research CD98hc (SLC3A2) regulation of skin homeostasis wanes with age
CD98hc's role in skin health decreases with age.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Fatty acids and related lipid mediators in the regulation of cutaneous inflammation
Certain fats in the skin help control inflammation and health, and changing these fats through diet or supplements might treat skin inflammation.
research Breakdown of Immune Tolerance in AIRE-Deficient Rats Induces a Severe Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy–Candidiasis–Ectodermal Dystrophy–like Autoimmune Disease
AIRE-deficient rats developed severe autoimmune disease similar to APECED, useful for testing treatments.
research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Emerging concepts about prenatal genesis, aberrant metabolism and treatment paradigms in polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS may start before birth, involves metabolic issues, and can be treated with drugs like metformin and lifestyle changes.
research The efficacy and use of finasteride in women: a systematic review
Finasteride improves hair growth and reduces hirsutism in women, but side effects and optimal dosages need further research.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
research Similar response patterns to topical minoxidil foam 5% in frontal and vertex scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia: a microarray analysis
Minoxidil foam 5% effectively treats hair loss in both frontal and vertex scalp regions.
research Uncovering the complex relationship between balding, testosterone and skin cancers in men
Men with baldness are more prone to skin cancers on the scalp due to sun exposure, not testosterone.
research A Two-Stepped Culture Method for Efficient Production of Trichogenic Keratinocytes
A two-step method was created in 2015 to make more cells that help with hair growth, but they need to be combined with other cells for 4 days to actually form new hair.
research Efficacy of oral retinoids in treatment-resistant lichen planopilaris
Oral retinoids may help some patients with hard-to-treat lichen planopilaris, but more research is needed.
research CD133-positive dermal papilla-derived Wnt ligands regulate postnatal hair growth
Wnt proteins from certain skin cells are crucial for normal hair growth and renewal.
research Human Dermal Fibroblasts Demonstrate Positive Immunostaining for Neuron- and Glia- Specific Proteins
Fibroblasts can be mistaken for neural cells, so functional validation is needed.
research Indian Hedgehog Controls Proliferation and Differentiation in Skin Tumorigenesis and Protects against Malignant Progression
Indian Hedgehog helps control skin cell growth and protects against aggressive skin cancer.
research Anti-androgenic therapy with finasteride improves cardiac function, attenuates remodeling and reverts pathologic gene-expression after myocardial infarction in mice
Finasteride improves heart function and repairs damage after heart attack in mice.
research Localization of the rabies virus antigen in Merkel cells in the follicle-sinus complexes of muzzle skins of rabid dogs
Rabies virus was found in specific skin cells of rabid dogs' muzzles, suggesting these cells could help diagnose rabies.
research Updates in the understanding and treatments of skin & hair disorders in women of color
New treatments for skin and hair disorders in women of color address unique biological differences and include specific acne medications, sunscreens, skin lighteners, and hair care adjustments.
research Expression of an Olfactomedin-Related Gene in Rat Hair Follicular Papilla Cells
FP-1 is a key protein in rat hair growth, active only during the growth phase.
research Modulation of macrophage functions by ECM-inspired wound dressings – a promising therapeutic approach for chronic wounds
ECM-inspired wound dressings can help heal chronic wounds by controlling macrophage activity.
research Validation of a skin and coat scoring protocol in dogs
The protocol is easy to use, but reliable results need the same person to assess each time.
research An accessible pharmacodynamic transcriptional biomarker for notch target engagement
Hair follicle samples effectively show how well the drug MK-0752 targets and engages with the Notch pathway.
research A genetically informed brain atlas for enhancing brain imaging genomics
GIANT improves brain imaging by using genetics to better map brain regions.
research Can an in vitro hair drug model be developed using dermal papilla cells alone?
Dermal papilla microtissues could be useful for initial hair growth drug testing.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research 3D analysis of facial morphology in Dutch children with cancer
Children with cancer had slightly more unusual facial shapes than healthy kids, but not enough to easily tell them apart.
