research Volatile signalling by sesquiterpenes from ectomycorrhizal fungi reprogrammes root architecture
Fungi-produced compounds can change plant root growth.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research Toxic Side Effects of Targeted Therapies and Immunotherapies Affecting the Skin, Oral Mucosa, Hair, and Nails
Cancer treatments targeting specific cells and the immune system can cause skin, mouth, hair, and nail problems, affecting patients' quality of life and treatment adherence.
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 Demodicosis and rosacea: Epidemiology and significance in daily dermatologic practice
Demodicosis is common and often missed, needing more recognition and treatment in skin care.
research Safety of dermatologic medications in pregnancy and lactation
Some skin medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but others can harm the baby and should be avoided.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research Gender differences in skin: A review of the literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research Age-associated inflammation inhibits epidermal stem cell function
Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
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 Signaling in the stem cell niche: regulating cell fate, function and plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Shh maintains dermal papilla identity and hair morphogenesis via a Noggin–Shh regulatory loop
Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.
research EEMCO Guidance for the in vivo Assessment of Skin Greasiness
The document recommends using both clinical evaluation and various measurement methods to assess skin greasiness, considering factors like temperature and hormones.
research Stem cell dynamics in the hair follicle niche
Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
research Regenerating the skin: a task for the heterogeneous stem cell pool and surrounding niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Adipose Tissue in Clinical Applications for Dermatological Indications and Skin Aging
Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.
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 Obesity and the skin
Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.
research Human Scalp Hair Follicles Are Both a Target and a Source of Prolactin, which Serves as an Autocrine and/or Paracrine Promoter of Apoptosis-Driven Hair Follicle Regression
Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.
research The Circadian Clock in Skin
The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
research From causes of aging to death from COVID-19
Older age and related diseases increase COVID-19 risk, but anti-aging treatments might help.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Pharmacological evidences for the extracts and secondary metabolites from plants of the genus Hibiscus
Hibiscus plant extracts may have health benefits like lowering blood pressure and protecting the heart.
research Potassium channel openers: pharmacological and clinical aspects
Potassium channel openers could help treat cardiovascular diseases and asthma but require better targeting to specific tissues for effective use.
research Epithelial Skin Biology
