research Diverse mechanisms for endogenous regeneration and repair in mammalian organs
Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
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 The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Molecular biology of hair morphogenesis: Development and cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Estrogens and aging skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
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 Cutting Edge: Memory Regulatory T Cells Require IL-7 and Not IL-2 for Their Maintenance in Peripheral Tissues
Memory regulatory T cells need IL-7, not IL-2, to stay in peripheral tissues.
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 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 Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.
research Regenerating the skin: a task for the heterogeneous stem cell pool and surrounding niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.
research Cepharanthine: An update of its mode of action, pharmacological properties and medical applications
Cepharanthine is a well-tolerated drug with multiple medical uses, including anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research MicroRNA-302 Increases Reprogramming Efficiency via Repression of NR2F2
MicroRNA-302 helps improve the conversion of body cells into stem cells by blocking NR2F2.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Extraskeletal actions of vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Smoking and the skin
Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Ultraviolet Radiation in Wound Care: Sterilization and Stimulation
UV radiation can help sterilize wounds and promote healing but requires careful use to avoid damaging cells.
