research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Distinct Phenotypic and Genomic Signatures Underlie Contrasting Pathogenic Potential of Staphylococcus epidermidis Clonal Lineages
Staphylococcus epidermidis A/C strains are more antibiotic-resistant and infection-adapted, while B strains thrive in hair follicles.
research A Composite Model for the Transport of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Compounds Across the Skin: Steady-State Behavior
The model better predicts how water-loving and fat-loving substances move through the skin by including tiny pores and hair follicle paths.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research General theory of skin reinforcement
Skin and its underlying fat layer act together to resist mechanical stress, and reinforcing this composite structure may help more with anti-aging than just strengthening the skin alone.
research Topical and nutricosmetic products for healthy hair and dermal antiaging using “dual‐acting” (2 for 1) plant‐based peptides, hormones, and cannabinoids
Plant-based products can improve hair and skin health without harmful side effects.
research CD49fhigh Defines a Distinct Skin Mesenchymal Stem Cell Population Capable of Hair Follicle Epithelial Cell Maintenance
A specific group of skin stem cells was found to help maintain hair follicle cells.
research Docosahexaenoic acid slows inflammation resolution and impairs the quality of healed skin tissue
High DHA levels delay wound healing and worsen skin repair quality.
research Wwox Deficiency Causes Downregulation of Prosurvival ERK Signaling and Abnormal Homeostatic Responses in Mouse Skin
WWOX deficiency in mice causes skin and fat tissue problems due to disrupted cell survival signals.
research SCD1 Sustains Homeostasis of Bulge Niche via Maintaining Hemidesmosomes in Basal Keratinocytes
SCD1 is important for hair growth by keeping the connection in skin cells where hair stem cells live stable.
research Anthropometric Characteristics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Their Associations with Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profile
Women with PCOS have higher body fat and worse insulin resistance and lipid profiles.
research Body Composition and Characterization of Skinfold Thicknesses from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes. A Preliminar Case-Control Study
Women with PCOS have higher body fat and skinfold thickness, especially in the H-O-POM phenotype.
research Clinical benefits and adverse effects of genetically-elevated free testosterone levels: a Mendelian randomization analysis
Higher free testosterone levels can increase bone density and decrease body fat but may raise the risk of prostate cancer, hair loss, and benign prostate enlargement.
research Matricellular Proteins in the Homeostasis, Regeneration, and Aging of Skin
Special proteins are important for skin balance, healing, and aging, and affect skin stem cells.
research Aging of hair follicle stem cells and their niches
Aging changes hair stem cells and their environment, leading to gray hair and hair thinning, but understanding these changes could help develop treatments for hair regeneration.
research Clinical Evaluation of the MIRA Technique in Cellulite Treatment: A Retrospective Case–Control Study
The MIRA technique improves cellulite treatment results and patient satisfaction.
research Adipose transcriptome in the scalp of androgenetic alopecia
The scalp fat tissue of men with hair loss shows changes in gene activity that may contribute to their condition.
research The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Physical Performance
Gender-affirming hormone therapy improves physical performance in trans men to the level of cisgender men, while in trans women, it increases fat mass and decreases muscle mass, with no advantage in physical performance after 2 years.
research Delayed hair cycle in mnd2 mutant mice lacking HtrA2 serine protease activity
HtrA2 activity is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating fat cell development.
research Stem Cells in the Skin
The skin has different types of stem cells that can repair and regenerate tissue.
research Deletion of adipocyte Sine Oculis Homeobox Homolog 1 prevents lipolysis and attenuates skin fibrosis
Removing SIX1 in fat cells reduces skin fibrosis.
research Dermal adipose tissue has high plasticity and undergoes reversible dedifferentiation in mice
Dermal adipose tissue in mice can change and revert to help with skin health.
research Adipose mesenchymal stem cells combined with platelet-rich plasma accelerate diabetic wound healing by modulating the Notch pathway
Using fat stem cells and blood cell-rich plasma together improves healing in diabetic wounds by affecting cell signaling.
research Fillers impacting follicles: the emerging complication of filler‐induced alopecia
Filler injections can cause temporary hair loss, but hyaluronidase can help restore hair within a few months.
research Recipient site scalp necrosis: A rare postoperative complication of hair transplantation
Timely treatment and prevention are crucial to avoid serious complications in hair transplants.
research Surgical Management of Scarring Alopecia
Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.
research Head and Neck Restoration in Scar Alopecia: Hair Transplantation in Scalp, Eyebrows, Beard and Mustache.
Hair transplantation is effective for treating scar-related hair loss on the head and neck.
research Clinical Application of Platelet-Rich Fibrin in Dermatology
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) can speed up healing in chronic wounds, improve hair density, and act as a natural filler for skin rejuvenation, but its use in hair loss treatment needs more evaluation.
research Tissue Resident Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells: Sentinels and Saboteurs in Health and Disease
Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells are important for immunity and tolerance, affect hair growth and wound healing, and their dysfunction can contribute to obesity-related diseases and other health issues.
