research Skin permeability and transdermal delivery route of 50-nm indomethacin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles
50-nm nanoparticles are better at penetrating skin and targeting hair follicles for drug delivery than 100-nm ones.
research It's not all traction: the pseudo ‘fringe sign’ in frontal fibrosing alopecia
The pseudo 'fringe sign' can also appear in frontal fibrosing alopecia, not just in traction alopecia, showing that this condition may be more common than thought.
research Epidermal keratinocytes initiate wound healing and pro-inflammatory immune responses following percutaneous schistosome infection
Epidermal keratinocytes start wound healing and inflammation after schistosome infection.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of the Yellow Dot Pattern in Alopecia Areata
Reflectance confocal microscopy confirms that yellow dots are signs of damaged hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research The spectrum of hair loss in patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.
research GLI2-specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells
GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research Androgenetic alopecia: Treatment results with topical minoxidil
Topical minoxidil is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia.
research Prenatal serological diagnosis of intrauterine cytomegalovirus infection.
Blood tests confirmed a baby in the womb had a CMV infection.
research Polarity signaling ensures epidermal homeostasis by coupling cellular mechanics and genomic integrity
Par3 protein is essential for skin cell balance and stability.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Development and Optimisation of Spironolactone Nanoparticles for Enhanced Dissolution Rates and Stability
Nanoparticles with more oleic acid improved the delivery and stability of the drug spironolactone.
research The utility of elastic Verhoeff-Van Gieson staining in dermatopathology
EVG staining is a valuable, simple, and cost-effective method for diagnosing various skin conditions in dermatopathology.
research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Platelet-derived growth factor signaling modulates adult hair follicle dermal stem cell maintenance and self-renewal
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining and renewing hair follicle stem cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research Trichoscopic clues for diagnosis of alopecia areata and trichotillomania in Asians
Trichoscopy helps tell apart alopecia areata and trichotillomania in Asians by looking at specific hair and scalp features.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Evaluation of biophysical skin parameters and assessment of hair growth in patients with acne treated with isotretinoin
Isotretinoin effectively reduces acne but causes dry skin, higher skin pH, more redness, and hair loss.
