research The comparison of the mesenchymal progenitor cell coating state on the MBA and DBM as the biochemical scaffolds
The demineralized bone matrix scaffold is better for cell attachment than the mineralized bone allograft.
research The effects of sodium metasilicate on the spinal motoneuron recovery following sciatic nerve injury
Sodium metasilicate improved spinal motoneuron recovery after sciatic nerve injury in rats.
research Distribution pattern of some glycoconjugates of hair follicle regeneration in rat
Certain sugars increase in some layers of the hair follicle during the middle of the healing process in rats, which may help improve healing.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Dermatoscopic features of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Researchers found a white halo around hair in most patients with a specific type of hair loss, which helps in early diagnosis and treatment.
research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
research An In Vivo Mouse Excisional Wound Model of Scarless Healing
Mice healed without scars as fetuses but developed scars as adults, suggesting scarless healing might be replicated with further research.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research MINOXIDIL: HOPE FOR THE BALD?
Minoxidil helps some bald men, but most lose hair again when stopping.
research Disease modifying agent related skin reactions in multiple sclerosis: prevention, assessment, and management
The article concludes that proper injection techniques and patient education can prevent serious skin reactions from multiple sclerosis medications.
research Eyebrow Loss
Eyebrow loss has many causes and requires accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.
research The Pathological Changes and Polymorphonuclear and Mast Cell Responses in the Skin of Specific Pathogen‐free Lambs Following Primary and Secondary Challenge with Orf Virus
Lambs' skin showed similar but more severe responses to a second orf virus infection, involving immune cells and new skin formation.
research The genetics of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata has a complex genetic basis that was not fully understood as of 2001.
research Punctate Follicular Porokeratosis
Punctate follicular porokeratosis is a skin condition with specific features seen in hair follicles.
research An overview of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss involves thinning hair on crown and frontal scalp, diagnosed by hair ratio, and treated with minoxidil, antiandrogens, or hair transplantation.
research LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND THE SKIN
Lupus affects the skin in various ways, and proper skin examination is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
research The Case of the Elusive Androgen
The patient's high testosterone was reduced by a medication that suppresses gonadotropin.
research 643 Male pattern baldness and risk of incident skin cancer in a cohort of men
Male pattern baldness is linked to a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research 644 Tumor cell adhesion as a risk factor for SLN metastasis and predictor of disease recurrence in primary cutaneous melanoma
Tumor cell adhesion is linked to higher risk of SLN metastasis and melanoma recurrence, and a model including these factors predicts these outcomes better than one with just clinical data.
research Research Snippets
New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
research CME examination for volume 43
The exam tested knowledge on various skin-related topics for CME credit.
research Control of hair growth and follicle size by VEGF-mediated angiogenesis
VEGF helps hair grow and determines follicle size by increasing blood vessel growth.
research Tracing the cellular origin of cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Safety and efficacy of the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib citrate in patients with alopecia areata
Tofacitinib is safe and effective for severe alopecia areata, but hair loss may return 2 months after stopping treatment.
research Follicular transport route – Research progress and future perspectives
Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
