Karl E. Weick suggested focusing on everyday events and smaller groups to improve organizational theory and urged the inclusion of nonobvious aspects for better explanations.
research Recent progress in PLGA-based microneedle-mediated transdermal drug and vaccine delivery
PLGA-based microneedles are promising for safe and effective skin delivery of drugs and vaccines.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
research Squalene-Containing Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Promote Percutaneous Absorption and Hair Follicle Targeting of Diphencyprone for Treating Alopecia Areata
Squalene-based carriers improve delivery of a treatment to hair follicles for alopecia areata.
research The genetics of hair shaft disorders
The article explains the genetic causes and symptoms of various hair disorders and highlights the need for more research to find treatments.
research Microneedling for the treatment of hair loss?
Microneedling can help stimulate hair growth, especially when used with other treatments, but it's not better than existing therapies.
research Medical applications of tattooing
Tattooing helps treat skin conditions, reconstruct nipple-areola, mark radiation fields, and locate lesions.
research Sequence-structure based phylogeny of GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors
The research found how GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors are related and suggested possible substances they interact with.
research Skin grafting for the treatment of chronic leg ulcers – a systematic review in evidence‐based medicine
Skin grafts are effective for chronic leg ulcers, especially autologous split-thickness grafts for venous ulcers, but more data is needed for diabetic ulcers.
research Midazolam Ameliorates the Behavior Deficits of a Rat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Model through Dual 18 kDa Translocator Protein and Central Benzodiazepine Receptor and Neurosteroidogenesis
Midazolam reduces PTSD-like behavior in rats by acting on specific brain receptors.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Treatment with and withdrawal from finasteride alter ethanol intake patterns in male C57BL/6J mice: Potential role of endogenous neurosteroids?
Finasteride affects alcohol intake in male mice, possibly due to neurosteroids.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research The Functional Diversity of Epidermal Keratins Revealed by the Partial Rescue of the Keratin 14 Null Phenotype by Keratin 16
K16 can partially replace K14 but causes hair loss and skin issues.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Susceptibility variants on chromosome 7p21.1 suggest HDAC9 as a new candidate gene for male-pattern baldness
A gene called HDAC9 might be a new factor in male-pattern baldness.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.

Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.
research Platelet-derived chemokines promote skeletal muscle regeneration by guiding neutrophil recruitment to injured muscles
Platelet-derived chemokines help muscle healing by attracting neutrophils to injured areas.
research Maternal and neonatal hair mercury concentrations: the effect of dental amalgam
Mothers and newborns with dental fillings had higher mercury in their hair, but getting fillings during pregnancy didn't raise mercury levels further.
research Premature graying of hair
Premature graying of hair may suggest health issues and currently lacks effective treatments.
research Electrophysiological mechanisms of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation of rabbit portal vein.
