research Different Requirements for GFRα2-Signaling in Three Populations of Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
GFRα2 is essential for controlling neuron size but not for target innervation in certain sensory neurons.
research Diversity of vibrissal follicle anatomy in cetaceans
Different whale and dolphin species have unique whisker follicle structures, suggesting they might use their whiskers in various ways.
research Primary cilia regulate Meibomian glands development and dimensions without impairing lipid composition of the meibum
Primary cilia affect the size and oil production of eye glands but not the oil's makeup.
research An algorithmic approach to scalp reconstructive surgery: maximization of cosmetic and functional outcomes
The approach improves scalp surgery results by tailoring techniques to defect size and location.
research Differential activity of 2-methylene-19-nor vitamin D analogs on growth factor gene expression in rhino mouse skin and comparison to all-trans retinoic acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research Regenerative Surgery in the Management of the Leg Ulcers
Using a patient's own tissue for micro-grafts may effectively treat non-healing leg ulcers and relieve pain.
research Measurements of tension on wound edges after strip harvest surgery
Wound tension after hair transplant surgery increases with strip size and is higher on the sides, affecting scarring.
research Induction of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Expression in Stored Micrografts by Aminoguanidine
Aminoguanidine increases a specific growth signal in stored hair grafts, which may help them survive better after being transplanted.
research Steatocystomas: Update on Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Management
Steatocystomas are harmless skin cysts that can vary in size and may sometimes cause itching or pain.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Hair Restoration Surgery: Follicular Unit Grafting
Follicular unit grafting is a procedure used to treat hair loss, where small hair grafts are placed into the scalp, with future treatments likely to involve smaller incisions and cell-based therapies.
research Health and fertility in World Health Organization group 2 anovulatory women
Women with PCOS may take longer to get pregnant but can have a normal family size, and should manage their overall health to reduce long-term health risks.
research Hair transplantation: A review and technique presentation
Hair transplantation techniques have improved over time, leading to natural-looking results and high graft survival rates, making it a popular treatment for hair loss.
research The Art of Repair in Surgical Hair Restoration—Part II
The document concludes that careful planning, efficient use of every hair graft, and setting surgical priorities are crucial for successful hair restoration surgery.
research An Algorithmic Approach for Reconstruction of Burn Alopecia
The study concluded that reconstructive surgery for burn alopecia should be tailored to the scar's size and quality, with different methods recommended for different cases.
research Dermal papilla regulation of hair growth and pigmentation
Dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and color, influencing hair type and size, and their interaction with stem cells could help treat hair loss and color disorders.
research Highlights
Acne is not a key diagnostic feature for PCOS, postadolescent men with acne may have insulin resistance, melanoma patients often have few moles, tumor size in CSCC indicates higher risk of serious outcomes, and hidradenitis suppurativa is linked to higher risk of heart problems and death.
research Stem cells in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine
Stem cells can improve wound healing, reduce scars, promote hair growth, rejuvenate skin, and enhance fat grafts in plastic surgery, but there are still some concerns.
research Quality controls assessment in satellite segments of cord blood units: monocentric experience
The study found that the quality of cord blood units remains consistent before freezing and after thawing, indicating that attached tube segments reliably represent the graft's properties.
research Phenotype and metabolic profile of South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): results of a large database from a specialist Endocrine Clinic
South Asian women with PCOS are more likely to have metabolic issues and central obesity, and simple measures like waist size and blood pressure can help identify these risks early.
research Association Between Scalp Laxity, Elasticity, and Glidability and Donor Strip Scar Width in Hair Transplantation and a New Elasticity Measuring Method
Higher scalp elasticity leads to wider scars after hair transplantation; a new method to measure elasticity may help predict scar size.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research BIOBOARD
In 2011, there were major scientific breakthroughs in cancer treatment, immunity, Parkinson's, virus simulation, schizophrenia, hair growth, lung cancer, and medical grafts.
research Minoxidil restores thymic growth in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome by limiting Sox9+ chondrocyte expansion
Minoxidil helps restore thymus size in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
research Two‐dimensional planimetry for alopecia areata severity evaluation compared with severity of alopecia tool: A pilot study
Measuring bald patch size can help grade hair loss severity, with photograph-based evaluation being more reliable.
