540-570 / 1000+ resultsresearch The human hair follicle has established a fully functional peripheral equivalent of the hypothamalic‐pituitary‐adrenal‐axis (HPA)
Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
Microstimulation of certain facial and mouth nerves can evoke specific sensations, while deeper nerves may require multiple stimulations to affect perception.
research Immunological aspects of psychodermatology
The skin plays a key role in immune responses and reflects emotional and stress reactions.
research The effect of changes in temperature on peripheral blood flow in systemic sclerosis
Warming hands improves blood flow in people with systemic sclerosis.
research Corticotropin releasing hormone and the skin
CRH in the skin acts like the body's stress response system, affecting cell behavior and immune activity.
research Overexpression of neurotrophin 4 in skin enhances myelinated sensory endings but does not influence sensory neuron number
Increasing neurotrophin 4 in skin boosts nerve endings but not sensory neuron count.
research Endocrine systems of the skin
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.
research Expression of Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Thyroid Axis RelatedGenes in the Human Skin
Thyroid-related genes are active in skin cells and may affect autoimmune conditions.
research Empathic disequilibrium is related to lower levels of hair oxytocin in humans
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Knismesis: the aversive facet of tickle
Light tickling can be unpleasant and may feel worse for individuals with autism.
research A simple immunofluorescence technique for simultaneous visualization of mast cells and nerve fibers reveals selectivity and hair cycle - dependent changes in mast cell - nerve fiber contacts in murine skin
Mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin change with the hair cycle.
research Comparison of brain functional response to mechanical prickling stimuli to the glabrous and hairy skin
Hairy skin feels prickling more intensely than smooth skin.
research Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.
research Melatonin induces a stimulatory action on the scrotal skin components of Soay ram in the non-breeding season
Melatonin stimulates the skin components of ram's scrotum during their non-breeding season.
research Combined Systemic and Cutaneous Ovalbumin–Aluminum Sensitization Triggers Thermal Hyperalgesia, Spinal Gliosis, and Nociceptive Nerve Fibers Sprouting in Mice
Ovalbumin–aluminum sensitization causes increased pain sensitivity and nerve changes in mice.
research 898 Homeostatic activation of epidermal HSD11b1 affects skin innervation and non-histaminergic itch
HSD11b1 affects skin nerves and increases non-histaminergic itch.
research The Skin POMC System (SPS): Leads and Lessons from the Hair Follicle
The Skin POMC System affects hair growth and skin responses to stress.
research Brain–skin connection: The contemporary perspective through neuroendocrinology
Stress can affect skin and hair health through hormones.
research Mast cell-5-HT-HTR2A axis involvement in chronic itch induced by SADBE
Targeting the MC-5-HT-HTR2A axis may help treat chronic itching.
research Cutaneous neuroimmunology – lessons from the hair follicle
Stress and certain chemicals affect hair growth by interacting with the immune and nervous systems.
research [Peptidergic innervation in the sinus hair follicles of several mammalian species].
Sinus hair follicles in mammals have different nerve fiber types with species-specific patterns, especially in cats.
research Long-Term Treatment of Refractory Hypertensive Patients With Minoxidil
Minoxidil controls blood pressure but may cause kidney damage and needs diuretics to prevent swelling.
research 1338 Dermal Wnt/β-catenin activation tunably controls hair follicle initiation
Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
research 1336 The de novo DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A is required for epidermal homeostasis
DNMT3A is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research 442 Deciphering the role of keloid fibroblasts in itch
Keloid fibroblasts cause itch and pain by releasing more histamine.
research Increased acetylcholine levels in skin biopsies of patients with atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis patients have much higher acetylcholine levels in their skin, which may cause itching.
