research Author response: Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b does not affect epidermal homeostasis but promotes squamous transformation through PPAR-γ
Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b leads to more aggressive skin tumors, but blocking PPAR-γ can reduce this effect.
research Decision letter: Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b does not affect epidermal homeostasis but promotes squamous transformation through PPAR-γ
Loss of Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b increases aggressive skin tumors by affecting PPAR-γ.
research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23
The synthetic retinoid EC23 thickens skin and promotes hair growth more effectively and with a lower dose than natural retinoids.
research A guide to studying human dermal adipocytes in situ
The guide explains how to study human skin fat cells and their tissue, aiming to improve research and medical treatments.
research Monovalent antibody-conjugated lipid-polymer nanohybrids for active targeting to desmoglein 3 of keratinocytes to attenuate psoriasiform inflammation
The targeted nanohybrids effectively reduced psoriasis symptoms and improved skin health.
research Murine Epidermal Ceramide Synthase 4 Is a Key Regulator of Skin Barrier Homeostasis
Ceramide Synthase 4 is crucial for healthy skin barrier function.
research Nanostructured lipid carriers loaded with an association of minoxidil and latanoprost for targeted topical therapy of alopecia
A new treatment for hair loss uses tiny lipid carriers to deliver a mix of minoxidil and latanoprost directly to hair follicles, promoting hair growth and being well tolerated by the skin.
research Loss of keratin 10 is accompanied by increased sebocyte proliferation and differentiation
Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research Disorders of Keratinization
Understanding genetic mutations helps diagnose and treat skin disorders like ichthyosis.
