research Concise Review: The Plasticity of Stem Cell Niches: A General Property Behind Tissue Homeostasis and Repair
Stem cell niches are adaptable and key for tissue maintenance and repair.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.
research IL-15 in T-Cell Responses and Immunopathogenesis
IL-15 is key for T cell function and could help improve treatments for immune-related diseases.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Improving translational research in sex-specific effects of comorbidities and risk factors in ischaemic heart disease and cardioprotection: position paper and recommendations of the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart
The document concludes that future heart disease research should account for sex-specific differences to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Electrophysiological mechanisms of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation of rabbit portal vein.
The study explains how minoxidil sulfate causes vasodilation in rabbits by opening potassium channels and inhibiting calcium channels.
research Effects of Nitrendipine (BAY e 5009), Nifedipine, Verapamil, Phentolamine, Papaverine, and Minoxidil on Contractions of Isolated Rabbit Aortic Smooth Muscle
Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles
Minoxidil works in liver and outer hair root sheath for hair growth.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research A wearable and stretchable dual-wavelength LED device for home care of chronic infected wounds
A new wearable LED device helps heal chronic infected wounds at home.
research Tooth Regeneration: Insights from Tooth Development and Spatial-Temporal Control of Bioactive Drug Release
Tooth regeneration could become possible by controlling how and when bioactive factors are released.
research How to distinguish medicalization from over-medicalization?
The article suggests using four questions to tell apart necessary medicalization from excessive medicalization, focusing on problem significance, social expectations, medical understanding, and effective resolution.
research Control by a hair’s breadth: the role of microRNAs in the skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Post-finasteride syndrome and post-SSRI sexual dysfunction: two sides of the same coin?
PFS and PSSD are similar conditions with persistent sexual dysfunction after stopping medication.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research The Pharmacologic Basis of the Cardiovascular Toxicity of Minoxidil in the Dog
Minoxidil can harm dog's heart.
research Refinement of Technique in Injection Lipolysis Based on Scientific Studies and Clinical Evaluation
Injection lipolysis effectively reduces small fat deposits and should be done with care and proper patient selection.
research Hypertension and Reproduction
Reproductive factors can increase hypertension risk and affect cardiovascular health.
research Hair Follicle Biology and Topical Minoxidil: Possible Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing hair thickness and prolonging growth phase.
research Epigenetic control of skin and hair regeneration after wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research The quantification of reproductive hormones in the hair of captive adult brown bears and their application as indicators of sex and reproductive state
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Afamin serum concentrations are associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in polycystic ovary syndrome
High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
