Research
150-180 / 1000+ results research Approaches for estimating the clinical starting dose of new dosage forms: An example of a long-acting injectable formulation of finasteride
The best starting dose for a new finasteride injection is 16.80 mg.
research Arabidopsis VILLIN4 is involved in root hair growth through regulating actin organization in a Ca2+‐dependent manner
VILLIN4 helps root hair growth by organizing actin with calcium.
research Ageing skin, part 1: normal ageing
As skin ages, it gets thinner, paler, and more wrinkled, and protection and care like sunblock and moisturizers are important.
research Effects of Visible Light on the Skin†
Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.
research Therapeutic anti-inflammatory potential of formyl-peptide receptor agonists
Formyl-peptide receptor agonists could be new anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Actinic keratosis: a clinical and epidemiological revision
Actinic keratosis can lead to skin cancer, is more common in fair-skinned people, and can be reduced with sunscreen and treated effectively.
research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
SOX11 and SOX4 help skin cells act like embryonic cells to heal wounds in mice.
research Non-Edg family LPA receptors: the cutting edge of LPA research
New LPA receptors (LPA4, LPA5, LPA6) have diverse roles in the body.
research What do we know about phytotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Some plant-based treatments can help with benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Generation and Characterization of Multipotent Stem Cells from Established Dermal Cultures
Human skin cells can be turned into versatile stem cells, but their ability to do so decreases with repeated use.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Direct-Acting Vasodilators
Hydralazine and minoxidil are blood pressure medications that relax blood vessels, with potential side effects like rapid heartbeat and fluid retention, and are used for severe or pregnancy-related hypertension.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Minoxidil specifically decreases the expression of lysine hydroxylase in cultured human skin fibroblasts
Minoxidil reduces lysine hydroxylase in skin cells.
research Contraception and the dermatologist
Birth control pills can help manage acne, but dermatologists should know their skin-related side effects, especially when prescribing drugs that can harm unborn babies.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research GPR39 marks specific cells within the sebaceous gland and contributes to skin wound healing
GPR39 is linked to certain cells in the sebaceous gland and helps with skin healing.
research Topical use of systemic drugs in dermatology: A comprehensive review
Using systemic drugs as creams for skin conditions shows promise, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Pegylated-interferon-α2ain clinical practice: how to manage patients suffering from side effects

research Subcutaneous emphysema resulting from liquid nitrogen spray
Liquid nitrogen spray caused a temporary, harmless swelling under the skin in an elderly woman.
research Identification of androgen-regulated genes in SV40-transformed human hair dermal papilla cells
Hsc70 protein may influence hair growth by responding to androgens.
research Dual-Action Icariin-Containing Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Wound Macrophage Polarization and Hair-Follicle Neogenesis
The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
