Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Lymphatic vessels interact dynamically with the hair follicle stem cell niche during skin regeneration in vivo
Lymphatic vessels are essential for hair follicle growth and skin regeneration.
research Targeted delivery of extracellular vesicles: the mechanisms, techniques and therapeutic applications
Engineered extracellular vesicles show promise for targeted therapy but need more research for clinical use.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Photobiomodulation of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro: decisive role of cell culture conditions and treatment protocols on experimental outcome
Different lab conditions and light treatment methods change how human skin cells respond to light therapy.
research Effect of topical application of raspberry ketone on dermal production of insulin-like growth factor-I in mice and on hair growth and skin elasticity in humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research Topical valproic acid increases the hair count in male patients with androgenetic alopecia: A randomized, comparative, clinical feasibility study using phototrichogram analysis
Valproic acid increases hair count in men with hair loss.
research Topical ALA-Photodynamic Therapy for Acne Can Induce Apoptosis of Sebocytes and Down-regulate Their TLR-2 and TLR-4 Expression
