Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
research The Scientific Legacy of Stephen Rothman
Stephen Rothman made important discoveries in dermatology, including the use of PABA in sunscreens, but never profited from his work.
research Pharmacological Inhibition of DGAT1 Induces Sebaceous Gland Atrophy in Mouse and Dog Skin While Overt Alopecia Is Restricted to the Mouse
Blocking DGAT1 reduces oil gland size in mice and dogs, but only mice experience hair loss.
research Late presentation of myotonic dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy should be considered in patients with hair thinning, and genetic counseling is important.
research The Skin at Different Ages
Skin changes throughout life, from development before birth to aging effects like wrinkles, influenced by both genetics and environment.
research Registrars’ Symposium: Summaries of Papers
Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
