research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Nerve-Derived Sonic Hedgehog Defines a Niche for Hair Follicle Stem Cells Capable of Becoming Epidermal Stem Cells
Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.
research Alopecia areata update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research Defining the impact of β-catenin/Tcf transactivation on epithelial stem cells
β-catenin is essential for stem cell activation and proliferation in hair follicles.
research Corticosteroids for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.
research Treatment of Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.
research Defining stem cell dynamics and migration during wound healing in mouse skin epidermis
Stem cells help heal wounds by rapidly dividing and migrating to the wound edge.
research Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Childhood obesity is rising globally due to various factors, and early prevention and healthy lifestyle changes are crucial.
research Auxin and ethylene: collaborators or competitors?
Auxin and ethylene hormones both work together and against each other to control plant growth.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Dual growth factor releasing multi-functional nanofibers for wound healing
The nanofibers with two growth factors improved wound healing by supporting structure, preventing infection, and aiding tissue growth.
research EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair
EZH1 and EZH2 are crucial for healthy hair growth and skin repair.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Treatment of invasive aspergillosis with itraconazole
Itraconazole is potentially effective for treating invasive aspergillosis, but more research is needed.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research IL-17-producing γδ T cells enhance bone regeneration
IL-17-producing γδ T cells help improve bone healing.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research Calreticulin: non‐endoplasmic reticulum functions in physiology and disease
Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research SKPs Derive from Hair Follicle Precursors and Exhibit Properties of Adult Dermal Stem Cells
SKPs are similar to adult skin stem cells and could help in skin repair and hair growth.
research Pioneer factors govern super-enhancer dynamics in stem cell plasticity and lineage choice
Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research β-catenin Activity in the Dermal Papilla Regulates Morphogenesis and Regeneration of Hair
β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast heterogeneity and myeloid-derived adipocyte progenitors in murine skin wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Defective trophoblast function in mice with a targeted mutation of Ets2
Ets2 gene is crucial for placental development in mice.
research Fibroblast heterogeneity: implications for human disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research Long-term renewal of hair follicles from clonogenic multipotent stem cells
Adult stem cells from rat whisker follicles can regenerate hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
