The cosmetic industry should adapt to the varied beauty standards of ethnic groups and offer specialized treatments.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research Putative role for insulin resistance in depression risk in polycystic ovary syndrome
Insulin resistance is significantly linked to a higher risk of depression in women with PCOS.
research The structure of the cornified claw sheath in the domesticated cat (Felis catus): implications for the claw‐shedding mechanism and the evolution of cornified digital end organs
Cat claws stay sharp by shedding their outer layer through microcracks formed during activities.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
