Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Alterations in Pattern Baldness According to Sex: Hair Metabolomics Approach
Hair loss causes differ between men and women due to changes in hormone levels and inflammation-related pathways.
research A novel homozygous variant in the dsp gene underlies the first case of non-syndromic form of alopecia
A new gene variant in the DSP gene is linked to a unique type of hair loss.
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Effect of Topical Grape Sap on Apoptosis in Hair Follicle Among Male Rats
Grape sap may help reduce hair loss and promote hair growth in rats.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.

research Dimorphic regulation of the MafB gene by sex steroids in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)
Sex steroids affect the MafB gene differently in male and female hamsters.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Single-cell analysis of murine fibroblasts identifies neonatal to adult switching that regulates cardiomyocyte maturation
Adult fibroblasts help heart cells mature and improve heart function.
research Nurses' Drug Alert
Some drugs can cause serious side effects, like hypoglycemia from mix-ups, skin reactions, or depression, and while penicillamine may help rheumatoid arthritis more than auranofin, it has more severe side effects.
research Changes in eyebrow position following blepharoptosis surgery
Blepharoptosis surgery usually lowers the eyebrows, especially near the nose.
research Contemporary techniques of hair replacement
In 1981, the punch graft technique was the main method for hair transplantation, and medical treatments for baldness were not very effective.
research Physiochemical Properties, Lipid Breakdown, β-Carotenoids, Tocopherols, Vitamins, Amino and Fatty Acid Profiles of Soxhlet Extracted Oil from Different Garden Cress Seed (<i>Lepidium sativum</i> L.) Genotypes in Ethiopia

research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
The mutated hairless gene causes hair loss by acting as a new type of corepressor affecting thyroid hormone receptors.
research Olfactory receptor OR2AT4 regulates human hair growth
A certain smell receptor in hair follicles can affect hair growth when activated by a synthetic sandalwood scent.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
