research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Defining Hair Follicles in the Age of Stem Cell Bioengineering
The study found that bioengineered hair follicles work when using cells from the same species but have issues when combining human and mouse cells.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Fatty acids and related lipid mediators in the regulation of cutaneous inflammation
Certain fats in the skin help control inflammation and health, and changing these fats through diet or supplements might treat skin inflammation.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III, Trichohyalin and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Infant Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin and peptidylarginine deiminase type III are found together in rat hair follicles, with trichohyalin being modified after expression.
research Surgical approach of ectropion in lamellar ichthyosis
Surgery on a baby with a skin disorder improved eyelid position and eye health.
research Ichtyosiform nevus in a 22-year-old woman
A woman with CHILD syndrome showed skin abnormalities, and the report suggests CHILD nevus and NEVIL might be the same condition, highlighting the need for diagnosis for genetic advice.
research Ischemic onycholysis of the hands
A woman's nail separation was likely caused by poor blood flow, and a treatment for similar conditions might help.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Effects of 1?,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 and calcipotriol on organotypic cultures of outer root sheath cells: a potential model to evaluate antipsoriatic drugs
Vitamin D compounds may help treat psoriasis by promoting skin cell differentiation.
research Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research Cutaneous and Mucosal Manifestations Associated with Celiac Disease
Celiac disease can cause skin problems that may get better with a gluten-free diet.
research Thyroid diseases and skin autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
research Hair follicle differentiation and regulation.
Hair follicle growth and development are controlled by specific genes and molecular signals.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research The Immune Functions of Keratinocytes in Skin Wound Healing
Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Development and progression of alopecia in the vitamin D receptor null mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Thyroid Hormone and Wound Healing
Thyroid hormone may speed up wound healing and hair growth, but more research is needed to understand its role in skin repair and use as a treatment.
research Development, formulation, and characterization of an adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticle dispersion for follicular penetration
Researchers created a skin treatment that could effectively deliver medication into hair follicles.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Molecular Genetics of Keratinization Disorders – What’s New About Ichthyosis
Over 67 genes linked to ichthyosis help improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Can dermal delivery of therapeutics be improved using thermoresponsive nanogels?
Thermoresponsive nanogels show promise for delivering medicine through the skin but need more safety testing and regulatory approval before clinical use.
research Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B deficiency due to a novel missense mutation in the coiled-coil domain
A boy's growth and immune problems were caused by a new mutation in the STAT5B gene.
research A Spontaneous Fatp4/Scl27a4 Splice Site Mutation in a New Murine Model for Congenital Ichthyosis
A gene mutation in mice causes severe skin disorder similar to a human condition.
research Novel adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette, subfamily A, member 12 (ABCA12) mutations associated with congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma
New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.
