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 Chronic inflammatory diseases are stimulated by current lifestyle: how diet, stress levels and medication prevent our body from recovering
Modern lifestyles, including poor diet, stress, and long-term use of certain medications, hinder the body's ability to heal from inflammation, leading to chronic diseases.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Convergent Genesis of an Adult Neural Crest-Like Dermal Stem Cell from Distinct Developmental Origins
Skin-derived precursors in hair follicles come from different origins but function similarly.
research Anti-cancer properties of olive oil secoiridoid phenols: a systematic review of in vivo studies
Olive oil compounds may help prevent cancer in animals, but human results are mixed.
research First use of thymus transplantation therapy for FOXN1 deficiency (nude/SCID): a report of 2 cases
Thymus transplantation successfully restored immune function in infants with FOXN1 deficiency.
research Circadian clock-mediated control of stem cell division and differentiation: beyond night and day
The circadian clock is crucial for tissue renewal and regeneration, affecting stem cell functions and having implications for health and disease.
research Foxp3 Post-translational Modifications and Treg Suppressive Activity
Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Mast cell deficient and neurokinin-1 receptor knockout mice are protected from stress-induced hair growth inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Regenerative Hair Waves in Aging Mice and Extra-Follicular Modulators Follistatin, Dkk1, and Sfrp4
Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
research Zinc deficiency and its management in the pediatric population: A literature review and proposed etiologic classification
Zinc deficiency in children can cause skin issues and can be serious if not diagnosed and treated properly.
research Repurposing of approved cardiovascular drugs
Some heart drugs show promise for other conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research The emerging role of Janus kinase inhibitors in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
Janus kinase inhibitors are promising drugs for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
research Local heroes or villains: tissue-resident memory T cells in human health and disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
research T helper 17 cell/regulatory T-cell imbalance in hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa: the link to hair follicle dissection, obesity, smoking and autoimmune comorbidities
An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.
research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research Functional enhancement strategies for immunomodulation of mesenchymal stem cells and their therapeutic application
New methods to improve the healing abilities of mesenchymal stem cells for disease treatment are promising but need more research.
research Adverse Reactions to Oral Retinoids An Update
Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.
research Acquired Zinc Deficiency Dermatosis in Man
Zinc supplements can resolve skin issues caused by zinc deficiency.
research Overactivated sonic hedgehog signaling aggravates intrauterine adhesion via inhibiting autophagy in endometrial stromal cells
Overactive sonic hedgehog signaling worsens uterine scarring by reducing cell recycling.
research Concise Review: The Plasticity of Stem Cell Niches: A General Property Behind Tissue Homeostasis and Repair
