research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Nerve-Derived Sonic Hedgehog Defines a Niche for Hair Follicle Stem Cells Capable of Becoming Epidermal Stem Cells
Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Genetic, hormonal and metabolic aspects of PCOS: an update
The document concludes that insulin resistance is key in PCOS development and early treatment is crucial to prevent complications.
research Hair and scalp dermatoscopy
Dermatoscopy is useful for identifying different hair and scalp conditions and can reduce the need for biopsies.
research The Current Landscape for Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing: Legal, Ethical, and Policy Issues
The document concludes that the fast-growing direct-to-consumer genetic testing market lacks sufficient regulation, posing risks to consumers due to questionable test quality and accuracy.
research Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a reversible hair loss condition that requires a detailed diagnosis and often resolves on its own.
research Follicular transport route – Research progress and future perspectives
Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Organogenesis From Dissociated Cells: Generation of Mature Cycling Hair Follicles From Skin-Derived Cells
Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Fully functional hair follicle regeneration through the rearrangement of stem cells and their niches
Regenerated fully functional hair follicles using stem cells, with potential for hair regrowth therapy.
research Cutaneous Scarring: Basic Science, Current Treatments, and Future Directions
New effective scar treatments are urgently needed due to the current options' limited success.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation/Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Action of isotretinoin in acne rosacea and gram-negative folliculitis
Isotretinoin is highly effective in treating severe acne, rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Telocytes in human skin – are they involved in skin regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research Age-associated inflammation inhibits epidermal stem cell function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Hairless triggers reactivation of hair growth by promoting Wnt signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research EEMCO Guidance for the in vivo Assessment of Skin Greasiness
The document recommends using both clinical evaluation and various measurement methods to assess skin greasiness, considering factors like temperature and hormones.
