420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Differential Expression of Genes Encoding a Cysteine-Rich Keratin Family in the Hair Cuticle
research Description of clinical aspects and microscopy of the hair shaft of a carrier of familial monilethrix
Monilethrix causes brittle hair and hair loss, and it runs in families.
research Biochemical Evidence That Small Proline-rich Proteins and Trichohyalin Function in Epithelia by Modulation of the Biomechanical Properties of Their Cornified Cell Envelopes
Small proline-rich proteins and trichohyalin help make epithelial tissues tougher and more flexible.
research 178 Neutrophil elastase is critical in linear IgA bullous dermatosis in mice
CD8+ T cells attack hair follicle stem cells, causing scarring and hair loss.
research Vitamin D inhibits captopril-induced cell detachment and apoptosis in keratinocytes
Vitamin D protects skin cells from damage caused by captopril.
research A Study of the Soluble Proteins of Normal and Pathologic Horny Tissues by a Modified Disc Electrophoresis Technic
Pathologic tissues have more soluble proteins than normal tissues.
research Erythrocyte deformability and hereditary elliptocytosis
Hereditary elliptocytosis causes elongated red blood cells and can lead to mild or no symptoms.
research Perifollicular Elastolysis: A Systematic Review of Clinical Characteristics, Histopathology, and Therapeutic Outcomes
Perifollicular elastolysis is poorly understood, with limited treatment options and inconsistent results.
research Cell cycle controls long-range calcium signaling in the regenerating epidermis
Calcium signaling in skin cells is crucial for communication and regeneration.
research Limbal microenvironment can induce transdifferentiation of hair follicle stem cells into corneal epithelial‐like cells
Hair follicle stem cells can become corneal-like cells with the right environment.
research Cryptic Patterning of Avian Skin Confers a Developmental Facility for Loss of Neck Feathering
Birds can lose neck feathers due to a genetic change that increases a gene's activity, helping them adapt to heat.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research Obesity and the skin: Skin physiology and skin manifestations of obesity
Obesity affects skin health, causing conditions like acanthosis nigricans and may require different treatment approaches.
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 Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Air pollution and skin diseases: Adverse effects of airborne particulate matter on various skin diseases
Air pollution worsens skin diseases and aging by causing inflammation and oxidative stress.
research Imaging of zinc oxide nanoparticle penetration in human skin in vitro and in vivo
Zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreen do not penetrate deep into the skin.
research Polymeric nanoparticles‐based topical delivery systems for the treatment of dermatological diseases
Polymeric nanoparticles show promise for treating skin diseases.
research Penetration of drugs through skin, a complex rate-controlling membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
research Follicular transport route – Research progress and future perspectives
Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
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 Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research Differential Stripping: Determination of the Amount of Topically Applied Substances Penetrated into the Hair Follicles
The new "differential stripping" method effectively measures how much substance gets into hair follicles.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Liposomes in dermatology today
Liposomes improve drug delivery and reduce skin irritation in dermatology.
research Acne, the Skin Microbiome, and Antibiotic Treatment
Antibiotics can reduce acne but may lead to resistant bacteria, and understanding the skin's bacteria is important for treatment.
research The Effect of Particle Size on the Deposition of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles in Different Skin Layers: A Histological Study
Smaller nanoparticles penetrate skin better, especially through hair follicles.
research Penetration and storage of particles in human skin: Perspectives and safety aspects
Particles around 100 nm can penetrate and stay in hair follicles without passing through healthy skin, making them safe for use in topical products and useful for targeted drug delivery.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
