research Do men’s faces really signal heritable immunocompetence?
Masculine facial features may not reliably indicate heritable health, and more research is needed.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Effects of Turmeric (Curcuma longa ) on Skin Health: A Systematic Review of the Clinical Evidence
Turmeric may have benefits for skin health, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
research Facial feminization surgery: current state of the art
Facial feminization surgery is effective in helping transgender women appear more feminine and has high patient satisfaction.
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 Probiotic Bacteria Induce a ‘Glow of Health’
Probiotic bacteria improved skin and hair health in aged mice.
research Patient factors influencing dermal filler complications: prevention, assessment, and treatment
Choosing the right patients, using proper techniques, and having thorough knowledge are key to preventing and managing dermal filler complications.
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 A Simple Screening Approach for Assessing Community Prevalence and Phenotype of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in a Semiurban Population in Sri Lanka
A simple screening method found that 6.3% of women in a semiurban area in Sri Lanka have polycystic ovary syndrome, with most showing menstrual irregularities.
research Local circadian clock gates cell cycle progression of transient amplifying cells during regenerative hair cycling
Hair grows faster in the morning and is more vulnerable to damage from radiation due to the internal clock in hair follicle cells.
research Genome-wide association study in frontal fibrosing alopecia identifies four susceptibility loci including HLA-B*07:02
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is linked to four genetic areas, especially the HLA-B*07:02 allele.
research Biochemical Testing of the Thyroid: TSH is the Best and, Oftentimes, Only Test Needed – A Review for Primary Care
TSH is usually the only test needed to check thyroid function in primary care.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome, androgen excess, and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women: A longitudinal study based on a United Kingdom primary care database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Single-cell analysis of murine fibroblasts identifies neonatal to adult switching that regulates cardiomyocyte maturation
Adult fibroblasts help heart cells mature and improve heart function.
research Liposomes in cosmeceutics
Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Urinary Retention in Patients with BPH Treated with Finasteride or Placebo over 4 Years
Finasteride lowers risk of urinary issues and surgery by over 50% in 4 years.
research A History of Drug Advertising: The Evolving Roles of Consumers and Consumer Protection
Drug advertising has greatly increased, changing consumer behavior and raising concerns about its influence on healthcare and patient protection.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Skin biopsy
Correct skin biopsy techniques are crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of skin diseases.
research Identification and molecular characterization of a new ovarian cancer susceptibility locus at 17q21.31
A new genetic region, 17q21.31, is linked to higher ovarian cancer risk.
research Therapeutic anti-inflammatory potential of formyl-peptide receptor agonists
Formyl-peptide receptor agonists could be new anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Fullerene nanoparticle in dermatological and cosmetic applications
Fullerenes show potential in skin care but need more safety research.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men treated best with early medication or transplant, new treatments researched.
research Enhanced ectodysplasin-A receptor (EDAR) signaling alters multiple fiber characteristics to produce the East Asian hair form
A genetic change in the EDAR gene causes the unique hair traits found in East Asians.
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 Variant PADI3 in Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Mutations in the PADI3 gene are linked to a higher risk of scarring hair loss in women of African descent.
research Melanocytes: The new Black
Melanocytes are crucial for skin pigmentation and can affect conditions like melanoma, vitiligo, and albinism, as well as hair color and hearing.
