Research
390-420 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Fate of Trichohyalin
Trichohyalin is modified by enzymes to form strong structures in hair cells.
research A prospective study of the prevalence of clear-cut endocrine disorders and polycystic ovaries in 350 patients presenting with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia
Most women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia had polycystic ovaries, especially if they had irregular periods.
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 Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Identification and molecular characterization of a new ovarian cancer susceptibility locus at 17q21.31
A new genetic region, 17q21.31, is linked to higher ovarian cancer risk.
research Fluorescence Microscopy—An Outline of Hardware, Biological Handling, and Fluorophore Considerations
Designing effective fluorescence microscopy experiments requires careful consideration of hardware, biological models, and imaging agents.
research Autosomal-Dominant Woolly Hair Resulting from Disruption of Keratin 74 (KRT74), a Potential Determinant of Human Hair Texture
A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.
research Stimulation of Hair Growth by Small Molecules that Activate Autophagy
Certain small molecules can promote hair growth by activating a cellular cleanup process called autophagy.
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 Cutaneous Inflammatory Response to Thermal Burn Injury in a Murine Model
Burn injuries in mice heal similarly to humans, with inflammation and cell changes normalizing over time.
research Acne Keloidalis: A Review
Acne keloidalis is a chronic skin condition on the back of the neck in young black men, needing surgery for severe cases.
research Finasteride Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss in Normoandrogenic Postmenopausal Women
Finasteride can slow hair loss and promote growth in postmenopausal women.
research Environmental Air Pollutants Affecting Skin Functions with Systemic Implications
Air pollution harms skin health and can worsen skin diseases.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research A novel mouse model demonstrates that oncogenic melanocyte stem cells engender melanoma resembling human disease
Oncogenic melanocyte stem cells can develop into melanoma similar to human cases.
research The dark art of light measurement: accurate radiometry for low-level light therapy
Most low-level light therapy studies did not accurately report how light was measured, affecting treatment reliability.
research Role of -catenin in Epidermal Stem Cell Expansion, Lineage Selection, and Cancer
Beta-catenin is crucial for skin cell growth, development, and cancer formation.
research Causes and Management of Hypertrichosis
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research Possible protective effect of hydroxychloroquine on delaying the occurrence of integument damage in lupus: LXXI, data from a multiethnic cohort
Hydroxychloroquine may help delay skin damage in lupus patients.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Ceramide Synthase 4 Regulates Stem Cell Homeostasis and Hair Follicle Cycling
Ceramide Synthase 4 is essential for normal hair growth and preventing hair loss.
research Brg1 Governs a Positive Feedback Circuit in the Hair Follicle for Tissue Regeneration and Repair
Brg1 is crucial for hair growth and skin repair by maintaining stem cells and promoting regeneration.

Type I keratin genes are closely linked to the rex locus on mouse chromosome 11, affecting hair development.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Contrasting Localization of c-Myc with Other Myc Superfamily Transcription Factors in the Human Hair Follicle and During the Hair Growth Cycle
