The study suggests that higher levels of SIRT1 and SIRT2 may improve overall cell health and aging processes.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research 4-hydroxynonenal, a lipid peroxidation product, inhibits glutathione peroxidase: Protective effect of glutathione
Selenium is crucial for health, but both deficiency and excess can cause problems.
research Roles of steroid sulfatase in brain and other tissues
Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.
research Author response: Structural basis of malodour precursor transport in the human axilla
The transporter protein SH1446 in Staphylococcus hominis is key to underarm odor production.

Certain zinc transporters are essential for healthy skin and managing zinc in the body could help treat skin problems.
research SCD1 Sustains Homeostasis of Bulge Niche via Maintaining Hemidesmosomes in Basal Keratinocytes
SCD1 is important for hair growth by keeping the connection in skin cells where hair stem cells live stable.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Commensal microbe regulation of skin cells in disease
research Dissecting hair breakage in alopecia areata: the central role of dysregulated cysteine homeostasis
Disrupted cysteine metabolism may cause hair breakage in Alopecia Areata, suggesting potential treatments like N-acetylcysteine.
research Sonic Hedgehog signalling in the regulation of barrier tissue homeostasis and inflammation
Sonic Hedgehog helps keep skin and airway barriers healthy and reduces inflammation.
research Effect of disulfide bonds in human hair fibers on the melting behavior of their crystalline structure
Disulfide bonds affect the melting behavior of hair's crystalline structure, but hair retains some stability even after these bonds are broken.
research Protein S-Palmitoylation as Potential Therapeutic Target for Dermatoses
Targeting protein S-palmitoylation could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Trans glutaminase-mediated cross-linking in mammalian epidermis
research Modification of the immune system with hydrogen sulfide and cyclosporine A
Age-related immune changes significantly affect disease development in other systems.
research Decision letter: Structural basis of malodour precursor transport in the human axilla
The study identified a key protein involved in producing underarm odor and found ways to inhibit it.
research Role of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase-1 in Skin Integrity and Whole Body Energy Balance
SCD1 is crucial for skin health and overall energy balance.
research A detailed mapping of the readily accessible disulphide bonds in the cortex of wool fibres
Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.
research 1331 Glutathione (GSH) distribution by quantitative MALDI imaging in reconstructed human skin upon activation of GSH biosynthesis by Nrf2 pathway activator
Resveratrol activates the Nrf2 pathway in human skin, significantly increasing the production and distribution of the antioxidant glutathione.

A new genetic region, 17q21.31, is linked to higher ovarian cancer risk.
research Immunoregulatory Effects of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell Exosomes in Mouse Model of Autoimmune Alopecia Areata
MDSC-Exo can treat autoimmune alopecia areata and promote hair regrowth in mice.
research Clearance of ichthyosis linearis circumflexa with balneophototherapy
Balneophototherapy effectively treats ichthyosis linearis circumflexa but may need ongoing treatment due to short remission.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research The Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Review
Hormone imbalance is linked to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a skin condition, and treatments like anti-androgenic therapy and metformin can help. It's also suggested to check patients for insulin resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
