research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Keratinocyte-derived follistatin regulates epidermal homeostasis and wound repair
Activin activation in skin cells speeds up wound healing without affecting scar quality.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin.
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research 1375 Cutaneous adnexal cysts revisited: A novel classification based on morphological and molecular features
The conclusion introduces a new way to classify skin cysts using their shape and genetic markers.
research 1371 FGF7-dependent inhibition of human hair growth byan osteopontin-derived peptide: A novel solution for hirsutism and hypertrichosis?
A new peptide, FOL-005, may help treat excessive hair growth by reducing a hair growth promoter, FGF7.
research 1370 17β-estradiol may control human HF growth also via up-regulating the expression of cannabinoid receptor type1 expression
17β-estradiol may help hair growth by increasing cannabinoid receptor type 1.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Hair Biology and Nutritional Influences
Eating a balanced diet with the right vitamins and minerals is important for healthy hair, but too many supplements can be harmful.
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 The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
Sphynx cats are hairless and Devon Rex cats have curly hair due to specific genetic mutations.
research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer
Leptin, a hormone, is important for starting hair growth.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Nucleic acid-induced chemokine expression in keratinocytes: Implications for skin inflammation
Nucleic acids trigger chemokine production in skin cells, affecting skin inflammation.
research More than One Way to Skin a Wound
The research found a new way to heal chronic skin ulcers by turning certain cells into skin tissue using specific factors.
research Structure and hair follicle-specific expression of genes encoding the rat high sulfur protein B2 family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
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 Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
research Cyclooxygenases in the skin: pharmacological and toxicological implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research Physiological and retinoid-induced proliferations of epidermis basal keratinocytes are differently controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Anti-Acne Agents Attenuate FGFR2 Signal Transduction in Acne
Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
research Noggin overexpression inhibits eyelid opening by altering epidermal apoptosis and differentiation
Noggin overexpression delays eyelid opening by affecting cell death and skin cell development.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Over-expression of thymosin beta4 promotes abnormal tooth development and stimulation of hair growth
Too much thymosin beta4 causes weird teeth and more hair growth in mice.
research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
research Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Calcium regulation of stem cells
Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
