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 Alopecia areata: a review of disease pathogenesis
Alopecia areata is likely an autoimmune disease with unclear triggers, involving various immune cells and molecules, and currently has no cure.
research The psychosocial consequences of androgenetic alopecia: a review of the research literature
Hair loss affects self-esteem and quality of life; treatments can help.
research The effectiveness of treatments for androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy effectively treat hair loss.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Interventions for alopecia areata
Current treatments for alopecia show no significant long-term benefits.
research Metabolic risk in PCOS: phenotype and adiposity impact
Women with PCOS face higher risks of diabetes and heart disease, and these risks increase with obesity.
research HairMax LaserComb® Laser Phototherapy Device in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
HairMax LaserComb® effectively promotes hair growth and stops hair loss in males with androgenetic alopecia, with no serious side effects.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Skin CD4+ memory T cells exhibit combined cluster-mediated retention and equilibration with the circulation
Memory T cells in the skin balance staying put and moving into the blood, clustering around hair follicles, and increasing in number after infection.
research Endothelial Dysfunction in PCOS: Role of Obesity and Adipose Hormones
Women with PCOS have heart-related issues not because of obesity, but due to insulin resistance and low adiponectin levels.
research Paneth Cells in Intestinal Homeostasis and Tissue Injury
Paneth cells help support stem cells and aid tissue regeneration after injury.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Transplantation immunology: Solid organ and bone marrow
Transplant success has improved with better immunosuppressive drugs and donor matching.
research Feather arrays are patterned by interacting signalling and cell density waves
Feather patterns in birds are shaped by signaling interactions and cell movements, with EDA/EDAR crucial for pattern formation.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Dermal Adipocyte Lipolysis and Myofibroblast Conversion Are Required for Efficient Skin Repair
Fat cells in the skin help start healing and form important repair cells after injury.
research Dental cell type atlas reveals stem and differentiated cell types in mouse and human teeth
The research identified various cell types in mouse and human teeth, which could help in developing dental regenerative treatments.
research Impact of comorbidity burden on mortality in patients with COVID-19 using the Korean health insurance database
Older age and existing health conditions increase COVID-19 death risk.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome, androgen excess, and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women: A longitudinal study based on a United Kingdom primary care database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Dermatology position paper on the revision of the 1982 ACR criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus
The paper concludes that the 1982 criteria for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus need updating to improve accuracy and involve dermatologists in the process.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Comorbidities in alopecia areata: A systematic review and meta-analysis
People with alopecia areata often have other health issues like skin diseases, metabolic syndrome, stomach infections, lupus, anemia, thyroid problems, mental health issues, vitamin D deficiency, and hearing and eye problems.
research Pharmacological therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms: an overview for the practising clinician
Medications have become the main treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms, replacing surgery and watchful waiting.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
Treatments for permanent hair loss from scarring aim to stop further loss, not regrow hair, and vary by condition, with partial success common.
