research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
A new system for classifying curly hair types using precise measurements can improve hair care products and cultural inclusion.
research 854 Dermal fibroblasts enhance growth factors production by androgens, and modulate keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation
Androgens increase growth factors in skin cells, which may lead to acne.
research Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice
Minoxidil treatment increases aorta elasticity and reduces stiffness in aged mice, potentially helping with age-related heart issues.
research A doxycycline- and light-inducible Cre recombinase mouse model for optogenetic genome editing
The DiLiCre mouse model is an effective tool for precise genome editing using light.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Targeting a fibrotic bottleneck may provide an opening in the treatment of LUTS
New treatments targeting fibrosis could improve urinary symptoms in BPH.
research Skin physiology in microgravity: a 3-month stay aboard ISS induces dermal atrophy and affects cutaneous muscle and hair follicles cycling in mice
A 3-month stay in space causes skin thinning, disrupts hair growth, and changes muscle-related genes in mice.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research Scalp Biopsy and Diagnosis of Common Hair Loss Problems
Scalp biopsy helps tell apart permanent and temporary hair loss types and guides treatment.
research Posters Presented at the 19th Joint Meeting of the International Society of Dermatopathology, March 2–3, 2016, Hilton Crystal City at Washington Reagan National Airport, Arlington, Virginia, USA
The meeting showcased rare skin disease cases, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research Telocytes in human skin – are they involved in skin regeneration?
Telocytes might help with skin repair and regeneration.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Bio-multifunctional alginate/chitosan/fucoidan sponges with enhanced angiogenesis and hair follicle regeneration for promoting full-thickness wound healing
Sponge helps heal wounds faster with less inflammation and better skin/hair growth.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Dissecting the microenvironment around biosynthetic scaffolds in murine skin wound healing
Different scaffold patterns improve wound healing and immune response in mouse skin, with aligned patterns being particularly effective.
research Wnt Signaling and Aging-Related Heart Disorders
Wnt signaling may be linked to heart diseases in aging and could be a target for future treatments.
research MicroRNA Species in Follicular Fluid Associating With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Related Intermediary Phenotypes
Certain microRNAs in the fluid around eggs are linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and may help diagnose it.
research Human TSC2-null fibroblast-like cells induce hair follicle neogenesis and hamartoma morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
research Minoxidil improves vascular compliance, restores cerebral blood flow, and alters extracellular matrix gene expression in a model of chronic vascular stiffness
Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.
research Aging in the Male Face: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors
Male faces age with more wrinkles and hair loss, influenced by both body changes and environmental factors.
research Chronic administration of minoxidil protects elastic fibers and stimulates their neosynthesis with improvement of the aorta mechanics in mice
Minoxidil helps protect and rebuild elastic fibers in arteries, improving artery function, especially in older females.
research Bilateral Eyelid Pseudoptosis From Lipogranulomas of the Preaponeurotic Fat Pads
Surgical removal of abnormal fat pads fixed the woman's eyelid issue caused by likely silicone injections.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Progress in Relevant Growth Factors Promoting the Growth of Hair Follicle
Growth factors are crucial for hair follicle growth and development.
research Reliability of Histopathology for the Early Recognition of Fibrosis in Traction Alopecia: Correlation with Clinical Severity
