research Salicylate induces epithelial actin reorganization via activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase and promotes wound healing and contraction in mice
Salicylate helps wounds heal without scarring in mice.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research ADRENAL FAILURE: WHEN ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME LEAVES SCARS
Antiphospholipid syndrome can severely damage adrenal glands, requiring early diagnosis and treatment.
research Bioassay-guided isolation of two antiproliferative metabolites from Pterocarpus indicus Willd. against TGF-β-induced prostate stromal cells (WPMY-1) proliferation via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Compounds from Pterocarpus indicus may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by stopping cell growth.
research 1317 Nicotinic acid suppresses sebaceous lipid synthesis of human sebocytes via activating hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2)
Nicotinic acid reduces excessive oil production in skin cells by activating a specific receptor, which could help treat acne.
research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants may help treat hair loss.
research 854 CCL5 affects the hair-inductive capacity of three-dimensional (3D)-cultured dermal papilla cells
CCL5 is important for the hair growth potential of human dermal papilla cells.
research The Parathyroid Hormone Second Receptor PTH2R and its Ligand Tuberoinfundibular Peptide of 39 Residues TIP39 Regulate Intracellular Calcium and Influence Keratinocyte Differentiation

research Antimicrobial peptide lysozyme has the potential to promote mouse hair follicle growth in vitro
Lysozyme might help mouse hair grow.
research Prolactin: A Mammalian Stress Hormone and Its Role in Cutaneous Pathophysiology
Prolactin affects skin health and may lead to new treatments for skin and hair issues.
research Matriptase: Potent Proteolysis on the Cell Surface
Matriptase is crucial for skin, hair, and immune cell health, and its imbalance can lead to cancer.
research BMP2-mediated PTEN enhancement promotes differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by inducing autophagy
BMP2 helps hair follicle stem cells become specialized by increasing PTEN, which causes autophagy.
research 697 Prostaglandin D2-enhanced testosterone metabolism in human keratinocytes is mediated by reactive oxygen species
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone levels in skin cells through reactive oxygen species, not enzymes, which could lead to new hair loss treatments.
