Human sweat glands have a type of stem cell that can grow well and turn into different cell types.
research Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor α Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes
As skin cells mature, vitamin D receptor levels decrease while retinoid X receptor α levels increase.
research Pilomatrix Carcinoma: Report of Two Cases of the Head and Review of the Literature
Early detection and complete surgical removal are crucial for better outcomes in treating pilomatrix carcinoma.
research More is not always better in hair growth factors. epidermal growth factor: hair growth factor involved in alopecia areata pathogenesis
Too much epidermal growth factor can cause hair loss.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Botryococcus terribilis Ethanol Extract Exerts Anti-inflammatory Effects on Murine RAW264 Cells
Botryococcus terribilis Ethanol Extract may reduce inflammation by changing gene expression in cells.
research Growth Factors and Microneedling in Alopecia Areata: A Narrative Review
Using growth factors and microneedling shows promise for hair regrowth in Alopecia Areata, but more research is needed.
research Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma with Spindle Cell Lipomatous and Neural Components
A woman had a unique skin growth with hair follicle, oil glands, fat cells, spindle cells, and nerve fibers.
research 265 Loss of Langerhans cells in scar lesion of lichen planopilaris is caused by downregulation of integrin αvβ6 in the epidermal keratinocytes
Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
research 264 CCR5 blockade shows prevention of alopecia areata development as well as improvement of alopecia areata
Blocking CCR5 can prevent and improve hair loss in alopecia areata.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Tissue homeostasis
Humans have limited regenerative abilities, but new evidence shows the adult brain and heart can regenerate, and future treatments may improve this by mimicking stem cell environments.
research LB1606 Retainability of pluripotency and viability of multilineage-differentiating stress enduring (Muse) cells after repeated cryopreservation.
Muse cells keep their special features and can become different cell types even after being frozen and thawed three times.
research LB1602 Skin cancer in skin of color transplant patients
Non-white organ transplant patients have worse skin cancer outcomes due to later diagnosis and treatment.
research LB1603 Centrosomes are required for the normal development of the skin epithelium
Centrosomes are essential for healthy skin and hair growth, and their role is different from that of cilia.
research LB1604 The role of polyunsaturated fatty acids on hair growth
Polyunsaturated fatty acids, like arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.
research LB1601 Dermatomyositis-related panniculitis of the neck
A woman with dermatomyositis improved after treatment for neck panniculitis, suggesting similar treatment for related conditions.
research DRUG‐ASSOCIATED ALOPECIA
Some drugs can cause hair loss, and stopping these drugs often leads to hair regrowth.
