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 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 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.
research 1365 Elf5, a novel regulator of skin stem/progenitor cells fate during skin development?
Elf5 is important for skin stem cell growth and could help treat skin and hair problems.
research Mitotic processes in hair follicles and the morphostructure of sheep skin upon inclusion of a water-soluble fatty acid complex into their diets
Adding a water-soluble fatty acid complex to sheep diets improves wool growth by increasing primary hair follicle size and density.
research Alemtuzumab-Induced Secondary Autoimmune Skin Disorders as Side Effects of Multiple Sclerosis Therapy: Problem That Can Be Influenced or Fate? A Narrative Overview of The Literature A Neuroprotective Role of Vitamin D?
Taking vitamin D might improve life for MS patients and reduce skin side effects from alemtuzumab treatment.
research 874 Chromatin architectural protein CTCF controls epidermal barrier formation, hair follicle fate maintenance and suppresses inflammatory responses in the skin epithelium
The protein CTCF is essential for skin development, maintaining hair follicles, and preventing inflammation.
research Cell-Free Fat Extract (Ceffe) Combined with GelMA Hydrogel to Improve the Survival Rate of Random Skin Flaps in Mice
This study investigates the use of cell-free fat extract (Ceffe) encapsulated in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel to improve the survival rate of random skin flaps in mice. Ceffe, known for its bioactive compounds, was limited by quick leakage and short effectiveness when injected directly. By encapsulating Ceffe in GelMA, the study developed a stable release system that promotes angiogenesis and flap repair, as confirmed by various assays and histological analyses. The Ceffe@GelMA system demonstrated significant pro-repair activity, enhanced pro-angiogenic potential, and favorable biocompatibility, suggesting its therapeutic efficacy in preventing flap necrosis and representing a significant advancement in clinical treatment strategies.
