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 Stem cell factor/c-Kit signalling in normal and androgenetic alopecia hair follicles
SCF and c-Kit decrease in AGA hair follicles, possibly affecting hair pigmentation and growth.
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 Tight Junction barriers in human hair follicles – role of claudin-1
Claudin-1 is important for the barrier function and growth of hair.
research Modern drug delivery strategies applied to natural active compounds
New drug delivery methods can make natural compounds more effective and stable.
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 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 Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research How real is senescent alopecia? A histopathologic approach
Aging alone rarely causes significant hair loss; hormones are a bigger factor.
research Toxic Hepatitis Induced by Show-Wu-Pian, a Chinese Herbal Preparation
A woman's liver was damaged by taking the herbal supplement Shou-Wu-Pian, but it got better after she stopped using it.
research Multipotent nestin‐expressing hair follicle stem cells
Hair follicle stem cells can turn into various cell types and help repair nerves.
research Short anagen syndrome
Short anagen syndrome involves a hair growth phase lasting 1.5 years.
research Top applications of dermatologic ultrasonography that can modify management
Ultrasonography in dermatology improves diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions.
research Convergent Evolution of Cysteine-Rich Keratins in Hard Skin Appendages of Terrestrial Vertebrates
Cysteine-rich keratins evolved independently in mammals, reptiles, and birds for hard skin structures like hair, claws, and feathers.
research CC-type glutaredoxins mediate plant response and signaling under nitrate starvation in Arabidopsis
ROXY proteins help plants respond to nitrate shortage by affecting nutrient sensing and growth.
research Prognosis, treatment, and disease outcomes in frontal fibrosing alopecia: A retrospective review of 92 cases
Most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia stabilized with treatment, especially younger ones, using intralesional corticosteroids and tacrolimus.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Endogenous human skin equivalent promotes in vitro morphogenesis of follicle-like structures
Endo-HSE helps grow hair-like structures from human skin cells in the lab.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
