research Skin Ageing in Women: Pathophysiology and Treatment
The document concludes that skin aging in women can be caused by UV exposure and hormonal changes, and treatments like hormone replacement therapy and various skin therapies can help.
research Cell death by cornification
Cornification is how skin cells die to form the protective outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
research 685 Modelling intrinsic and extrinsic cellular senescence in vitro with complex bioengineered human skin constructs
Bioengineered skin models aging well, useful for studying aging and testing treatments.
research Germline Mutation in ATR in Autosomal- Dominant Oropharyngeal Cancer Syndrome
A specific ATR gene mutation is linked to a hereditary oropharyngeal cancer syndrome.
research Survival of patchwork melanoblasts is dependent upon their number in the hair follicle at the end of embryogenesis
More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
research In vivo skin leptin modulation after 14 MeV neutron irradiation: a molecular and FT-IR spectroscopic study
research BAC-mediated gene-dosage analysis reveals a role for Zipro1 (Ru49/Zfp38) in progenitor cell proliferation in cerebellum and skin
research Hormonal manipulation of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Finasteride and dutasteride are equally effective and safe for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research A review of hormonal therapy for female pattern (androgenic) alopecia
Hormonal therapies like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone may help some women with hair loss, but finasteride 1mg is not useful, and the effectiveness of other treatments is still unclear.
research Desmosomes in Developing Human Epidermis
Desmosomes are crucial for human skin development, increasing in density as the skin matures.
research A review of hormonal therapy for female pattern (androgenic) alopecia - eScholarship
Hormonal therapy like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone may help female hair loss, but more research is needed, especially for pre-menopausal women.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlie Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Monilethrix Hairs and Congenital Scalp Erosions
Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.
research Parsing patterns: Emerging roles of tissue self-organization in health and disease
Understanding tissue self-organization can improve treatments for diseases and advance regenerative medicine.
research Mechanism of action and promising clinical application of melatonin from a dermatological perspective
Melatonin may help treat skin conditions.
research Directed Expression of a Chimeric Type II Keratin Partially Rescues Keratin 5-null Mice
A chimeric keratin partially improved skin structure in mice lacking keratin 5, but didn't fully restore normal skin.
research Alcohol and Prostate Cancer: Time to Draw Conclusions
Drinking a lot of alcohol increases the risk of prostate cancer and can worsen the condition.
research Tissue Mechanics in Haired Murine Skin: Potential Implications for Skin Aging
Older mice have stiffer skin with less elasticity due to changes in collagen and skin structure, affecting aging and hair loss.
research Imbalanced redox dynamics induce fibroblast senescence leading to impaired stem cell pools and skin aging
Imbalanced redox dynamics cause skin aging by damaging fibroblasts and stem cells.
research Crosstalk between vimentin and keratins in viral infection: Implications across the viral life cycle
Vimentin and keratin help viruses spread and could be targets for antiviral treatments.
research Mitochondrial dysfunction in metabolic syndrome and inflammatory skin disease
Mitochondrial dysfunction links metabolic syndrome and inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting targeted therapies and lifestyle changes.
research Maternal nutrition at conception modulates DNA methylation of human metastable epialleles
A mother's diet at conception can cause lasting genetic changes in her child.
research Brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) controls circadian cell proliferation and susceptibility to UVB-induced DNA damage in the epidermis
BMAL1 controls skin cell growth and UV damage risk, peaking at night.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research Melatonin as a major skin protectant: from free radical scavenging to DNA damage repair
Melatonin protects the skin by scavenging free radicals and repairing DNA damage.
research Effects of EGF on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
EGF makes hair follicles grow longer but stops hair production.
research Multifunctional DNA Hydrogels with Hydrocolloid‐Cotton Structure for Regeneration of Diabetic Infectious Wounds
The DNA hydrogel helps heal diabetic wounds by absorbing fluids, warming, sticking to tissue, killing bacteria, and aiding tissue and hair regrowth.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research OCT4 maintains self-renewal and reverses senescence in human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells through the downregulation of p21 by DNA methyltransferases
OCT4 helps hair stem cells renew and fight aging, potentially aiding hair regrowth.
research Tritiated Thymidine: Effect of Decomposition by Self-Radiolysis on Specificity as a Tracer for DNA Synthesis
Decomposed tritiated thymidine is less accurate for DNA tracing, and hair changes can indicate malnutrition.
