Short-chain fatty acids from *Cutibacterium acnes* cause skin inflammation, contributing to acne.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Tamsulosin treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia and risk of severe hypotension in men aged 40-85 years in the United States: risk window analyses using between and within patient methodology
Tamsulosin for enlarged prostate may increase the risk of severe low blood pressure, especially when starting or restarting the medication.
research Next generation human skin constructs as advanced tools for drug development
Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.

Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
