research The Dermal Papilla: An Instructive Niche for Epithelial Stem and Progenitor Cells in Development and Regeneration of the Hair Follicle
The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
research A Perspective on RNAi-Based Biopesticides
RNAi-based biopesticides could be safe and effective for pest control with careful development and risk assessment.
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 Incorporation of Isotopically Labeled Cocaine and Metabolites into Human Hair: 1. Dose-Response Relationships
Hair analysis can detect cocaine use but doesn't accurately show the amount or timing of use.
research From causes of aging to death from COVID-19
Older age and related diseases increase COVID-19 risk, but anti-aging treatments might help.
research Sex differences in COVID-19: the role of androgens in disease severity and progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Lichen Planopilaris Treated With a Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor γ Agonist
A specific drug can help treat Lichen Planopilaris, a condition causing permanent hair loss.
research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Platelet‐rich plasma and regenerative dentistry
Platelet-rich plasma might help tissue regeneration in dentistry, but results vary and more research is needed.
research Hair Loss After Routine Immunizations
Some vaccines might rarely cause hair loss, more research is needed.
research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
SOX11 and SOX4 help skin cells act like embryonic cells to heal wounds in mice.
research KLK5 and KLK7 Ablation Fully Rescues Lethality of Netherton Syndrome-Like Phenotype
Removing both KLK5 and KLK7 proteins can prevent death and skin issues in Netherton syndrome.
research Flares of systemic lupus erythematosus during pregnancy and the puerperium: prevention, diagnosis and management
Pregnancy can increase lupus activity, but careful planning and treatment can improve outcomes.
research The blastema and epimorphic regeneration in mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Are the cutaneous manifestations during or due to SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 frequent or not? Revision of possible pathophysiologic mechanisms
Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
research VITAMIN D RESISTANT RICKETS WITH ALOPECIA: A FORM OF END ORGAN RESISTANCE TO 1,25 DIHYDROXY VITAMIN D
A girl with rickets and hair loss was found to have a rare condition where her body didn't respond to vitamin D treatment.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Zinc deficiency and its management in the pediatric population: A literature review and proposed etiologic classification
Zinc deficiency in children can cause skin issues and can be serious if not diagnosed and treated properly.
research Safety of dermatologic medications in pregnancy and lactation
Most dermatologic medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some should be avoided due to potential risks.
research Animal models for the study of fetal tissue repair
Understanding how fetal wounds heal could help improve healing in adults.
research Ectopic Expression of the nude Gene Induces Hyperproliferation and Defects in Differentiation: Implications for the Self-Renewal of Cutaneous Epithelia
The nude gene causes skin cell overgrowth and improper development, leading to hair and urinary issues.
research Targeted gene delivery to skin cells in vivo: A comparative study of liposomes and polymers as delivery vehicles
Nonionic liposomes are the best for delivering genes to skin cells.
research Beta-caryophyllene enhances wound healing through multiple routes
