research Minoxidil: mechanisms of action on hair growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Potential Therapeutic Tool for Promoting Hair Growth
Platelet-rich plasma can potentially promote hair growth by stimulating cell growth and increasing certain proteins.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Mouse Vibrissae Follicles in Organ Culture
Minoxidil can help grow hair in mice by making cells grow and improving hair quality. More research needed.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Basic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. What endocrine systems could be implicated?
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Reduced serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with first onset vitiligo
People with first-time vitiligo have lower levels of a certain brain protein compared to healthy individuals.
research Rapid mechanosensitive migration and dispersal of newly divided mesenchymal cells aid their recruitment into dermal condensates
Newly divided skin cells quickly move to join skin structures due to tissue tension and specific signals.
research Acne Vulgaris
The document says that early treatment of Acne Vulgaris is important to prevent scarring and that adult onset acne is common in women, often due to hormonal imbalances.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Hair follicle immune privilege in autoimmune and immune-mediated alopecias: paths toward reestablishing immune tolerance
Different types of alopecia cause hair loss due to immune system issues, with some allowing regrowth and others causing permanent loss.
research T cell and bacterial microbiota interaction at intestinal and skin epithelial interfaces
T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.
research Dormant tumor cells in ret transgenic mouse melanoma model and their interaction with memory T cells
Dormant melanoma cells in mice interact minimally with memory T cells due to a suppressive tumor environment.
research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research NF-κB in biology and targeted therapy: new insights and translational implications
NF-κB signaling is crucial in many diseases and can be targeted for new treatments.
research The human keratins: biology and pathology
Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.
research Mechanisms regulating skin immunity and inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research Complications of Cushing's syndrome: state of the art
Cushing's syndrome can cause serious health problems, and early treatment is crucial, but some issues may remain after treatment.
research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
research Alopecia areata: a review of disease pathogenesis
Alopecia areata is likely an autoimmune disease with unclear triggers, involving various immune cells and molecules, and currently has no cure.
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 The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Cell death in the skin
Understanding how cells die in the skin is important for treating skin diseases and preventing hair loss.
research Extraskeletal actions of vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Epidermal Notch1 recruits RORγ+ group 3 innate lymphoid cells to orchestrate normal skin repair
Notch1 helps skin heal by attracting specific immune cells.
research Quality of Life, Burden of Disease, Co-morbidities, and Systemic Effects in Vitiligo Patients
