research Gender differences in skin: A review of the literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research Biocompatible nanoparticles and vesicular systems in transdermal drug delivery for various skin diseases
Nanoparticles improve drug delivery through the skin but more research is needed on their long-term effects and skin penetration challenges.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Cost-effectiveness of palliative chemotherapy in advanced gastrointestinal cancer
Palliative chemotherapy is cost-effective for advanced gastric and colorectal cancer but not clearly for pancreatic-biliary cancer.
research Hierarchical patterning modes orchestrate hair follicle morphogenesis
Hair follicle patterns form through a mix of self-organization and signaling interactions.
research Cutaneous lupus erythematosus: a review
Patients with certain skin symptoms and high ANA titers should be monitored for potential systemic lupus.
research Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Evaluation of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Targeted 99mTc-Radioimaging Agents
Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.
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 Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers*
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Paneth Cells in Intestinal Homeostasis and Tissue Injury
Paneth cells help support stem cells and aid tissue regeneration after injury.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research Clinical and endocrine characteristics of the main polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have varying severity, with Type I being the most severe and common.
research The IL-23/IL-17 Pathway in Inflammatory Skin Diseases: From Bench to Bedside
Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.
research Age-associated inflammation inhibits epidermal stem cell function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
research Pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and activity of intravenous dextran sulfate in human immunodeficiency virus infection
Dextran sulfate was found to be toxic and ineffective for treating HIV.
research Molecular mechanisms of viral oncogenesis in humans
Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
research Prevalence of dermatological disorders in Japan: A nationwide, cross-sectional, seasonal, multicenter, hospital-based study
Eczema and fungal infections are the most common skin problems in Japan, with different age groups and genders affected by various conditions.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Liposomes in dermatology today
Liposomes improve drug delivery and reduce skin irritation in dermatology.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Transplantation immunology: Solid organ and bone marrow
Transplant success has improved with better immunosuppressive drugs and donor matching.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Women
Androgenetic alopecia in women needs more research and better management strategies.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Do men’s faces really signal heritable immunocompetence?
Masculine facial features may not reliably indicate heritable health, and more research is needed.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Somatic stem cell heterogeneity: diversity in the blood, skin and intestinal stem cell compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
