research Three-row stereocilia model predicts mammalian hair bundle behavior
The model explains how mammal ear hair cells respond to sound and adapt.
research Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
research The action of diazoxide and minoxidil sulphate on rat blood vessels: a comparison with cromakalim
Diazoxide, minoxidil sulphate, and cromakalim relax rat blood vessels by opening K+ channels, with some differences in their actions.

research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Erasing the methyl mark: histone demethylases at the center of cellular differentiation and disease
Histone demethylases can change gene expression and may be linked to diseases like cancer.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease: A Premature Association?
While PCOS might increase the risk of heart disease, there's not strong evidence to prove it causes earlier heart problems.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Genome-wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage
Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
research Epigenetic control of adult stem cell function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Endothelial Dysfunction in PCOS: Role of Obesity and Adipose Hormones
Women with PCOS have heart-related issues not because of obesity, but due to insulin resistance and low adiponectin levels.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Patient factors influencing dermal filler complications: prevention, assessment, and treatment
Choosing the right patients, using proper techniques, and having thorough knowledge are key to preventing and managing dermal filler complications.
research MIM and Cortactin Antagonism Regulates Ciliogenesis and Hedgehog Signaling
MIM is crucial for hair follicle formation and regeneration by controlling cilia formation and hedgehog signaling through its interaction with Cortactin and Src.
research Differentiation of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into a Multipotent Keratinocyte Lineage
Scientists turned mouse stem cells into skin cells that can grow into skin layers and structures.
research Management of primary cicatricial alopecias: options for treatment
There are many treatments for permanent hair loss disorders, but their effectiveness varies and there's no clear best option.
research Adult Kawasaki Disease: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Kawasaki Disease is rare and often missed in adults, who show different symptoms than children, and may benefit from early treatment.
research Stem cells in tissues, organoids, and cancers
Stem cells are crucial for tissue growth, cancer treatment, and disease modeling, but challenges remain in clinical use.
