research An Update on Medical Treatment Options for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
New treatments for a chronic skin condition show promise, but individualized plans are crucial due to varying responses.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Office Diagnosis of Hair Shaft Defects
The document explains how to identify different hair problems using a microscope.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
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 Deficient Plakophilin-1 Expression Due to a Mutation in PKP1 Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome in Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dogs
A PKP1 gene mutation causes skin fragility and hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies.
research Mitotic activity in the epidermis of the rabbit stimulated with local applications of testosterone propionate
Testosterone applied to rabbit skin increases skin cell growth and changes skin structure.

research Is acne a sign of androgen excess disorder or not?
Acne is an important sign of androgen excess disorders in women.
research Secondary cicatricial and other permanent alopecias
The document says that treating the root cause of hair follicle damage is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss, and treatment options vary.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research The concealed side of caspases: beyond a killer of cells
Caspases do more than kill cells; they also help in cell growth and disease, and targeting them could lead to new treatments.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Exploring caspase functions in mouse models
Caspases affect many cell functions and could help treat various diseases.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Hair follicle morphogenesis and epidermal homeostasis in we/we wal/wal mice with postnatal alopecia
The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
research Dermal EZH2 orchestrates dermal differentiation and epidermal proliferation during murine skin development
Dermal EZH2 controls skin cell development and hair growth in mice.
