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 Matriptase Expression and Zymogen Activation in Human Pilosebaceous Unit
Matriptase is highly active in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially during hair growth phases.
research Polymeric micelle mediated follicular delivery of spironolactone: Targeting the mineralocorticoid receptor to prevent glucocorticoid-induced activation and delayed cutaneous wound healing
Using polymeric micelles to deliver spironolactone topically could improve wound healing in skin affected by glucocorticoids.
research Decay of Skin-Specific Gene Modules in Pangolins
Pangolins have lost some skin-related genes, but kept others, leading to their unique scales and skin features.
research Trichoadenoma of vulva: A rare case with rare site of presentation
A rare non-cancerous tumor that grows like hair was found in an unusual spot, the vulva.
research Commentary
Hair disease research is a growing and evolving field in dermatology, with recent significant advances.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Enhancement of follicular delivery of finasteride by liposomes and niosomes
Liposomes and niosomes improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.
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 Transfollicular drug delivery: current perspectives
Transfollicular drug delivery is promising but needs more research to improve and understand it better.
research Fondation René Touraine
The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
research Rosacea: I. Etiology, pathogenesis, and subtype classification
Rosacea is a skin condition with unclear causes, classified into four subtypes.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Identification of Stem Cell Populations in Sweat Glands and Ducts Reveals Roles in Homeostasis and Wound Repair
The study found that sweat glands contain different types of stem cells that help with healing and maintaining healthy skin.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research A pilot study of ICG laser therapy of acne vulgaris: Photodynamic and photothermolysis treatment
ICG-enhanced NIR laser therapy may be a promising acne treatment with improvement and no side effects.
research Skin Structure, Physiology, and Pathology in Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery
Improving drug delivery through the skin requires understanding skin and using enhancers.
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 identifies novel loci conferring risk of acne vulgaris
New genetic factors linked to acne risk were discovered, highlighting the role of certain pathways and genes.
research Improved cutaneous wound healing after intraperitoneal injection of alpha‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone
Injecting alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in mice improved skin healing and reduced scarring.
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 Percutaneous absorption of a new antiandrogen included in liposomes or in solution
Liposomes can make the antiandrogen RU 58841 more effective for skin application by reducing absorption, increasing skin retention, and targeting sebaceous structures.
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 Perspectives on Hair Evolution Based on Some Comparative Studies on Vertebrate Cornification
Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.
research Structural changes in hair follicles and sebaceous glands of hairless mice following exposure to sulfur mustard
Sulfur mustard damages hair follicles and sebaceous glands in mice.
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 Alopecia in children
Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions and is easy to diagnose, but rare types require careful evaluation.
research The effects of gamma rays on the regeneration of hair follicles are carried over to later hair cycles
Gamma-ray exposure can cause long-lasting damage to hair follicles, affecting hair structure and color.
