Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized treatment.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research The Proximal Promoter of the Human Transglutaminase 3 Gene
The TGM3 gene's promoter region is key for skin and hair cell function and may aid gene therapy.
