research The melanocyte photosensory system in the human skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
research Neuroimaging of sleep and depression
Sleep problems and skin issues affect each other; poor sleep can worsen skin conditions, and some skin treatments can improve or harm sleep quality.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research NF-κB in biology and targeted therapy: new insights and translational implications
NF-κB signaling is crucial in many diseases and can be targeted for new treatments.
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 The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain (LBD) of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor (hGR) Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus of hGR LBD in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Adipocytes in Skin Health and Disease
Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research Ephrins Negatively Regulate Cell Proliferation in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle
Ephrins slow down skin and hair follicle cell growth.
research Chapter 7 Reproductive Dysfunction in Women with Epilepsy
Epilepsy and certain epilepsy drugs can lead to reproductive problems in women, but changing medication might improve these issues.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research A novel and safe small molecule enhances hair follicle regeneration by facilitating metabolic reprogramming
Small molecule IM boosts hair growth by changing stem cell metabolism.
research Alterations of gut microbiota composition in post-finasteride patients: a pilot study
Post-finasteride patients show changes in gut bacteria, possibly causing various symptoms.
research Phase separation: a new window in RALF signaling
LLPS is crucial for RALF signaling, aiding plant growth and stress resilience.
research Sexual desire in a sample of married Egyptian women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
Married Egyptian women with PCOS have lower sexual desire compared to those without PCOS.
research The Intersection of Sleep and Hair Loss: A Systematic Review
Poor sleep may lead to hair loss, and hair loss may affect sleep.
research The effect of blue light on the scalp and hair follicles
Blue light can damage hair and scalp, leading to hair loss.
research Exosomes derived from Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell promote hair regrowth in C57BL6 mice through upregulation of the RAS/ERK signaling pathway
Exosomes from stem cells help hair regrowth by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Melatonin and hair physiology: reasons and clinical efficacy data as a topical treatment of androgenic alopecia
