Research
420-450 / 1000+ results research Type 1 interferon signature and cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation targeted against sweat ducts in inflammatory acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis
Inflammation damages sweat ducts, causing sweat gland injury.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Alopecia types, current and future treatment
Current alopecia treatments manage symptoms but don't cure, and better treatments are needed.
research An appraisal of laboratory models of androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review
Better hair loss models needed for research.
research Viewpoint 3
Oxidative stress plays a significant role in vitiligo, and both skin and non-skin cells may be involved.
research Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing of goat skins identifies signatures associated with hair cycling
DNA methylation changes are linked to hair growth cycles in goats.
research Engineering Pro‐Regenerative Hydrogels for Scarless Wound Healing
Hydrogels could lead to better treatments for wound healing without scars.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Distinct transcriptomic landscapes of cutaneous basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas
Basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas have different gene activity patterns, suggesting unique treatment approaches.
research Non‐infective mucocutaneous presentations of human immunodeficiency virus infection
Most HIV patients develop skin symptoms that can indicate the stage of their disease.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholestrolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research Scarring Alopecia
Early and aggressive treatment of scarring alopecia is important to prevent further hair follicle damage.
research Postnatal determinants of testicular germ cell tumor by histological subtypes: The EPSAM1 and EPSAM2 studies
Childhood and adult height, and early immune-related hospitalizations increase testicular cancer risk, while baldness, larger families, and sports reduce it.
research Identification of a human type XVII collagen fragment with high capacity for maintaining skin health
A fragment of human type XVII collagen shows great potential for skin health and wound healing.
research Geriatric Dermatology: Overview
Skin problems in the elderly are unique and may indicate other diseases, involving changes in skin, hair, nails, and increased cancer risk.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Comparative transcriptome profiling of hair follicles from forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) at different stages
The research provides insights into hair follicle growth in forest musk deer by identifying key genes and pathways involved.
research Decision letter: A counter gradient of Activin A and follistatin instructs the timing of hair cell differentiation in the murine cochlea
Activin A promotes ear hair cell development, while follistatin delays it.
research Hair follicle–derived IL-7 and IL-15 mediate skin-resident memory T cell homeostasis and lymphoma
Hair follicle-derived IL-7 and IL-15 are crucial for maintaining skin-resident memory T cells and could be targeted for treating skin diseases and lymphoma.
research Type XVII collagen coordinates proliferation in the interfollicular epidermis
Type XVII collagen helps control skin cell growth and could be a target for anti-aging treatments.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research Anti-programmed cell death protein 1-induced lichenoid changes of the nail unit: Histopathologic description
Nail changes from immunotherapy can be managed without stopping cancer treatment.
research Experimental cutaneous Bacillus anthracis infections in hairless HRS/J mice
Hairless HRS/J mice resist Bacillus anthracis skin infections due to high numbers of immune cells, not because they lack hair follicles.
research Mechanisms and cell lineages in lymphatic vascular development
Lymphatic vessels develop from various cell types and mechanisms, not just veins.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
