research Botanical extracts
Botanical extracts are increasingly important in cosmetics and drugs for their effectiveness and safety, backed by traditional use and scientific evidence.
research Clinicopathological Features of Alopecia With an Emphasis on Etiology and Histopathological Characteristics of Scarring Alopecia
Scarring alopecia, a type of hair loss, is most common in females under 35, often caused by discoid lupus erythematosus and pseudopelade of Brocq. Skin punch biopsy and histopathology are key to identifying its cause.
research Distinct Regulatory Programs Control the Latent Regenerative Potential of Dermal Fibroblasts during Wound Healing
Dermal fibroblasts have adjustable roles in wound healing, with specific cells promoting regeneration or scar formation.
research Cloning of human, murine, and marsupial keratin 7 and a survey of K7 expression in the mouse
The research cloned keratin 7 genes from humans, mice, and marsupials, found similarities between human and mouse genes, and discovered new areas of K7 expression in mice.
research Polyclonal origin and hair induction ability of dermal papillae in neonatal and adult mouse back skin
Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
research The Role of Cognitions and Beliefs in Trichotillomania: A Qualitative Study Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Cognitions significantly influence Trichotillomania, suggesting cognitive therapies could help.
research Potential Involvement of miR-144 in the Regulation of Hair Follicle Development and Cycle Through Interaction with Lhx2
