research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
research Transforming growth factor-β in stem cells and tissue homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Herbal Therapy in Dermatology
Some herbal therapies may help with skin conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Regulatory T Cells: the Many Faces of Foxp3
Foxp3 is crucial for regulatory T cell function, and targeting these cells may help treat immune disorders.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary
Testosterone replacement may help some postmenopausal women with symptoms like fatigue and low libido, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Antioxidants in dermatology
Antioxidants can benefit skin health but should be used carefully to avoid negative effects.
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 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 TGF-β Family Signaling in Epithelial Differentiation and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
The TGF-β family helps control how cells change and move, affecting skin, hair, and organ development.
research Skin ageing
After menopause, women lose a lot of skin collagen, but estrogen replacement might improve skin health.
research Oxidative stress and autoimmune skin disease
Antioxidants may help fight oxidative stress linked to autoimmune skin diseases.
research Prostaglandin metabolism in human hair follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Lights triggered differential accumulation of antioxidant and antidiabetic secondary metabolites in callus culture of Eclipta alba L.
Red light boosts beneficial compounds in Eclipta alba cultures.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research An Assessment on Impact of COVID-19 Infection in a Gender Specific Manner
Men have higher COVID-19 mortality rates than women due to biological and lifestyle factors.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research The cultural and philosophical concepts of cosmetics in beauty and art through the medical history of mankind
Cosmetics enhance beauty, fix defects, and intimidate enemies, with varying cultural standards and alternative methods.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Environmental stress but not subjective distress in children or adolescents with alopecia areata
Kids with alopecia areata may experience more stress but not necessarily feel more anxious or depressed than others.
research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research CC-type glutaredoxins mediate plant response and signaling under nitrate starvation in Arabidopsis
ROXY proteins help plants respond to nitrate shortage by affecting nutrient sensing and growth.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research FOXN1 deficient nude severe combined immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research Anthralin/dithranol in dermatology
Anthralin is effective for psoriasis and alopecia with minimal systemic side effects but can irritate the skin.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
