research Iron Deficiency in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases: A Missing Link Between Systemic Inflammation, Immunometabolism, and Disease Burden
Iron deficiency worsens inflammatory skin diseases by disrupting iron balance and increasing inflammation.
research A genetic electrophoretic variant of high-sulfur hair proteins for forensic hair comparisons. II. Practical application of electrophoretic analysis of hair protein to forensic hair comparisons.
Electrophoresis can effectively analyze hair proteins for forensic use, even after cosmetic treatments and up to 2 years of weathering.
research Obesity resistance of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-deficient (scd1 -/-) mouse results from disruption of the epidermal lipid barrier and adaptive thermoregulation
Deleting the scd1 gene in mice prevents obesity by disrupting skin lipids and improving heat regulation.
research Structural Stability of Wild Type and Mutated α-Keratin Fragments: Molecular Dynamics and Free Energy Calculations
The Glu413Lys mutation in keratin affects hair stability, while Glu413Asp does not.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Bioactive Compounds from the Roots of Asiasarum heterotropoides
Two compounds from Asiasarum heterotropoides roots show potential as lung cancer treatments without harming normal cells.
research NUDT15 polymorphism explains serious toxicity to azathioprine in Indian patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia: a case series
The NUDT15 gene variant causes severe side effects from azathioprine in some Indian patients.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Synthesis and structure–activity investigation of iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins for development as androgen receptor radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Extraction and Detection of mRNA from Horsehair
RNA can be extracted from horsehair roots for analysis.
research Alternative synthesis of the anti-baldness compound RU58841
A new, less toxic and more efficient method to create the anti-baldness compound RU58841 was developed in 2014.
research Urinary 5-ene-steroid excretion in non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (NC-3BHSD)
Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.
research Recombinant Goat VEGF164 Increases Hair Growth by Painting Process on the Skin of Shaved Mouse
Recombinant goat VEGF164 speeds up hair growth in mice.
research Impact of acid straightener's pH value in the hair fiber properties
Lower pH straighteners change hair more but weaken it.
research Soil, grain and water chemistry and human selenium imbalances in Enshi district, Hubei Province, China
Selenium levels in Enshi District need careful monitoring to prevent health issues.
research The circulating dihydrotestosterone/testosterone ratio is increased by gut microbial 5α-reductase activity in females
Women have a higher DHT/testosterone ratio than men, possibly due to gut bacteria activity.
research Protective effect of conditioning agents on Afro‐ethnic hair chemically treated with thioglycolate‐based straightening emulsion
Conditioning agents, especially jojoba oil and lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 methicone, protect and strengthen chemically straightened Afro-ethnic hair.
research Improved two‐dimensional electrophoretic mapping of Japanese human hair proteins; application to curved and straight Japanese human hairs; and protein identification by MALDI MS and MS/MS quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
The study found that minor protein differences between curved and straight Japanese hair are unlikely to significantly affect hair structure.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Evaluation of Signs of Skin Aging in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome after Substitution Therapy with Antioxidants. Summary of the Doctoral Thesis
Antioxidant therapy, especially with selenium, can improve skin aging in patients with Metabolic Syndrome.
research 517 Regulation of the lipidome and lipid metabolism in prematurely senescent human dermal fibroblasts
Aging skin cells change their lipid profiles due to stress, affecting skin health.
research Overexpression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase under the control of mouse metallothionein I promoter in transgenic mice: evidence for a striking post-transcriptional regulation of transgene expression by a polyamine analogue
Overexpressing SSAT in mice makes them highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, causing liver damage and high mortality.
research DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair
Chemical treatments weaken hair's thermal stability and structure.
research Biochemistry of skin in health and disease
Carruthers' work advances understanding of skin biochemistry but needs clearer interpretation and more discussion on certain topics.
research Comparison of Activities Dependent on Glutathione S-Transferase and Cytochrome P-450 IA1 in Cultured Keratinocytes and Reconstructed Epidermal Models
Reconstructed skin models are useful for studying how skin processes certain chemicals.
research Differential structural properties and expression patterns suggest functional significance for multiple mouse desmoglein 1 isoforms
Multiple mouse desmoglein 1 isoforms have distinct roles in skin and hair development.
