research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research FC053 Pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade in human plucked hair
Anti-IL-1 treatments might help with certain types of hair loss in people with high inflammation.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
research Cylindroma as Tumor of Hair Follicle Origin
Cylindromas likely originate from hair follicle stem cells, not sweat glands.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-1 Antagonists Alleviate Inflammatory Skin Changes Associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Antibody Therapy in Mice
Blocking certain proteins can reduce skin inflammation caused by cancer treatment.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances, and requires ongoing treatment to manage.
research Dormancy in the stem cell niche
Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
research Stem cell identification-in vivo lineage analysis versus in vitro isolation and clonal expansion
In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.
research Evidence that mirex promotes a unique population of epidermal cells that cannot be distinguished by their mutant Ha-ras genotype
Mirex seems to promote a unique group of skin cells different from those affected by another tumor promoter, TPA.
research Epidermal stem cells: an update on their potential in regenerative medicine
Epidermal stem cells have potential for personalized regenerative medicine but need careful handling to avoid cancer.
research Lgr5+ stem cells and their progeny in mouse epidermis under regimens of exogenous skin carcinogenesis, and their absence in ensuing skin tumors
Lgr5+ stem cells do not cause skin tumors.
research Histochemical observations of lectin-binding sites and keratin distribution in calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe.
Tumor cells in calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe resemble hair follicle cells.
research Evaluating Antiinflammatory and Antiandrogenic Effects of Garden Cress (Lepidium sativum L.) in HaCaT cells
Garden cress extract may help treat skin inflammation and androgen-related disorders.
research Cutaneous Lymphadenoma Is a Distinct Trichoblastoma-like Lymphoepithelial Tumor With Diffuse Androgen Receptor Immunoreactivity, Notch1 Ligand in Reed-Sternberg–like Cells, and Common EGFR Somatic Mutations
Cutaneous Lymphadenoma is a unique skin tumor with specific protein markers and common gene mutations that may cause continuous cell growth.
research Congenital cutaneous lymphadenoma
An 8-year-old girl had a rare, benign skin tumor on her forehead.
research Early leonine facies with alopecia in a young man
A young man was diagnosed with trichoepitheliomas, causing thick skin and hair loss.
research Treatment of Cultured Sebocytes with an EGFR Inhibitor Does Not Lead to Significant Upregulation of Inflammatory Biomarkers

research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: clinical criteria
The document concludes that hirsutism is the main sign for diagnosing hyperandrogenism, which requires a detailed patient history and physical exam.
research Updated Treatment for Acne: Targeted Therapy Based on Pathogenesis
Future acne treatments should aggressively target inflammation to prevent scarring.
research Proinflammatory cytokines regulate epidermal stem cells in wound epithelialization
Certain immune system proteins are important for skin healing but can cause problems if there are too many of them.
