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 Hoxc-Dependent Mesenchymal Niche Heterogeneity Drives Regional Hair Follicle Regeneration
Hoxc genes control hair growth through Wnt signaling.
research How to distinguish medicalization from over-medicalization?
The article suggests using four questions to tell apart necessary medicalization from excessive medicalization, focusing on problem significance, social expectations, medical understanding, and effective resolution.
research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
research Age-Related Changes in Male Skin: Quantitative Evaluation of One Hundred and Fifty Male Subjects
Male skin gets drier and more alkaline as it ages, which may need different skincare than women's skin.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Cyclophosphamide and rituximab in frequently relapsing/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome
Rituximab leads to longer remission and fewer side effects than cyclophosphamide.
research Polarity signaling ensures epidermal homeostasis by coupling cellular mechanics and genomic integrity
Par3 protein is essential for skin cell balance and stability.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Effect of dutasteride 0.5 mg/d in men with androgenetic alopecia recalcitrant to finasteride
Dutasteride helps hair growth in those unresponsive to finasteride, but may cause more sexual dysfunction.
research Label Retaining Cells (LRCs) with Myoepithelial Characteristic from the Proximal Acinar Region Define Stem Cells in the Sweat Gland
Sweat gland stem cells help maintain glands, aid wound healing, and can regenerate skin structures.
research Zinc in skin pathology and care
Zinc can help with some skin problems, but its effectiveness varies depending on the condition.
research Hair growth effects of oral administration of finasteride, a steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, alone and in combination with topical minoxidil in the balding stumptail macaque.
Finasteride and minoxidil together promote hair growth better than either alone.
research Sex hormones modulate pathogenic processes in experimental traumatic brain injury
Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.
research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research The management of EGFR inhibitor adverse events: a case series and treatment paradigm
Skin side effects from EGFR inhibitor cancer treatment can be managed effectively, often without stopping the medication.
research Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a family
KFSD is a genetic disorder causing hair loss and skin issues, with no effective treatment.
research Anthralin/dithranol in dermatology
Anthralin is effective for psoriasis and alopecia with minimal systemic side effects but can irritate the skin.
research The Effect of 5 -Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Gata6 promotes hair follicle progenitor cell renewal by genome maintenance during proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research Scalp Itch: A Systematic Review
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and treatment of scalp itch require differentiating between various conditions using a proposed five-step evaluation process.
research State-dependent signaling by Cav1.2 regulates hair follicle stem cell function
Cav1.2 affects hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatments.
research Innovative Uses for Zinc in Dermatology
Zinc can be a helpful secondary treatment for certain skin conditions, but more research is needed to guide its use.
research Activation of β-Catenin Signaling in CD133-Positive Dermal Papilla Cells Drives Postnatal Hair Growth
Activating β-catenin in certain skin cells speeds up hair growth in mice.
research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research Hair removal using a long-pulsed alexandrite laser.
The long-pulsed alexandrite laser is effective for hair reduction, particularly for light-skinned individuals with dark hair, but caution is needed for darker skin.
research Apoptotic cells represent a dynamic stem cell niche governing proliferation and tissue regeneration
Dying cells can help with faster healing and new hair growth by releasing a growth-promoting molecule.
