research Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment should be tailored to the individual, with quitting smoking being important.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Folliculitis
Folliculitis is an inflammation of hair follicles that requires proper diagnosis and treatment based on the specific cause.
research Targeting Superficial or Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma with Topically Formulated Small Molecule Inhibitor of Smoothened
The topical inhibitor CUR61414 was not effective in treating basal cell carcinoma in human trials.
research Spermidine Promotes Human Hair Growth and Is a Novel Modulator of Human Epithelial Stem Cell Functions
Spermidine may help reduce hair loss and deserves further testing as a treatment.
research Notch Signaling Regulates Late-Stage Epidermal Differentiation and Maintains Postnatal Hair Cycle Homeostasis
Notch signaling is essential for healthy skin and hair follicle maintenance.
research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
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 Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research MicroRNA/mRNA regulatory networks in the control of skin development and regeneration
MicroRNAs are crucial for controlling skin development and healing by regulating genes.
research When whorls collide: the development of hair patterns in frizzled 6 mutant mice
Hair follicles in mutant mice self-organize into ordered patterns within a week.
research Compartmentalized Epidermal Activation of β-Catenin Differentially Affects Lineage Reprogramming and Underlies Tumor Heterogeneity
Activating β-catenin in different skin stem cells causes various types of hair growth and skin tumors.
research Prolactin: an emerging force along the cutaneous–endocrine axis
Prolactin may play a significant role in skin and hair health and could be a target for treating skin and hair disorders.
research RANK as a therapeutic target in cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research BLIMP1 Is Required for Postnatal Epidermal Homeostasis but Does Not Define a Sebaceous Gland Progenitor under Steady-State Conditions
BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
research Wnt signaling: the good and the bad
Wnt signaling is important for development and cell regulation but can cause diseases like cancer when not working properly.
research Strategic Targets in Acne: The Comedone Switch in Question
The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
research Module-based complexity formation: periodic patterning in feathers and hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research Krtap16, Characterization of a New Hair Keratin-associated Protein (KAP) Gene Complex on Mouse Chromosome 16 and Evidence for Regulation by Hoxc13
Hoxc13 regulates specific hair protein genes on mouse chromosome 16.
research Effects of maintaining solstice light and temperature on reproductive activity, coat growth, plasma prolactin and melatonin in goats
Goat reproductive activity and coat growth are affected by light and temperature, with temperature altering prolactin levels and hair growth, but not melatonin or estrus onset.
research Therapeutic Potential of Stem Cells in Follicle Regeneration
Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.
research Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecias
Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.
research Mechanisms and cell lineages in lymphatic vascular development
Lymphatic vessels develop from various cell types and mechanisms, not just veins.
research Eph/ephrin signaling in epidermal differentiation and disease
Eph/ephrin signaling is important for skin cell behavior and could be targeted to treat skin diseases.
research Coactivator MED1 Ablation in Keratinocytes Results in Hair-Cycling Defects and Epidermal Alterations
Deleting MED1 in skin cells causes hair loss and skin changes.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
