research Stress-induced c-Jun-dependent Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) Activation Dissects the Non-classical VDR Pathway from the Classical VDR Activity
Stress activates a special function of the Vitamin D receptor with the help of c-Jun, which can also prevent cell death.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Hairless is a nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
Hairless protein is crucial for healthy skin and hair, and its malfunction can cause hair loss.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research High Auxin and High Phosphate Impact on RSL2 Expression and ROS-Homeostasis Linked to Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
High levels of auxin increase root hair growth by activating RSL2 and producing ROS, while high phosphate levels hinder growth by repressing RSL2.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research Breakdown of Immune Tolerance in AIRE-Deficient Rats Induces a Severe Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy–Candidiasis–Ectodermal Dystrophy–like Autoimmune Disease
AIRE-deficient rats developed severe autoimmune disease similar to APECED, useful for testing treatments.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
research Guidelines for the Use of Acitretin in Psoriasis
Acitretin is effective for severe psoriasis and can be used long-term due to no immunosuppression, but must be carefully monitored for side effects and is not for pregnant women.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Genetic variants in pachyonychia congenita-associated keratins increase susceptibility to tooth decay
Certain genetic variants in keratins increase the risk of tooth decay.
research A curated catalog of canine and equine keratin genes
61 functional keratin genes were identified in dogs and horses, leading to updated gene annotations.
research The proteomic profile of hair damage
Bleaching hair damages protein structure, especially keratin, leading to weakened hair.
research Differential proteomics of lesional vs. non-lesional biopsies revealed non-immune mechanisms of alopecia areata
Non-immune factors play a significant role in alopecia areata.
research New Pharmaceutical Concepts for Sebaceous Gland Diseases: Implementing Today’s Pre-Clinical Data into Tomorrow’s Daily Clinical Practice
New treatments for skin conditions related to the sebaceous gland are being developed based on current research.
research Exploring the neural mechanisms of finasteride: a proteomic analysis in the nucleus accumbens
Finasteride affects brain processes related to neurotransmission and metabolism, potentially helping with neuropsychiatric conditions.
research Molecular modeling of hair keratin/peptide complex: Using MM‐PBSA calculations to describe experimental binding results
Electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize the binding of peptides to hair keratin.

research Evaluating the antioxidant effects of human hair protein extracts
Human hair protein extracts can protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
research Retinoids for Chemoprophylaxis of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer
Retinoids can prevent skin cancer in high-risk people but have side effects and require more research on dosing and effectiveness.
research Low Intensity Ultrasound as an Antidote to Taxane/Paclitaxel-induced Cytotoxicity
Low intensity ultrasound may reduce side effects of chemotherapy drugs like paclitaxel.
research Pantothenic acid promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation in hair follicles of American minks via inhibitor of DNA Binding 3/Notch signaling pathway
Pantothenic acid helps mink hair follicles grow by affecting certain cell signals.
research Perspectives in dermatopathology: telomeres and telomerase in ageing and cancer; with emphasis on cutaneous disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research Topical L‐thyroxine: The Cinderella among hormones waiting to dance on the floor of dermatological therapy?
