research Perspectives and Challenges of Hair Analysis
Hair is a complex organ, and understanding its detailed structure and growth phases is crucial for analyzing substances within it.
research Differential activity of 2-methylene-19-nor vitamin D analogs on growth factor gene expression in rhino mouse skin and comparison to all-trans retinoic acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research HAIR | Overview
The document explains how hair is studied in forensics to identify its source and its role in criminal investigations.
research SUMMARIES OF PAPERS
The document concludes that secondary syphilis cases are increasing and often misdiagnosed, pityriasis rubra pilaris can be distinguished from psoriasis by skin cell features, and different skin layers produce specific components during skin repair.
research 3D bioprinting of prefabricated artificial skin with multicomponent hydrogel for skin and hair follicle regeneration
3D bioprinting with special hydrogels can create artificial skin that heals wounds and regrows hair in mice.
research Fondation René Touraine
The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
research An Investigation of Keratin 15 Function by Small Interfering Ribonucleic Acid Technology
Keratin 15 affects cell behavior and characteristics in skin cells.
research Molecular Regulation and Cellular Heterogeneity in Skin Repair and Hair Follicle Regeneration
Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
research A Comprehensive Pathophysiology of Dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis – Towards a More Precise Definition of Scalp Health
The document concludes that dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis are linked to inflammation and skin changes, and treating them with specific shampoos can reduce these issues.
research The early changes in mouse skin following topical application of a range of middle distillate oil products
Different oil products cause varying levels of skin irritation in mice, which could potentially lead to tumors.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Heat Enhanced Follicular Delivery of Isotretinoin to the Skin
Applying heat with certain chemicals can greatly improve how well isotretinoin gets into the skin through hair follicles.
research Aging Skin: A Window to the Body
Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.
research Perspectives on Dermatopathology
Dermatopathology has made significant progress but many skin diseases remain incurable, requiring ongoing research.
research A Multi-Donor Ex Vivo Platelet Activation and Growth Factor Release Study Using Electric Pulses With Durations Up to 100 Microseconds
Electric pulses can effectively activate platelets and release growth factors, offering a better alternative to traditional methods.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Electrospun Nanofibers for Improved Angiogenesis: Promises for Tissue Engineering Applications
Electrospun nanofibers show promise for enhancing blood vessel growth in tissue engineering but need further research to improve their effectiveness.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Cutaneous effects of the most commonly used antidepressant medication, the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
Antidepressants called SSRIs can cause skin problems, bleeding risk, and other side effects.
research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Genetically-manipulated adult stem cells as therapeutic agents and gene delivery vehicle for wound repair and regeneration
Genetically-altered adult stem cells can help in wound healing and are becoming crucial in regenerative medicine and drug design.
research Two Hypomorphic Alleles of Mouse Ass1 as a New Animal Model of Citrullinemia Type I and Other Hyperammonemic Syndromes
Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Embryonic-like regenerative phenomenon: wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis
New hair can grow from large wounds in mice, but less so as they age, involving reprogramming of skin cells and specific molecular pathways.
