research Strategic Targets in Acne: The Comedone Switch in Question
The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
research Trichoscopy (hair and scalp videodermoscopy) in the healthy female. Method standardization and norms for measurable parameters
Researchers established normal hair and scalp characteristics for healthy women using trichoscopy.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research PPAR-γ Agonists and Their Role in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
research Analysis of Hair Follicles in Mutant Laboratory Mice
Understanding normal hair follicle development helps analyze abnormalities in mutant mice.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research Canine Follicle Stem Cell Candidates Reside in the Bulge and Share Characteristic Features with Human Bulge Cells
Canine hair follicles have stem cells similar to human hair follicles, useful for studying hair disorders.
research Disorders of excessive hair growth in the adolescent
Hirsutism in teen girls is common, usually harmless, but can sometimes signal serious issues and is treatable.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin is essential for protection, temperature control, and immune defense.
research Essential Role of Polarity Protein Par3 for Epidermal Homeostasis through Regulation of Barrier Function, Keratinocyte Differentiation, and Stem Cell Maintenance
The protein Par3 is crucial for healthy skin, affecting the skin barrier, cell differentiation, and stem cell maintenance.
research Localization of varicella-zoster virus nucleic acids and proteins in human skin
The research found that chickenpox virus spreads in skin through blood then to skin cells, while shingles virus moves from nerves to hair follicle areas before infecting skin cells.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.
research The evolution of healthy skin to acne lesions: a longitudinal, in vivo evaluation with reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography
Acne lesions start with changes in hair follicles and increase in inflammation, suggesting a cycle that could affect treatment strategies.
research In vitro skin models to study epithelial regeneration from the hair follicle
PSU are better than THF at regenerating skin layers in lab models.
research Expression of CD1d in human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle related alterations
CD1d expression in scalp skin and hair follicles changes with the hair cycle and may help protect against microbes.
research Cutaneous Toxicities From Transplantation-Related Medications
Skin problems from transplant drugs are common and need careful management in organ transplant patients.
research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 1: Embryology, evolution, structure, and function of sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Androgen Receptors in the Scalp of the Stumptail Macaque Monkey, a Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.
research Cutaneous immunopathology of androgenetic alopecia
Inflammation may play a role in causing androgenetic alopecia.
research Study of the biological function and penetration pathways of the mouse epidermal growth factor ethosomal delivery system
The ethosomal delivery system improves topical drug delivery and promotes hair growth.
research The treatment of acne
Early treatment of acne is important to prevent scarring and improve appearance, using medications that can have side effects.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Lineage Tracing of Hair Follicle Stem Cells in Epidermal Whole Mounts
The method allows for 3D tracking of hair follicle stem cells and shows they can regenerate hair for up to 180 days.
research Acne: Diet and acnegenesis
Eating dairy and high glycemic foods may increase the risk of acne.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Trichostasis Spinulosa: A Clinical Simulant of Acne Open Comedones
Trichostasis spinulosa can look like acne but usually affects adults, not children.
research Transfollicular drug delivery: current perspectives
Transfollicular drug delivery is promising but needs more research to improve and understand it better.
research Cutaneous immunopathology of androgenetic alopecia.
Inflammation, possibly triggered by a specific bacteria and activated by UV radiation, may contribute to male pattern baldness.
