390-420 / 1000+ results 
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease
PCOS increases the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes in women.
research Secondary Cicatricial and other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Literature Reviews
Advancements in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery improve techniques and patient satisfaction.
research Calcineurin-based immunosuppression in renal transplantation : focus on efficacy, the role of steroids, and the cardiovascular risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Ethical Principles for Everyone
The document concludes that more research is needed on the hepatitis B vaccine's side effects and the effectiveness of certain treatments for specific diseases.
research Blinding in Placebo-Controlled Trials
The conclusion suggests that the zinc lozenge study is valid despite imperfect blinding, as many participants could not correctly identify their lozenge type.
research The role of Glucosylceramides in Keratinocyte Differentiation and Epidermal Barrier Function
Glucosylceramides are essential for healthy skin and proper wound healing.
research Mammalian keratin associated proteins (KRTAPs) subgenomes: disentangling hair diversity and adaptation to terrestrial and aquatic environments
Different hair types in mammals are linked to variations in specific protein genes, with changes influenced by their living environments.
research Autophagy Controls the Protein Composition of Hair Shafts
Autophagy changes the protein makeup of hair.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research Defolliculated (Dfl): A Dominant Mouse Mutation Leading to Poor Sebaceous Gland Differentiation and Total Elimination of Pelage Follicles
The Dfl mutation in mice causes poor sebaceous gland function and complete hair loss.
research Damage of hair follicle stem cells and alteration of keratin expression in external radiation-induced acute alopecia
Radiation damages hair stem cells and changes keratin expression, with Krt5 as a potential marker for radiation effects.
research Transglutaminase Activity Is Conserved in Stratified Epithelia and Skin Appendages of Mammals and Birds
Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.
research GJB6 missense variant in a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis
A genetic variant in the GJB6 gene likely caused the Labrador's paw pad condition.
research Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) transactivates Dlx3 through Smad1 and Smad4: alternative mode for Dlx3 induction in mouse keratinocytes
BMP-2 activates the Dlx3 gene in mouse skin cells, important for hair and skin development.
research Vitamin D and the skin
research Long-term expansion and differentiation of adult murine epidermal stem cells in 3D organoid cultures
A new 3D culture system helps grow and study mouse skin stem cells for a long time.
research Identification and dissection of an enhancer controlling epithelial gene expression in skin
A specific DNA region controls skin cell gene expression by working with certain proteins.
research Hair follicles modulate skin barrier function
Hair follicles play a crucial role in regulating skin barrier function.
research Multi-modal skin atlas identifies a multicellular immune-stromal community associated with disrupted cornification and specific T cell expansion in atopic dermatitis
A specific group of immune and skin cells may cause chronic inflammation in atopic dermatitis.
research Krtap11-1, a hair keratin-associated protein, as a possible crucial element for the physical properties of hair shafts
Krtap11-1 is important for hair strength and structure.
research Design and Validation of a Sensitive Multisteroid LC-MS/MS Assay for the Routine Clinical Use: One-Step Sample Preparation with Phospholipid Removal and Comparison to Immunoassays
The new LC-MS/MS method is more accurate and reliable than traditional immunoassays for measuring steroids in serum.
research UPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of caffeine and illicit psychoactive drugs in hair using a single-step high-speed grinding extraction – Insights into a cut-off value for caffeine abuse
The conclusion is that a new method can measure caffeine and drugs in hair, finding caffeine abusers have 70 times more caffeine than normal, with a proposed cut-off value for abuse.
research Hair Loss Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitors
Some drugs used to treat immune conditions may cause different types of hair loss.
research Litigation associated with 5-alpha-reductase-inhibitor use: A Canadian legal database review.
Canadian lawsuits involving 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are related to persistent erectile dysfunction side effects, with no judgments against companies yet.
research Comparative Anatomy of Mouse and Human Nail Units
Mouse nails are similar to human nails, making them useful for studying nail diseases.
research Proliferative and Non-Proliferative Lesions of the Rat and Mouse Integument
The project created a standardized system for classifying skin lesions in lab rats and mice.
research The expression of equine keratins K42 and K124 is restricted to the hoof epidermal lamellae of Equus caballus
K42 and K124 keratins are only found in horse hoof lamellae.
research Keratin biomaterials for wound healing and tissue regeneration: A promising approach in biomedical applications
Keratin biomaterials could help heal wounds and regenerate tissue, but more testing is needed.
