research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Skin expression of mammalian target of rapamycin and forkhead box transcription factor O1, and serum insulin‐like growth factor‐1 in patients with acne vulgaris and their relationship with diet
Eating a high-glycemic diet may worsen acne by increasing certain protein levels and expressions in the skin.
research `A Dubious Equality': Men, Women and Cosmetic Surgery
The document concludes that cosmetic surgery is still mainly a practice for women and the gender gap in this field is expected to continue.
research Mast cell deficient and neurokinin-1 receptor knockout mice are protected from stress-induced hair growth inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Zinc deficiency and its management in the pediatric population: A literature review and proposed etiologic classification
Zinc deficiency in children can cause skin issues and can be serious if not diagnosed and treated properly.
research 5α-reductase inhibition and hair growth promotion of some Thai plants traditionally used for hair treatment
Some Thai plants, especially Carthamus tinctorius, could help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth without adverse effects.
research Interventions for nail psoriasis
Some systemic treatments work for nail psoriasis but can have serious side effects.
research Early Onset of Androgenetic Alopecia Associated With Early Severe Coronary Heart Disease: A Population-Based, Case-Control Study
Early balding linked to higher heart disease risk.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Recent studies on the delivery of hydrophilic drugs in nanoparticulate systems
Nanoparticulate systems improve drug delivery by controlling release, protecting drugs, changing absorption and distribution, and concentrating drugs in targeted areas.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Protective effects of melatonin against metabolic and reproductive disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Melatonin may help treat PCOS symptoms in rats.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Evidence-based treatments for female pattern hair loss: a summary of a Cochrane systematic review
Minoxidil helps regrow hair in female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Food Deprivation-induced Expression of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in the Hypothalamus Uncovered by Microarray Analysis
Food deprivation increases MST enzyme in the brain, possibly affecting energy balance.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Oxygen, Metabolism, and Regeneration: Lessons from Mice
Mice with enhanced regeneration abilities may help develop new regenerative medicine therapies.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Enhanced remyelination during late pregnancy: involvement of the GABAergic system
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.
research Exploration of the role of anti-Mullerian hormone and LH/FSH ratio in diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The study concluded that both anti-Mullerian hormone and LH/FSH ratio are higher in women with PCOS and combining these markers with BMI could improve diagnosis accuracy.
research Responses of hair follicle–associated structures to loss of planar cell polarity signaling
Loss of Fz6 disrupts hair follicle and associated structures' orientation.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Off-Label Uses of Topical Vitamin D in Dermatology: A Systematic Review
Topical vitamin D is useful for some skin conditions but not effective for others, and more research is needed.
research Characteristics of robotically harvested hair follicles in Koreans
The robotic hair restoration device had a high success rate and was faster than manual methods for Korean patients.
research A sport crisis typology: establishing a pathway for future research
The document concludes that future research should focus on tailored solutions for managing sports crises and consider legal and cultural factors.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
