research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
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 Metformin: an old medication of new fashion: evolving new molecular mechanisms and clinical implications in polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition with Dutasteride and Finasteride on Semen Parameters and Serum Hormones in Healthy Men
Dutasteride and finasteride may reduce sperm count and volume but don't affect movement or shape; effects are reversible after stopping.
research Ethnicity, obesity and the prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes in PCOS: a systematic review and meta-regression
Women with PCOS are more likely to have impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, especially if they are Asian or obese.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling during mammalian development
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.
research Cutaneous Scarring: Basic Science, Current Treatments, and Future Directions
New effective scar treatments are urgently needed due to the current options' limited success.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research In vivo transcriptional governance of hair follicle stem cells by canonical Wnt regulators
Wnt signaling controls whether hair follicle stem cells stay inactive or regenerate hair.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Pharmacologic inhibition of JAK-STAT signaling promotes hair growth
Blocking JAK-STAT signaling can lead to hair growth.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
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 WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
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 TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Hormesis and medicine
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research Physiological and retinoid-induced proliferations of epidermis basal keratinocytes are differently controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
