research Do men’s faces really signal heritable immunocompetence?
Masculine facial features may not reliably indicate heritable health, and more research is needed.
research Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.
research Facial determinants of female gender and feminizing forehead cranioplasty
Forehead modification greatly increases the perception of femininity and is a safe procedure.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Probiotic Bacteria Induce a ‘Glow of Health’
Probiotic bacteria improved skin and hair health in aged mice.
research Dental cell type atlas reveals stem and differentiated cell types in mouse and human teeth
The research identified various cell types in mouse and human teeth, which could help in developing dental regenerative treatments.
research A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research 4D polycarbonates via stereolithography as scaffolds for soft tissue repair
4D polycarbonate scaffolds show promise for soft tissue repair due to their biocompatibility, shape memory, and minimal immune response.
research The Chicken Frizzle Feather Is Due to an α-Keratin (KRT75) Mutation That Causes a Defective Rachis
A mutation in the KRT75 gene causes frizzle feathers in chickens.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Self-Activated Electrical Stimulation for Effective Hair Regeneration via a Wearable Omnidirectional Pulse Generator
A wearable device using electric stimulation can significantly improve hair growth.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research The Facial Adipose Tissue: A Revision
Different types of facial fat affect aging and treatment outcomes; more research is needed to enhance anti-aging procedures.
research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance – A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
research Endocrine Influences on Hair Growth
Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Symbiotic in vitro seed propagation of Dendrobium: fungal and bacterial partners and their influence on plant growth and development
Certain fungi and bacteria help orchid seeds germinate and plants grow better.
research Genome-wide association study in Japanese females identifies fifteen novel skin-related trait associations
Researchers found 15 new genetic links to skin traits in Japanese women.
research Alopecia areata is characterized by dysregulation in systemic type 17 and type 2 cytokines, which may contribute to disease‐associated psychological morbidity
Alopecia areata involves immune system imbalances that may lead to depression and anxiety.
research Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH) Promotes Wound Re-Epithelialisation in Frog and Human Skin
Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone helps heal wounds in frog and human skin.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Curtailing PCOS
Lifestyle changes are the main treatment for PCOS, which is a complex condition requiring early management to reduce its health impacts.
research Drug repositioning: current approaches and their implications in the precision medicine era
Drug repositioning is becoming more targeted and efficient with new technologies, offering personalized treatment options and growing interest in the field.
research Recent positive selection of a human androgen receptor/ectodysplasin A2 receptor haplotype and its relationship to male pattern baldness
A specific genetic mutation may increase male pattern baldness risk, especially in Europeans.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Chronic Stress Suppresses the Expression of Cutaneous Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenocortical Axis Elements and Melanogenesis
Chronic stress can reduce skin pigmentation.
research Hair through the female life cycle
Women's hair generally gets thinner and less dense starting in their mid-thirties, with hair loss becoming more common as they age due to both genetics and environment.
