research The effect of menopause on the skin and other connective tissues
Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.
research Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
research Design of a RADA16-based self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold for biomedical applications
RADA16 is a promising material for tissue repair and regenerative medicine but needs improvement in strength and cost.
research Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells
Radiofrequency exposure can stimulate hair growth by increasing IGF-1 in hair follicle cells.
research Micropigmentation
Micropigmentation is a widely accepted tattooing technique for hiding cosmetic issues and medical uses, with permanent results and few side effects, but risks infection if not done with sterile tools.
research Proline-rich protein-like PRPL1 controls elongation of root hairs in Arabidopsis thaliana
A gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtPRPL1, affects root hair length but not cell wall composition.
research Single-strand DNA breaks in human hair root cells exposed to mobile phone radiation
Mobile phone radiation can cause DNA damage in human hair root cells.
research The Role of Pannexin 3 in Bone Biology
Pannexin 3 is important for bone formation and the development of bone cells.
research Chemotherapy of psoriasis and other skin disorders with oral retinoids
Oral retinoids are effective for treating severe skin disorders but have reversible side effects and risks for pregnant women.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Protein disulphide isomerase-mediated grafting of cysteine-containing peptides onto over-bleached hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Synthesis and characterization of inclusion complex of the vasodilator drug minoxidil with β-cyclodextrin
Minoxidil mixed with β-cyclodextrin improves solubility and gradual release.
research Management of unwanted hair in females
Different hair removal methods have pros and cons, and more evidence is needed to prove laser treatments work.
research Prescribing testosterone and DHEA: The role of androgens in women
Testosterone and DHEA can benefit women's health but must be prescribed carefully due to potential risks.
research Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
research Analysis of hidradenitis suppurativa–linked mutations in four genes and the effects of PSEN1-P242LfsX11 on cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages
The document concludes that certain mutations may contribute to the inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that targeting TNFα could be a treatment strategy.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research A population‐based nested case–control study: the use of 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors and the increased risk of osteoporosis diagnosis in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
Taking finasteride for benign prostate hyperplasia may increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially at higher doses.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Voltammetric reduction of finasteride at mercury electrode and its determination in tablets
New, cheaper method measures finasteride in tablets accurately and quickly.
research Effect of the degree of acetylation on the physicochemical properties of α-chitin nanofibers
Lower acetylation makes chitin nanofibers thinner and more suitable for various uses.
research Permanent waving and hair straightening
Thioglycolate lotions are the most popular method for permanent waving and hair straightening.
research Scalp comedones after topical minoxidil
Minoxidil can cause scalp comedones and acne.
