research The Browning of White Adipose Tissue: Some Burning Issues
Turning white fat into brown-like fat could help fight obesity and type 2 diabetes.
research Alginate and its application to tissue engineering
Alginate is great for tissue engineering because it's safe, easy to use, and helps heal tissues.
research Complications of Cushing's syndrome: state of the art
Cushing's syndrome can cause serious health problems, and early treatment is crucial, but some issues may remain after treatment.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 update on objectives, design and main results
The Rotterdam Study updated findings on elderly health, focusing on heart disease, genetics, lifestyle effects, and disease understanding.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Mesenchymal–epithelial interactions during hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research Skin wound healing in humans and mice: Challenges in translational research
The document concludes that mouse models are helpful but have limitations for skin wound healing research, and suggests using larger animals and genetically modified mice for better human application.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Melatonin in the skin: synthesis, metabolism and functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Timing of expression of the core clock gene Bmal1 influences its effects on aging and survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research Nerve dependence in tissue, organ, and appendage regeneration
Nerves are crucial for the regeneration of various body parts in many animals.
research SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
research Pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced hair loss
Chemotherapy causes hair loss by damaging hair follicles and stem cells, with more research needed for prevention and treatment.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Dermatoses of pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause various skin changes and diseases, with PUPPP being the most common skin condition specific to pregnancy.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome: Correlation between hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and obesity
High levels of male hormones, insulin resistance, and obesity are closely linked and worsen polycystic ovary syndrome, but more research is needed to improve treatments.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
research Mechanical stretch induces hair regeneration through the alternative activation of macrophages
Mechanical stretching of the skin can promote hair growth by activating certain immune cells.
research Metabolic risk in PCOS: phenotype and adiposity impact
Women with PCOS face higher risks of diabetes and heart disease, and these risks increase with obesity.
research Differential Stripping: Determination of the Amount of Topically Applied Substances Penetrated into the Hair Follicles
The new "differential stripping" method effectively measures how much substance gets into hair follicles.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
