research Management of Complications Associated with Upper Facial Rejuvenation
Careful planning and technique in upper facial rejuvenation can minimize risks like hair loss, nerve damage, and scarring.
research Multiple cell types guided by neurocytes orchestrate horn bud initiation in dairy goats
Nerve cells and other cell types work together to start horn growth in dairy goats.
research Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory neuron and Merkel-cell remodeling are decoupled during epidermal homeostasis
Merkel cells stabilize nerve endings in the skin, and they change independently of each other.
research Hyaluronic Acid Profhilo® Alleviates Skin Inflammation and Spinal Neuroimmune Alterations in a Mouse Model of Atopic Dermatitis
Hyaluronic Acid Profhilo® reduces skin inflammation and nerve-related pain in atopic dermatitis.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research A subpopulation of itch‐sensing neurons marked by Ret and somatostatin expression
Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.
research Eclipta prostrata (L.) L. (Asteraceae): Ethnomedicinal Uses, Chemical Constituents, and Biological Activities
Eclipta prostrata is a medicinal plant that helps treat diseases, protects the liver and nerves, and promotes hair growth.
research Neural, adipocyte and hepatic differentiation potential of primary and secondary hair follicle stem cells isolated from Arbas Cashmere goats
Hair follicle stem cells from Arbas Cashmere goats can become fat, nerve, and liver cells.
research IDENTIFICATION OF RELAY CELLS AND INTERNEURONS IN THE CUNEATE NUCLEUS
The cuneate nucleus has two main neuron types: relay neurons and interneurons.
research Tactile sensitivity in the rat: a correlation between receptor structure and function
Rats have different touch receptors in their paws that help with movement and handling objects.
research Normal Ultrasound Anatomy of the Skin, Nail, and Hair
The document explains what healthy skin, nails, and hair look like on an ultrasound.
research The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal
Prdm1 is necessary for early whisker development in mice but not for other hair, and its absence changes nerve and brain patterns related to whiskers.
research Macrophages maintain mammary stem cell activity and mammary homeostasis via TNF-α-Cdk1/Cyclin B1 axis
Macrophages help maintain mammary stem cells and balance through specific signaling.
research The Extended Centrolateral Endoscopic Midface Lift
The technique improves facial aging signs with a low risk of complications and a recovery time of about 3 weeks.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Abstract presented at the Joint meeting of the 21st meeting of the Japanese Research Society of clinical anatomy and the 6th meeting of the Society for aging image
High-resolution imaging is crucial for diagnosing and planning treatments in clinical anatomy and aging.
research Innervation Patterns of Harp Seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) Vibrissal Sensory Systems
Harp seals have different innervation patterns in their whiskers, with lateral whiskers having more axons than medial ones.
research Three-Dimensional Morphology of Touch Domes in Human Hairy Skin by Correlative Light and Scanning Electron Microscopy
Touch domes in human skin are complex sensory structures not directly linked to hair.
research Total Facelift: Forehead Lift, Midface Lift, and Neck Lift
Facelifts for Asians are challenging due to thicker, heavier skin.
research Three-dimensional architecture and linearized mapping of vibrissa follicle afferents
Large-scale reconstructions enhance understanding of vibrissal sensory mapping in the brain.
research Prevalence of Cobalt in the Environment and Its Role in Biological Processes
Cobalt is important for health but too much or too little can cause health problems, and its environmental buildup is a concern.
research The structure and organization of lanceolate mechanosensory complexes at mouse hair follicles
Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.
research Protein Immobilization on Bacterial Cellulose for Biomedical Application
Bacterial cellulose is a promising material for biomedical uses but needs improvements in antimicrobial properties and degradation rate.
