research Cerebellar Medulloblastoma: Treatment by Irradiation of the Whole Central Nervous System
Radiation therapy with a higher dose for the brain improves survival in cerebellar medulloblastoma.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
Some people with pattern hair loss may also have scalp inflammation and scarring similar to lichen planopilaris.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia—Current Insights in Pathophysiology, Diagnostics, and Management
Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
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 Sic Transit Gloria: Farewell to the Epidermal Transit Amplifying Cell?
New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair
Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research Human skin stem cells and the ageing process
Skin aging is due to impaired stem cell mobilization or fewer responsive stem cells.
research Regenerating the skin: a task for the heterogeneous stem cell pool and surrounding niche
Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.
research Morpho-Regulation of Ectodermal Organs
Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.
research Cells within the bulge region of mouse hair follicle transiently proliferate during early anagen: heterogeneity and functional differences of various hair cycles
Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Hormesis and medicine
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research Dermatologic Changes Associated With Interleukin 2 Administration
IL-2 treatment causes skin eruptions and other reversible side effects, and may play a role in psoriasis.
research Persistent Sexual Side Effects of Finasteride: Could They Be Permanent?
Finasteride may cause long-lasting sexual side effects.
research Development and homeostasis of the sebaceous gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Lichen Planopilaris Treated With a Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor γ Agonist
A specific drug can help treat Lichen Planopilaris, a condition causing permanent hair loss.
research Clinical Use of a Protein-Sparing Modified Fast
The Protein-Sparing Modified Fast is effective for rapid weight loss and maintaining it, but requires medical supervision and can have side effects.
research First use of thymus transplantation therapy for FOXN1 deficiency (nude/SCID): a report of 2 cases
Thymus transplantation successfully restored immune function in infants with FOXN1 deficiency.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Systemic Steroids With or Without 2% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Steroids help hair regrowth, and minoxidil slows post-steroid hair loss, but effects are temporary.
research ς1Receptor-Related Neuroactive Steroids Modulate Cocaine-Induced Reward
Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the ς1 receptor.
research Management of primary cicatricial alopecias: options for treatment
There are many treatments for permanent hair loss disorders, but their effectiveness varies and there's no clear best option.
research Characterization of a Cluster of Human High/Ultrahigh Sulfur Keratin-associated Protein Genes Embedded in the Type I Keratin Gene Domain on Chromosome 17q12-21
A cluster of sulfur-rich hair protein genes was found on chromosome 17.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration Using Grafted Rodent and Human Cells
Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
research Minoxidil: a review of its pharmacological properties and therapeutic use.
Minoxidil effectively treats severe hypertension but may cause side effects, so careful monitoring is needed.
research Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in tissue injury: roles in pathology and therapeutic opportunities for regeneration
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway helps tissue regeneration but can also cause fibrosis, and drugs that inhibit this pathway may aid in healing skin and heart tissues.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Finasteride

research Molecular signaling in feather morphogenesis
Feather growth and regeneration involve complex patterns, stem cells, and evolutionary insights.
