research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
research Thyroid diseases and skin autoimmunity
Thyroid diseases may contribute to autoimmune skin diseases, and more research is needed on their relationship.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata involves immune response and gene changes affecting hair loss.
research Transfollicular enhancement of gel containing cationic niosomes loaded with unsaturated fatty acids in rice (Oryza sativa) bran semi-purified fraction
The gel with special fat-loaded particles from rice bran could be an effective skin treatment for hair loss.
research Alopecia areata in a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research Advanced Medical Therapies in the Management of Non-Scarring Alopecia: Areata and Androgenic Alopecia
Advanced therapies like gene, cell, and tissue engineering show promise for hair regrowth in alopecia, but their safety and effectiveness need more verification.
research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 1: Embryology, evolution, structure, and function of sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Ability of Transplanted Cultured Epithelium to Respond to Dermal Papillae
Cultured epithelium can form hair follicles when combined with dermal papillae.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research Multiple Roles of Integrin-Linked Kinase in Epidermal Development, Maturation and Pigmentation Revealed by Molecular Profiling
ILK is essential for skin development, pigmentation, and healing.
research Model systems for the study of dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte invasion of human keratin.
Terbinafine effectively stops fungal invasion of human keratin.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Defining the transcriptional signature of esophageal-to-skin lineage conversion
Adult esophageal cells can start to become like skin cells, with a key pathway influencing this change.
research Hairless-knockout piglets generated using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated-9 exhibit abnormalities in the skin and thymus
Pigs without the Hairless gene showed skin and thymus changes, useful for studying human hair disorders.
research ICG laser therapy of acne vulgaris
Near-infrared laser therapy with Indocyanine Green dye improves acne by reducing inflammation without side effects.
research Understanding Cancer Cells of Origin in Cutaneous Tumors
The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
research The effect of experimental hypothyroidism on the skin of adult male albino rats and the therapeutic role of topical triiodothyronine
Hypothyroidism harms rat skin, but topical triiodothyronine may help improve it.
research Deciphering the cellular landscape and genetic underpinnings of fiber diameter determined by dermal papilla cells in fine-wool sheep
Dermal papilla cells are key to fine wool growth in sheep.
research Herbal Powder Shampoo : A General Review
Herbal powder shampoo is effective, safe, and beneficial for various hair needs.
research Unravelling Childhood Tinea Capitis: A Multi-Dimensional Investigation Using Dermoscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Mass Spectrometry
Tinea capitis in a child was caused by a fungus from cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research COX2-ATP Synthase Regulates Spine Follicle Size in Hedgehogs
COX2 and ATP synthase control the size of hedgehog spines.
research Scalp Sebaceous Physiology
The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.
research Skin structure
Human skin has multiple layers and functions, with key roles in protection, temperature control, and appearance.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.

Skin organoids are a promising new model for studying human skin development and testing treatments.
research Atlas of Geriatric Dermatology
The book details skin conditions in older adults, their link to mental health, cancer treatment importance, hair loss remedies, and managing autoimmune and itchy skin.
research Classification of Surgical Therapies in Vitiligo
Surgical therapies for vitiligo vary in effectiveness, with combination therapy and medical tattooing recommended for better results.
research Methods for quantifying intrafollicular drug delivery: a critical appraisal
The document concludes that there is no agreed-upon best method for measuring drug delivery within hair follicles and more research is needed to validate current techniques.
