research Smad7-Induced β-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Hair follicles, their disorders and their opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research Multi-potentiality of a new immortalized epithelial stem cell line derived from human hair follicles
Scientists created a long-lasting stem cell line from human hair that can turn into different skin and hair cell types.
research The Use of Photodynamic Therapy for Treatment of Acne Vulgaris
Photodynamic Therapy is an effective treatment for mild to severe acne.
research Androgenic effect of testosterone and some of its metabolites in relation to their biotransformation in the skin.
Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.
research Morphological and morphometric study of the androgenetic alopecic scalp using two- and three-dimensional analysis comparing regional differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Identification of SLC40A1, LCN2, CREB5, and SLC7A11 as ferroptosis-related biomarkers in alopecia areata through machine learning
Four genes are potential markers for hair loss condition alopecia areata, linked to a specific type of cell death.
research Histomorphometric study of hair follicle of Assam Hill goat during preruminant, transitional and ruminant age groups
Ruminant goats have larger and more defined hair follicles than younger goats.
research Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis can cause different types of hair loss, with some patients developing permanent hair loss, and treatment may be stopped due to skin reactions.
research Gene that causes woolly hair revealed
Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause hereditary woolly hair.
research Pmg-1 and Pmg-2 constitute a novel family of KAP genes differentially expressed during skin and mammary gland development
Pmg-1 and Pmg-2 are new genes important for skin and mammary gland development.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research The stumptailed macaque as a model for baldness: effects of minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth in early baldness stages and prevents baldness in non-bald scalps.
research Follicular mucinosis associated with pregnancy
Pregnancy can trigger follicular mucinosis, which may resolve after delivery.
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 Physiologic skin changes in pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin darkening, varicose veins, more sweating, hair growth, hair loss after birth, nail changes, and gum inflammation.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Llama Dermatology
Llamas often have skin issues like mange, bacterial infections, and allergies, with some treatable by zinc.
research Non-invasive human skin transcriptome analysis using mRNA in skin surface lipids
The conclusion is that analyzing RNA from skin oils is a promising way to understand skin diseases.
research Epidermal homeostasis: a balancing act of stem cells in the skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
research Scratching the surface of skin development
The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
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 Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
