New treatments targeting the Hedgehog pathway can help treat advanced skin cancer but may have side effects and their effectiveness in early stages is unknown.
research Human skin
Estrogen deficiency, like after menopause or certain surgeries, leads to faster skin aging and health issues.
research Solitary Keratoacanthoma of the Scalp: A Case Report
Surgical removal of a scalp keratoacanthoma is effective and prevents recurrence, but hair may not regrow.
research Beta-caryophyllene enhances wound healing through multiple routes
Beta-caryophyllene helps improve wound healing in mice, especially in females.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Heterogeneity of neural crest-derived melanocytes
Melanocytes are diverse cells important for pigmentation and skin health, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research The ITGB6 gene: its role in experimental and clinical biology
The ITGB6 gene is important for tissue repair and hair growth, and mutations can lead to enamel defects and other health issues.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Alternative Therapies for Vitiligo
Some alternative therapies for vitiligo show promise but need more research.
research Subtle Trichilemmal Carcinoma of Neck Initially Misdiagnosed as Benign Cyst and Ultimately Treated with Mohs Micrographic Surgery
A neck lesion misdiagnosed as benign was later treated successfully with Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
research 633 Low-level pulsed wave red light induces type I procollagen protein and ATP production at shorter treatment times as compared to continuous wave red light
Pulsed red light boosts collagen and energy in cells faster than continuous red light.
research Managing the hair and skin of African American pediatric patients
The document emphasizes the need for primary care providers to understand and care for African American children's hair and skin to boost their self-esteem.
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 Age-associated inflammation connects RAS-induced senescence to stem cell dysfunction and epidermal malignancy
Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
research Field Cancerization: From Molecular Basis to Selective Field-Directed Management of Actinic Keratosis
Photodynamic therapy is the preferred treatment for skin precancer due to its effectiveness and safety.
research The efficacy of a photolyase-based device on the cancerization field: a clinical and thermographic study
The photolyase-based device significantly changed the size and heat of potential skin cancer areas in patients.
research Linear lichen planus pigmentosus of the face with histological findings of lichen planopilaris - an uncommon variant of lichen planus
A unique case showed a rare combination of two types of lichen planus on the face.
research Staining of human skin with RGB trichrome unveils a proteoglycan-enriched zone in the hair dermal sheath
A new staining method shows a special area in the hair's skin layer with lots of proteoglycans.
research Benign Cutaneous Eruptions After Transplantation
Transplant patients often get skin problems, with treatments varying by condition.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
