research Embryologic layers in dermatology: Developmental checkpoint disorders, diagnostic insight, and regenerative futures
Understanding embryologic layers improves skin disorder diagnosis and supports developing targeted therapies.
research Stabilization of β-catenin promotes melanocyte specification at the expense of the Schwann cell lineage
Activating β-catenin increases melanocytes and decreases Schwann cells.
research Tfap2b specifies an embryonic melanocyte stem cell that retains adult multi-fate potential
The gene Tfap2b is essential for creating a type of stem cell in zebrafish that can become different pigment cells.
research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze
Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
research HAIR REGROWTH
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research The Usual Treatment of Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias
The document concludes that inhalation of oxygen and sumatriptan injections are primary for cluster headaches, indomethacin for paroxysmal hemicrania, and lidocaine and lamotrigine for SUNCT, but SUNCT often resists treatment.
research Use of adapalene in alopecia areata: Efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate 0.1% cream versus combination of mometasone furoate 0.1% cream and adapalene 0.1% gel in alopecia areata
Combining mometasone furoate cream with adapalene gel is safer and more effective for hair regrowth in alopecia areata than using the cream alone.
research Middle East Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diabetes: A Review
Some Middle Eastern plants may help treat diabetes and could be alternatives to current drugs, but more research is needed.
research Preparation and in vivo evaluation of lecithin-based microparticles for topical delivery of minoxidil
Lecithin-based microparticles can deliver minoxidil for hair growth effectively with less skin irritation.
research Modulating the stem cell niche for tissue regeneration
Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
research Small molecules and small molecule drugs in regenerative medicine
Small molecule drugs show promise for advancing regenerative medicine but still face development challenges.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Molecular biology of hair morphogenesis: Development and cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Platelet-derived growth factor signaling modulates adult hair follicle dermal stem cell maintenance and self-renewal
PDGF signaling is crucial for maintaining and renewing hair follicle stem cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research DPSCs and SHED in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
DPSCs and SHED have great potential for medical treatments and tissue repair.
research Morphological characteristics and notes of the skin in preclinical toxicity assessment
Skin structure complexity and variability are crucial for assessing skin toxicity in safety tests.
research Retinoids in scarless skin regeneration: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic strategies
Retinoic acid may help heal skin without scars by reducing fibrosis and supporting skin regeneration.
research Effects of FGF5-mediated LncRNA on the skin fibroblast growth of Liaoning Cashmere goats
FGF-5 promotes Cashmere goat hair growth by increasing keratin genes and reducing certain LncRNA and target genes.
research Chemically Induced Depigmentation of Skin and Hair
Some chemicals can permanently or temporarily remove color from skin and hair, which can be distressing and is not well-regulated in cosmetics.
research Epidermal stem cells and skin tissue engineering in hair follicle regeneration
Hair follicle regeneration needs special conditions and young cells.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Genomic Portraiture: The Science and Ethics of DNA Phenotyping in Identity Prediction
DNA phenotyping can predict physical traits like eye, hair, and skin color, improving forensic investigations.
research Screening and Identification of LncRNAs Related to Villus Growth of Liaoning Cashmere Goats and Their Effects on Growth after FGF5 Treatment
Certain long non-coding RNAs in cashmere goats affect hair growth when treated with a specific growth factor.
research Wound Healing and the Use of Medicinal Plants
Some medicinal plants can help heal wounds and may lead to new treatments.
