research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is linked to specific genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research ERG induces androgen receptor-mediated regulation of SOX9 in prostate cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Penetration of drugs through skin, a complex rate-controlling membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Host-microbiome interactions and recent progress into understanding the biology of acne vulgaris
Acne is linked to complex skin microbe interactions, and new findings suggest microbiome-based treatments could be effective.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Ligand-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor Maintain Hair Follicle Homeostasis
The vitamin D receptor is essential for normal hair growth, even without its usual binding.
research Vitamin D receptor is essential for normal keratinocyte stem cell function
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for normal hair growth and preventing hair loss.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research FGF Family: From Drug Development to Clinical Application
FGF signaling is a promising target for developing treatments for wounds, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Induces Proliferation of Hair Follicle-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mediated Activation of ERK and AKT Signaling Pathways Associated with Upregulation of Cyclin D1 and Downregulation of p16
Epidermal growth factor helps hair stem cells grow by activating specific cell pathways.
research Chronic Restraint Stress Inhibits Hair Growth via Substance P Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species in Mice
Chronic stress can cause hair loss by increasing oxidative stress, but antioxidants may help.
research Novel mechanisms for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the skin and in skin cancer
Vitamin D receptor helps prevent skin cancer and supports skin health.
