research Consumption of fish oil high-fat diet induces murine hair loss via epidermal fatty acid binding protein in skin macrophages
Eating a high-fat fish oil diet caused mice to lose hair due to a specific immune cell activity in the skin linked to a protein called E-FABP.
research The Fate of Epidermal Tight Junctions in the stratum corneum: Their Involvement in the Regulation of Desquamation and Phenotypic Expression of Certain Skin Conditions
Tight junctions help control skin shedding and may be targets for treating certain skin conditions.
research The fatty acids and the skin: a focus on the n-6 family of unsaturated fatty acids
Linoleic acid is important for healthy skin, and while most people get enough from their diet, not having enough can cause skin and hair problems.
research Gut Microbiota Shapes the Effects of Saturated and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Skin and Hair Follicle Homeostasis
Gut microbes influence how different fats affect skin and hair health.
research The high-polarity fraction of tail fat derived from Lanzhou Fat-Tailed sheep enhances skin wound healing through the regulation of inflammatory factors and the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway
Tail fat from Lanzhou Fat-Tailed sheep helps heal skin wounds by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue repair.
research The Safety and Efficacy of Processed Fat, Adipose-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Fat Grafting: Clinical Implications for Aesthetic Facial Volume/Skin Rejuvenation and Hair Stimulation
Processed fat, SVF, and PRP are safe and effective for facial rejuvenation and hair growth.
research States and Fates of Skin Fibroblasts Revealed through Chromatin Accessibility
Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
research Evaluation of the Topical use of Essential Fatty Acids in Rabbits with Skin Disorders
The document does not determine if essential fatty acids improve rabbit skin health.
research The fatty acids and the skin: a focus on the n-6 family of unsaturated fatty acids
Linoleic acid is essential for healthy skin, and while deficiency is rare in Western societies, it can cause dry, scaly skin and hair loss.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Severe Skin Permeability Barrier Dysfunction in Knockout Mice Deficient in a Fatty Acid ω-Hydroxylase Crucial to Acylceramide Production
Lack of a key enzyme causes severe skin issues and death in mice.
research Tracing the Change and Contribution of Subcutaneous Adipose to Skin Expansion Using a Luciferase-Transgenic Fat Transplantation Model
Adipose tissue helps skin expand by increasing blood vessels and cell growth.
research The Suppression of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Is Associated with Skin Carcinogenesis
Suppressing very long chain fatty acids is linked to skin cancer.
research Effects of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids on skin health， hair quality， and feeding behavior in adult Bichon Frises
600 mg/kg Omega-3 improves skin, hair, feeding, and metabolic health in Bichon Frises.
research Mimicking fat grafting of fibrotic scars using 3D‐organotypic skin cultures
Fat grafting reduces scar fibrosis but may slow skin healing.
research Effect of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and related nutrients on sebum lipids, and skin and hair coat condition in canines
Diet B improved dogs' skin and hair condition.
research Decision letter: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
Skin cells can naturally limit the growth of cancerous changes by balancing cell renewal and differentiation.
research 1330 Flexible fate determination ensures robust differentiation in the skin hair follicle
Hair follicle stem cells can change their role to ensure proper hair development.
research Retinoic acids shift skin stem cell fate
Retinoic acids temporarily change skin stem cells to a slower cycle and more differentiated state.
research GDNF neurotrophic factor signaling determines the fate of dermal fibroblasts in wound‐induced hair neogenesis and skin regeneration
GDNF signaling helps in hair growth and skin healing after a wound.
research QUALITATIVE PATIENT INTERVIEW STUDY IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS TO ASSESS PATIENT PERCEPTION OF FATIGUE AND SKIN-RELATED SYMPTOMS
People with lupus find fatigue and skin issues very bothersome, and even small improvements are meaningful.
research Author response: Interplay of opposing fate choices stalls oncogenic growth in murine skin epithelium
The balance between cell renewal and differentiation controls the growth of cancerous cells in mouse skin.
research Transient agonism of the sonic hedgehog pathway triggers a permanent transition of skin appendage fate in the chicken embryo
Activating the sonic hedgehog pathway in chicken embryos can permanently change scales to feathers.
research 2063-LB: Transgenic Erythropoietin Overexpression Inhibits Dermal Fat Formation and HIF1a in the Skin and Causes Telogen Effluvium in Mouse Pups during the First Hair Cycle
Erythropoietin overexpression disrupts hair growth and fat formation in mice.
