research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
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 Therapeutic strategies for treating hair loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Studying SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and therapeutic responses with complex organoids
Organoids can help study COVID-19 and develop treatments, but face challenges like instability and limited renewal.
research Fate of Prominin-1 Expressing Dermal Papilla Cells during Homeostasis, Wound Healing and Wnt Activation
Prominin-1 expressing cells in the dermal papilla help regulate hair follicle size and communication but don't aid in skin repair.
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?

research Genetic Fate Mapping Using Site-Specific Recombinases
The document concludes that careful design of genetic fate mapping experiments is crucial for accurate cell lineage tracing in mice.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research Conditional knock out of N-WASP in keratinocytes causes skin barrier defects and atopic dermatitis-like inflammation
N-WASP is essential for healthy skin and preventing inflammation.
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 The role of R-spondins and their receptors in bone metabolism
R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
