research Drugs affecting blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and hemostasis
Some blood-thinning medications can increase the risk of bleeding, and certain factors like genetics and other health conditions affect their safety and effectiveness.
research Cosmetics and hair and nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
research Chemically Induced Depigmentation of Skin and Hair
Some chemicals can permanently or temporarily remove color from skin and hair, which can be distressing and is not well-regulated in cosmetics.
research Edthnopharmacological Review of Medicinal Plants for the Treatment of Alopecia
Various medicinal plants like Polygonum multiflorum, Red ginseng extract, and Zizyphus jujuba can potentially treat hair loss, offering benefits like low cost and multiple ways of working. Other effective natural substances include Pygeum africanum, Seneroa, Urtica dioica, and more.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Plants used in cosmetics
Natural products in cosmetics are beneficial for skin and hair care with low toxicity.
research Recent Understandings of Biology, Prophylaxis and Treatment Strategies for Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids
The document concludes that the understanding of scar formation is incomplete and current prevention and treatment for hypertrophic scars and keloids are not fully effective.
research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research Volatile signalling by sesquiterpenes from ectomycorrhizal fungi reprogrammes root architecture
Fungi-produced compounds can change plant root growth.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research Cutaneous complications of chemotherapeutic agents
Chemotherapy can cause skin problems like hair loss, mouth sores, and skin darkening, and recognizing these can affect treatment decisions.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Epidermal β-catenin activation remodels the dermis via paracrine signalling to distinct fibroblast lineages
Epidermal β-catenin activation changes the dermis by signaling different fibroblast types.
research Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome
People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.
research Prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance in parents of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Parents of women with PCOS have a higher risk of Type II diabetes and insulin resistance, especially fathers.
research Alopecia Areata: a Comprehensive Review of Pathogenesis and Management
New treatments for Alopecia Areata show promise but need to be more effective and affordable.
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 Primary cicatricial alopecia
Treatments for permanent hair loss from scarring aim to stop further loss, not regrow hair, and vary by condition, with partial success common.
research The roles of Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in tissue development and regenerative medicine
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is important for tissue development and has potential in regenerative medicine, but requires more research for therapeutic use.
research The blastema and epimorphic regeneration in mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Foxp3 Post-translational Modifications and Treg Suppressive Activity
Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.
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 Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Skin Regeneration and Rejuvenation
Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.
