research Eating Disorders: Progress and Challenges
Despite progress, better treatments and understanding are needed for the high rates of long-term issues and deaths linked to eating disorders.
research Noggin overexpression inhibits eyelid opening by altering epidermal apoptosis and differentiation
Noggin overexpression delays eyelid opening by affecting cell death and skin cell development.
research Ovarian Hypertension: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is linked to higher risk of hypertension and heart disease.
research A splice variant in KRT71 is associated with curly coat phenotype of Selkirk Rex cats
A gene variant in KRT71 causes the curly fur in Selkirk Rex cats.
research Retinoid Metabolism Is Altered in Human and Mouse Cicatricial Alopecia
Altered retinoid metabolism in cicatricial alopecia suggests a balanced vitamin A diet may prevent the condition.
research Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss
No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Androgen Receptor (AR) Gene (CAG)n and (GGN)n Length Polymorphisms and Symptoms in Young Males With Long-Lasting Adverse Effects After Finasteride Use Against Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride side effects in young men may be linked to specific gene variations.
research Biotin and Acetazolamide for Treatment of an Unusual Child With Autism Plus Lack of Nail and Hair Growth
Biotin and acetazolamide improved hair and nail growth, mental function, and reduced headaches in a child with autism.
research Selected variants of the melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) do not confer susceptibility to female pattern hair loss
MC4R gene variants not linked to female hair loss.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Understanding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS affects women's hormones and metabolism, but can be managed with lifestyle changes and treatments.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.
research W locus alleles of the KIT Gene in Turkish Van Cats and Their Association with Certain Phenotypes
Turkish Van cats' genotypes don't affect traits like eye color or hair length.
research Cryogelation of human hair keratins
Human hair keratins can be turned into useful 3D biomedical scaffolds through a freeze-thaw process.
research Dermatomyositis Disease in Dogs
Dogs with dermatomyositis, especially Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs, need better treatments for their skin and muscle inflammation.
research All sites but skin cancer incidences analyzed worldwide by sex, age, and skin type over time (1955-2007), advancing age, and UVB dose reveals important carcinogenic drivers
Cancer rates are increasing in developed countries, with estrogen, aging, low vitamin D3, and HPV infection as common causes.
research Highlights from the 68th Annual Meeting of the Society of Investigative Dermatology
The meeting discussed vitamin D3's role in fighting tuberculosis, potential treatments for skin conditions like psoriasis, and hair follicle regeneration as a possible solution for hair loss.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research Studying SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and therapeutic responses with complex organoids
Organoids can help study COVID-19 and develop treatments, but face challenges like instability and limited renewal.
research The Role of Adipocytes in Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Niches
Fat cells are important for tissue repair and stem cell support in various body parts.
research Defining the Localization and Molecular Characteristic of Minor Salivary Gland Label-Retaining Cells
The study found stem cells in minor salivary glands that can differentiate and are involved in tumor formation when exposed to tobacco.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Regeneration of fat cells from myofibroblasts during wound healing
Some wound-healing cells can turn into fat cells around new hair growth in mice.
research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research β-catenin Activity in the Dermal Papilla Regulates Morphogenesis and Regeneration of Hair
β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.
research Fibroblast heterogeneity: implications for human disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research Severe cutaneous adverse reactions to drugs
Some drugs can cause rare but potentially deadly skin reactions, and early treatment and avoiding the drug again are key.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
