research HYPOPIGMENTED MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES IN A CHILD SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH UVA1-LIGHT
UVA1-light therapy successfully treated a child's skin condition, mycosis fungoides.
research Computational derivation of a molecular framework for hair follicle biology from disease genes
The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.
research The in vitro plasticity of hair follicle dermal and mesenchymal stem cells
Hair follicle stem cells are similar to mesenchymal stem cells and can become neural-like cells under certain conditions.
research Hair follicles, their disorders and their opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Hair Follicle Targeting with Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles can be used to deliver drugs to hair follicles, potentially improving treatments for conditions like acne and alopecia, and could also be used for vaccine delivery and gene therapy.
research Roles for Msx and Dlx homeoproteins in vertebrate development
Msx and Dlx genes are crucial for development, controlling cell behaviors like growth and differentiation through their roles as gene regulators.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Motoneuron-Specific PTEN Deletion in Mice Induces Neuronal Hypertrophy and Also Regeneration after Facial Nerve Injury
Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Demethylation of ITGAV accelerates osteogenic differentiation in a blast-induced heterotopic ossification in vitro cell culture model
Removing a methyl group from the ITGAV gene speeds up bone formation in a specific type of bone disease model.
research Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and the polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review
The review found no clear link between vitamin D receptor gene variations and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Inherited ichthyoses/generalized Mendelian disorders of cornification
Inherited ichthyoses cause widespread skin scaling and thickening due to gene mutations.
research Treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris: a systematic review
No effective treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia was found, but oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors had the best response; for lichen planopilaris, topical corticosteroids were commonly used but had a high relapse rate.
research The Aldo-Keto Reductase AKR1B10 Is Up-Regulated in Keloid Epidermis, Implicating Retinoic Acid Pathway Dysregulation in the Pathogenesis of Keloid Disease
AKR1B10 enzyme may cause keloid scars and could be a treatment target.
research Prediction and Demonstration of Retinoic Acid Receptor Agonist Ch55 as an Antifibrotic Agent in the Dermis
Ch55 may help reduce skin scarring and fibrosis.
research IL-1 Receptor–Knockout Mice Develop Epidermal Cysts and Show an Altered Innate Immune Response after Exposure to UVB Radiation
IL-1 receptor absence in mice leads to skin cysts and changes in immune response after UVB exposure.
research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23
The synthetic retinoid EC23 thickens skin and promotes hair growth more effectively and with a lower dose than natural retinoids.
research Two Opposing Faces of Retinoic Acid: Induction of Stemness or Induction of Differentiation Depending on Cell-Type
Retinoic acid can either maintain stem cells or make them specialize, depending on the cell type.
research Isotretinoin treatment upregulates the expression of p53 in the skin and sebaceous glands of patients with acne vulgaris
Acne treatment with isotretinoin increases the presence of p53, a protein, in skin and oil glands, which may help reduce acne severity.
research A unique insertion/duplication in the VDR gene that truncates the VDR causing hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets without alopecia
A unique gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets without causing hair loss.
research Cutaneous Retinoic Acid Levels Determine Hair Follicle Development and Downgrowth
The right amount of retinoic acid is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research All-trans retinoic acid modulates proliferation and apoptosis of secondary hair follicle–dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats via the TGF-β2/Smad2/3 pathway
All-trans retinoic acid slows cell growth and increases cell death in goat hair follicles through a specific pathway.
research Retinoic acid drives hair follicle stem cell activation via Wnt/β‐catenin signalling in androgenetic alopecia
Retinoic acid helps activate hair growth in people with common hair loss by working on a specific cell growth pathway.
