research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Gene Expression of Mouse S100A3, a Cysteine-Rich Calcium-Binding Protein, in Developing Hair Follicle
S100A3 protein is crucial for hair shaft formation in mice.
research Thyroid Hormone and Wound Healing
Thyroid hormone may speed up wound healing and hair growth, but more research is needed to understand its role in skin repair and use as a treatment.
research Protein disulphide isomerase-mediated grafting of cysteine-containing peptides onto over-bleached hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Development, formulation, and characterization of an adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticle dispersion for follicular penetration
Researchers created a skin treatment that could effectively deliver medication into hair follicles.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research The Expression of Vitamin D-Upregulated Protein 1 in Skin and its Interaction with Sciellin in Cultured Keratinocytes
VDUP1 is found in skin and hair follicles, interacts with sciellin, and may help regulate skin cell differentiation.
research Structural and biochemical changes underlying a keratoderma-like phenotype in mice lacking suprabasal AP1 transcription factor function
Inhibiting AP1 in mice skin causes structural changes and weakens the skin barrier.
research Can dermal delivery of therapeutics be improved using thermoresponsive nanogels?
Thermoresponsive nanogels show promise for delivering medicine through the skin but need more safety testing and regulatory approval before clinical use.
research Acute sensitivity of the oral mucosa to oncogenic K‐ras
Oncogenic K-ras causes rapid cancerous changes in the mouth's lining.
research Effects of Food-Derived Collagen Peptides on the Expression of Keratin and Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in the Mouse Skin

research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
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 Toll-like Receptor 3 Agonist, Polyinosinic-polycytidylic Acid, Upregulates Carbonic Anhydrase II in Human Keratinocytes
A substance called poly(I:C) increases a protein called carbonic anhydrase II in skin cells, which might help with skin defense and healing.
research Growth factors IGF-1 and KGF and adipose-derived stem cells promote migration and viability of primary human keratinocytes in an in vitro wound model
IGF-1, KGF, and stem cells help skin cells move and survive, potentially speeding up wound healing.
research Ultrastructural immunolocalization of involucrin in the medulla and inner root sheath of the human hair
Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Molecular elements of the regulatory control of keratin filament modulator AHF/trichohyalin in the hair follicle
The study concluded that a protein important for hair strength is regulated by certain molecular processes and is affected by growth phases.
research Computational derivation of a molecular framework for hair follicle biology from disease genes
The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.
research Corneodesmosin: Structure, Function and Involvement in Pathophysiology
Corneodesmosin is essential for skin and hair health, and its dysfunction can lead to skin and hair disorders.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III, Trichohyalin and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Infant Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicle
Trichohyalin and peptidylarginine deiminase type III are found together in rat hair follicles, with trichohyalin being modified after expression.
research A proprietary herbal extract against hair loss in androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium: a placebo-controlled, single-blind, clinical-instrumental study
The herbal extract was found to effectively reduce and prevent hair loss without any side effects.
