research Genome-wide association study in Japanese females identifies fifteen novel skin-related trait associations
Researchers found 15 new genetic links to skin traits in Japanese women.
research ROS Balance Autoregulating Core–Shell CeO2@ZIF-8/Au Nanoplatform for Wound Repair
The nanoplatform helps heal wounds by balancing bacteria-killing and inflammation-reducing functions.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Four days of simulated shift work reduces insulin sensitivity in humans
Working night shifts for four days can lower the body's ability to use insulin, which may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
research Influence of substance-P on cultured sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
research Acorus calamus: a bio-reserve of medicinal values
*Acorus calamus* has many medicinal benefits but needs more safety research.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Use of extracellular matrix hydrogel from human placenta to restore hair-inductive potential of dermal papilla cells
Human placenta hydrogel helps restore cells needed for hair growth.
research Oxidative stress management in the hair follicle: Could targeting NRF2 counter age‐related hair disorders and beyond?
Activating NRF2 might help treat hair disorders by improving antioxidant defenses.
research Iron deficiency and diffuse nonscarring scalp alopecia in women: More pieces to the puzzle
The conclusion suggests a possible link between iron levels and hair health in women, recommending further research on iron supplementation for hair loss.
research Genetic Variants Associated with Hyperandrogenemia in PCOS Pathophysiology
Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.
research Wound healing in development
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research The transcriptional landscape of seasonal coat colour moult in the snowshoe hare
Researchers found genes that control hair color and growth change before the visible coat color changes in snowshoe hares.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research An N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea Induced Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Promoter Mutation Provides a Mouse Model for Endogenous Glucocorticoid Excess
Researchers created a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome to study glucocorticoid excess and potential treatments.
research Possible Therapeutic Effects of Ozone Mixture on Hypoxia in Tumor Development
Ozone therapy might improve cancer treatment and reduce its side effects.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Chronic Treatment with Minoxidil Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Aorta of Aged Mice
Minoxidil treatment increases aorta elasticity and reduces stiffness in aged mice, potentially helping with age-related heart issues.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Zinc: A complementary factor in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C? (Review)
Zinc supplementation may help improve treatment outcomes for chronic hepatitis C.
research Decreased lipin 1β expression in visceral adipose tissue is associated with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
Lower lipin 1β in belly fat is linked to insulin resistance in people with polycystic ovary syndrome.
