New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Madarosis, milphosis, eyelash trichomegaly, and dermatochalasis
The document concludes that changes in eyelashes and eyelid skin can indicate various local and systemic diseases.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Vitamin D receptor-mediated control of Soggy, Wise, and Hairless gene expression in keratinocytes
Vitamin D receptor helps control hair growth genes in skin cells.
research Lineage potential, plasticity and environmental reprogramming of epithelial stem/progenitor cells
Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Clinical and Histopathological Findings in Patients with Follicular Dermatoses: All Skin Diseases Starts in the Hair Follicles as New Hypothesis
All skin diseases might start in hair follicles.
research KERATINS AND SKIN DISORDERS
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Development and Validation of A C57BL/6 Mouse Model of Androgenetic Alopecia Through Testosterone Propionate Induction
A mouse model was created to study hair loss similar to humans.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
research Control of hair follicle cell fate by underlying mesenchyme through a CSL–Wnt5a–FoxN1 regulatory axis
Notch/CSL signaling controls hair follicle differentiation through Wnt5a and FoxN1.
research SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research Two Dogs with Juvenile-Onset Skin Diseases with Involvement of Extremities
The analyses helped identify different skin diseases in the two dogs.
research Tissue engineering strategies for human hair follicle regeneration: How far from a hairy goal?
Fully regenerating human hair follicles not yet achieved.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Abstracts
New treatments and diagnostic methods for various animal skin conditions showed promising results.
research The Pathobiology of Skin Aging
Skin aging is a complex process influenced by various factors, leading to wrinkles and sagging, and should be considered a disease due to its health impacts.
research Desmosomes in Developing Human Epidermis
Desmosomes are crucial for human skin development, increasing in density as the skin matures.
research Transgenic Kallikrein 14 Mice Display Major Hair Shaft Defects Associated with Desmoglein 3 and 4 Degradation, Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation, and IL-36 Signature
Mice with extra human KLK14 had hair and skin problems, including weaker cell bonds and inflammation, linked to Netherton syndrome.
research Human Hair Follicles Operate a Functional Peripheral Equivalent of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Somatotropic Axis Ex Vivo
Human scalp hair follicles can produce hormones and have a system similar to a brain-body communication network.
research The Immunological Impact of IL-1 Family Cytokines on the Epidermal Barrier
IL-1 family cytokines are crucial for skin defense and healing, but their imbalance can cause skin diseases.
research Beyond Wavy Hairs
EGFR signaling is crucial for skin and hair health, and targeting it could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Differentiation of the basal cell epithelioma-like changes overlying dermatofibroma.
Basal cell epithelioma-like changes are most similar to normal basal cells.
research The Molecular Revolution in Cutaneous Biology: Noncoding RNAs: New Molecular Players in Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology
Non-coding RNAs are crucial for skin development and health.
research Ox40-Cre–mediated deletion of BRD4 reveals an unexpected phenotype of hair follicle stem cells in alopecia
Deleting the BRD4 protein in certain skin cells causes hair loss and skin inflammation.
research Antigen presenting cells in the skin of a patient with hair loss and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Antigen presenting cells around hair follicles are crucial in SLE-related hair loss.
