research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Host Genetic Susceptibility and Impacts of Dietary Factors on Covid-19
Certain genes and nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and omega fatty acids affect COVID-19 severity and infection risk.
research Clinical and molecular genetic studies in hereditary hair loss
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research Alopecia areata susceptibility variant identified by MHC risk haplotype sequencing reproduces symptomatic patched hair loss in mice
A gene variant causes patched hair loss in mice, similar to alopecia areata in humans.
research 1303 Insights gained from a chickens rapid hair development during hatching lead to discovery of hair growth peptide derived from egg yolk
Researchers found a substance in chicken egg yolk that helps hair grow.
research 1298 External light activates hair follicle stem cells through eyes via the ipRGC-SCN-sympathetic neural circuit
Light can activate hair growth through a pathway from the eyes to hair follicles.
research 1300 Blood plasma levels of heart disease biomarker cardiac troponin I are significantly increased in alopecia areata affected individuals
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of a heart disease marker in their blood.
research 1302 Disturbed sebum and microbiome composition in sensitive scalp
Sensitive scalp has higher pH, more redness, abnormal sebum, and altered bacterial makeup.
research All Roads Go to the Nucleus: Integration of Signaling/Transcription Factor-Mediated and Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms in the Control of Skin Development and Regeneration
The nucleus is key in controlling skin growth and repair by coordinating signals, gene regulators, and epigenetic changes.
research Effects of Collagen Peptides on Gene Expression Related to Hair Cycle Activation in the Skin
Collagen peptides may promote hair growth by activating certain genes in the skin.
research Unravelling the link between insulin resistance and androgen excess
AKR1C3 could be a treatment target for metabolic issues in PCOS.
research Australasian Society for Dermatology Research Meeting, May 2006
The meeting highlighted the genetic basis of female pattern hair loss and various skin health insights.
research Radiotherapy-Induced Skin Fibrosis: Pathophysiology, Emerging Therapeutics, and the Role of Dermatology
Radiotherapy can cause skin fibrosis, which is often overlooked and needs better treatment and evaluation.
research ARHGEF3 Regulates Hair Follicle Morphogenesis
ARHGEF3 is essential for proper hair follicle development.
research Biocompatibility of KAPs-Depleted Residual Hair
KAP-depleted hair causes less immune response and is more biocompatible for implants.
research AP-2α/AP-2β transcription factors are key regulators of epidermal homeostasis
AP-2α and AP-2β proteins are essential for healthy adult skin and hair.
research Hair follicle stem cell progeny heal blisters while pausing skin development
Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
research Responses of type II spiral ganglion neurites to stripes of laminin and fibronectin
Type II spiral ganglion neurites avoid high concentrations of laminin and fibronectin.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research Obesity and peri-implantation endometrium
Obesity negatively affects the endometrium, leading to higher miscarriage risk and impaired cell function.
research Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective
The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.
research Corticosteroids for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.
research Pioneer factors govern super-enhancer dynamics in stem cell plasticity and lineage choice
Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
research Biomaterials Functionalized with MSC Secreted Extracellular Vesicles and Soluble Factors for Tissue Regeneration
Biomaterials with MSC-derived substances could improve tissue repair and have advantages over direct cell therapy.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Bioengineering skin using mechanisms of regeneration and repair
Artificial skin development has challenges, but new materials and understanding cell behavior could improve tissue repair. Also, certain growth factors and hydrogel technology show promise for advanced skin replacement therapies.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
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.
