plant secondary metabolites as a reservoir of biologically active substances
Lignans and neolignans from plants may help protect against various health issues, including cancer and heart disease.
research Aging of hair
Hair ages due to genetics and environmental factors, leading to graying and thinning, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
Treatments for permanent hair loss from scarring aim to stop further loss, not regrow hair, and vary by condition, with partial success common.
research Biomedical Applications of Layer‐by‐Layer Self‐Assembly for Cell Encapsulation: Current Status and Future Perspectives
Layer-by-Layer self-assembly is promising for biomedical uses like tissue engineering and cell therapy, but challenges remain in material safety and process optimization.
research Hair analysis in health assessment
Hair mineral analysis might help diagnose diseases early, but standard methods are needed.
research Ubiquity and Diversity of Human-Associated Demodex Mites
All adults have Demodex mites, which vary by region.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Extracellular vesicle-based drug overview: research landscape, quality control and nonclinical evaluation strategies
Extracellular vesicles show promise for treating diseases but face challenges in development and regulation.
research Adverse effects of common medications on male fertility
Some common medications can harm male fertility, but many effects can be reversed.
research Large Scale Gene Expression Profiles of Regenerating Inner Ear Sensory Epithelia
Birds can regenerate inner ear cells using specific gene pathways, unlike mammals.
research Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Skin Regeneration and Rejuvenation
Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.
research Stem cells in tissues, organoids, and cancers
Stem cells are crucial for tissue growth, cancer treatment, and disease modeling, but challenges remain in clinical use.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.
research The endocannabinoid system of the skin. A potential approach for the treatment of skin disorders
Targeting the skin's endocannabinoid system could help treat skin disorders.
research Alopecia Areata: An Evidence-Based Treatment Update
