research Microneedles as the technique of drug delivery enhancement in diverse organs and tissues
Microneedles improve drug delivery in various body parts, are safe and painless, and show promise in cosmetology, vaccination, insulin delivery, and other medical applications.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Exosomes for repair, regeneration and rejuvenation
Exosomes could potentially enhance tissue repair and regeneration with lower rejection risk and easier production than live cell therapies.
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 Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research The spectrum of cutaneous manifestations in lupus erythematosus—the Italian experience
In Italian patients with lupus, the most common skin issue was chronic cutaneous lupus, especially discoid lesions, and nonspecific skin problems occurred in about a third of those with systemic lupus, mainly during active disease.
research The mesenchymal component of hair follicle neogenesis: background, methods and molecular characterization
The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.
research Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation after Nerve Injury
Macrophages help heal nerves by aiding the maturation of Schwann cells and are important for nerve repair.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Vestibular Hair Cell Regeneration and Restoration of Balance Function Induced by Math1 Gene Transfer
Gene therapy with the Math1 gene helped regenerate balance-related cells and improve balance in mice.
research dsRNA Released by Tissue Damage Activates TLR3 to Drive Skin Regeneration
Damage to skin releases dsRNA, which activates TLR3 and helps in skin and hair follicle regeneration.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research Patient factors influencing dermal filler complications: prevention, assessment, and treatment
Choosing the right patients, using proper techniques, and having thorough knowledge are key to preventing and managing dermal filler complications.
research Regulatory Roles of Cytokinins and Cytokinin Signaling in Response to Potassium Deficiency in Arabidopsis
Reduced cytokinin levels help plants adapt to low potassium by increasing root hair growth and potassium uptake.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research MicroRNA-302 Increases Reprogramming Efficiency via Repression of NR2F2
MicroRNA-302 helps improve the conversion of body cells into stem cells by blocking NR2F2.
research Penetration and storage of particles in human skin: Perspectives and safety aspects
Particles around 100 nm can penetrate and stay in hair follicles without passing through healthy skin, making them safe for use in topical products and useful for targeted drug delivery.
research Differential Auxin-Transporting Activities of PIN-FORMED Proteins in Arabidopsis Root Hair Cells
Different PIN proteins affect plant root hair growth by changing how auxin is transported.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Niacinamide: A B Vitamin that Improves Aging Facial Skin Appearance
Niacinamide improves aging skin and is safe for use in cosmetics.
research Physicochemical properties of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on hydroxyethyl cellulose–hyaluronic acid and for applications as transdermal delivery systems for skin lesions
The hydrogel with a 1:3 ratio of hydroxyethyl cellulose to hyaluronic acid is effective for delivering drugs through the skin to treat acne.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
