30 / 1000+ resultsresearch Sebum Free Fatty Acids Enhance the Innate Immune Defense of Human Sebocytes by Upregulating β-Defensin-2 Expression
Free fatty acids in sebum boost skin's defense against acne by increasing antimicrobial peptides.
research Expression of dermcidin in sebocytes supports a role for sebum in the constitutive innate defense of human skin
Sebum helps protect human skin from microbes.
research The TRPM5 Antagonist Triphenylphosphine Oxide Increases Sebaceous Lipogenesis and Modulates Immune Phenotype of Human Sebocytes in a TRPM5‐Independent Manner
Triphenylphosphine oxide can increase oil production and reduce inflammation in skin cells without affecting TRPM5.
research 1317 Nicotinic acid suppresses sebaceous lipid synthesis of human sebocytes via activating hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2)
Nicotinic acid reduces excessive oil production in skin cells by activating a specific receptor, which could help treat acne.
research The Human Sebocyte Culture Model Provides New Insights into Development and Management of Seborrhoea and Acne
The human sebocyte culture model has improved understanding of oily skin and acne, and how they can be treated.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research 260 Establishment and characterization of human sebocytic progenitor cells that can differentiate into functional sebocytes
Researchers created human cells that can turn into sebocytes, which may help study and treat skin conditions like acne.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Adiponectin Signaling Regulates Lipid Production in Human Sebocytes
Adiponectin boosts lipid production in skin cells, potentially helping treat skin conditions with low sebum.
research 196 The endocannabinoid tone regulates human sebocyte biology
The endocannabinoid system affects oil production and inflammation in skin cells.
research 870 Y27632 promotes proliferation via EGFR signaling in a newly isolated and characterized human primary sebocyte cell line
Y27632 increases cell growth through EGFR signaling, not ROCK1/2.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone: An autocrine hormone that promotes lipogenesis in human sebocytes
CRH promotes fat production in skin cells, affecting conditions like acne.
research “Sebocytes’ makeup” - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Activation of TRPV3 Inhibits Lipogenesis and Stimulates Production of Inflammatory Mediators in Human Sebocytes—A Putative Contributor to Dry Skin Dermatoses
Activating TRPV3 reduces skin oil production and increases inflammation, potentially causing dry skin issues.
research 1434 Epithelially derived MPZL3 negatively regulates murine and human sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation
MPZL3 protein helps control the size of oil glands and the growth of oil-producing cells in both mice and humans.
research Inhibition of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1–Induced Sebum Production by Bilobetin in Cultured Human Sebocytes
Bilobetin may help reduce acne by decreasing sebum production.
research Short-Chain Fatty Acids from Cutibacterium acnes Activate Both a Canonical and Epigenetic Inflammatory Response in Human Sebocytes
Short-chain fatty acids from *Cutibacterium acnes* cause skin inflammation, contributing to acne.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research 266 Glycogen metabolism and Cori cycle in human hair follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique way of using energy and might use the Cori cycle; blocking CCR5 could help treat hair loss.
research Studies of the modulation of MHC antigen and cell adhesion molecule expression on human dermal papilla cells
Different substances affect hair and skin cell growth in various ways, with some promoting and others inhibiting cell proliferation.
research The Organ-Maintained Human Sebaceous Gland
Human sebaceous glands can grow normally for a week without certain growth factors, and adding estrogen reduces their oil production without affecting cell growth.
research Sebaceous Gland Regeneration in Human Skin Xenografts
Human sebaceous glands can grow back in skin grafts on mice and work like normal human glands.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
