research Dermoscopy and Ultraviolet-Enhanced Fluorescence Dermoscopy (UEFD) Increase the Accuracy of Diagnosis and Are Useful in Assessing the Effectiveness of Kerion celsi Treatment
Advanced dermoscopy techniques improve diagnosis and treatment monitoring for Kerion celsi but don't guarantee full hair regrowth.
research Prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia
The document suggests more research is needed to understand the link between baldness and prostate cancer.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Extracellular vesicles from adipose-derived stem cells ameliorate ultraviolet B-induced skin photoaging by attenuating reactive oxygen species production and inflammation
Stem cell vesicles can reduce skin aging from UVB by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
research Skin disease in pregnancy
Some skin conditions are common during pregnancy and can be safely treated without affecting the pregnancy outcome.
research New developments in occupational dermatology
Germany recognizes skin cancer from UV exposure as an occupational disease, emphasizing prevention and care for affected workers.
research Male pattern baldness and risk of incident skin cancer in a cohort of men
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research Emerging Nonsteroid-Based Procedural Therapies for Alopecia Areata: A Systematic Review
Nonsteroid treatments for alopecia areata show promise but need more high-quality research.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Caffeine and Its Pharmacological Benefits in the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Caffeine improves hair growth, thickness, and reduces shedding.
research Hair(y) Matters in Melanoma Biology
The document concludes that the immune-inhibitory environment of the hair follicle may prevent melanoma development.
research Premature greying of hair among the population of King Faisal University in Al-Ahasa, Saudi Arabia: an epidemiological study
Premature greying of hair is common among young people at King Faisal University, especially females, and is linked to health issues, lifestyle, and family history.
research The Scientific Legacy of Stephen Rothman
Stephen Rothman made important discoveries in dermatology, including the use of PABA in sunscreens, but never profited from his work.
research Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Vitiligo
Eat antioxidant-rich foods, reduce fast food, and explore various treatments for vitiligo.
research Repigmentation by combined narrow‑band ultraviolet B/adipose‑derived stem cell transplantation in the mouse model: Role of Nrf2/HO‑1‑mediated Ca2+ homeostasis
Combining narrow-band ultraviolet B light and stem cell transplantation helps repigmentation in vitiligo by maintaining calcium balance in mice.
research Raman investigation of in vivo radiation exposure on melanin in murine hair
Raman spectroscopy can detect radiation exposure in mouse hair with high accuracy for up to 7 days.
research Dermatology and Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin changes and affect existing skin conditions, with limited treatment options due to the need for fetal safety.
research Photoprotective Effects of Caffeic Acid against Ultraviolet-induced Damages on Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Caffeic acid protects human scalp cells from UV damage.
research Melanocytes and Vitiligo (and Hair Graying)
Melanocytes produce melanin; their defects cause vitiligo and hair graying, with treatments available for vitiligo.
research Management of autoimmune associated alopecia areata
Treatments for autoimmune hair loss have limited success and patients need emotional support and self-acceptance.
research Comparison of MMP1 gene expression and collagen percentage in response to polydioxanone, poly-L-lactic acid and polycaprolactone thread implantation in ageing rat skin
PDO, PLLA, and PCL threads increase collagen in ageing skin but don't change MMP1 gene expression.
research Ultraviolet‐induced red fluorescence in androgenetic alopecia—indicating alterations in microbial composition
Red fluorescence in AGA scalps is linked to different microbes.
research Dermal niche signaling and epidermal stem cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research Discoid Lupus Erythematosus
Discoid Lupus Erythematosus often causes scarring hair loss, is influenced by genetics and environment, and requires early treatment to prevent worsening.
research Clinical Signs of Hair Damage
Hair damage shows as fragility, dullness, and discoloration, varies by ethnicity, and is worsened by cosmetic procedures and diseases.
