120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch The sebaceous gland revisited: Friend and adversary
Sebaceous glands help protect and maintain healthy skin and hair.
research Sebaceous Gland Regeneration in Human Skin Xenografts
Human sebaceous glands can grow back in skin grafts on mice and work like normal human glands.
research Gate keeping the sebaceous gland
The research found that specific stem cells maintain skin gland openings and that disrupting their activity can cause blockages or early cancer signs, indicating a need for targeted treatments.
research 1373 Specific in vivo ablation of Lrig1-positive follicular stem cells results in sebaceous gland loss in mice
Removing Lrig1-positive stem cells in mice causes temporary loss of sebaceous glands.
research Changes in the sebaceous gland in patients with male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia)
Sebaceous glands in male pattern hair loss patients have more lobules and might cause early hair growth phase shifts.
research Alarm reaction of pilosebaceous apparatus
The hair and oil glands react by changing structure when stressed.
research Changes in the sebaceous gland in patients with male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia )
research “Sebocytes’ makeup” - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Loss of keratin 10 is accompanied by increased sebocyte proliferation and differentiation
Without keratin 10, there's more growth and development of oil-producing skin cells.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Normal Fur Development and Sebum Production Depends on Fatty Acid 2-Hydroxylase Expression in Sebaceous Glands
FA2H is essential for normal fur and sebum production in mice.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Comparative Characterization of Human Meibomian Glands, Free Sebaceous Glands, and Hair-Associated Sebaceous Glands Based on Biomarkers, Analysis of Secretion Composition, and Gland Morphology
Meibomian glands are highly specialized and differ significantly from other sebaceous glands in structure and function.
research Atrichia and Papular Lesions: Report of a Case
A 4-year-old girl has a rare condition causing hairlessness and skin bumps, but normal teeth and sweating.
research The Human Sebocyte Culture Model Provides New Insights into Development and Management of Seborrhoea and Acne
The human sebocyte culture model has improved understanding of oily skin and acne, and how they can be treated.
research Trichoblastoma with sebaceous and sweat gland differentiation
A rare benign skin tumor showed unusual features of sebaceous and sweat glands, important for correct diagnosis.
research Unusual Eyelid Dermal Keratinous Cysts of Pilosebaceous Origin
Two new types of eyelid cysts were identified, each with different treatment challenges.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Genetically modified laboratory mice with sebaceous glands abnormalities
Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.
research 1405 Cellular and molecular characterization of sebaceous gland self-renewal and regeneration following complete genetic ablation
The research found that a protein called PPARg is important for the formation and healing of sebaceous glands, which can regenerate independently from hair follicles.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
research Importance of Sebaceous Glands in Cutaneous Penetration of an Antiandrogen: Target Effect of Liposomes
Sebaceous glands in the skin play a key role in absorbing the antiandrogen drug RU 58841, especially when it's encapsulated in liposomes.
research Are the Meibomian glands “hair follicles without a hair shaft” ?
Meibomian glands are like hair follicles without a hair shaft.
research 332 Generation of a gene expression signature for sebaceous glands by transcriptome comparison of psoriasis and sebaceous hyperplasia
Sebaceous gland atrophy and abnormal function may contribute to hair loss in psoriasis.
research A cross-sectional observational study showing sebaceous glands differences between psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata
Sebaceous gland maturity and size differ between psoriatic alopecia and alopecia areata.
research 1434 Epithelially derived MPZL3 negatively regulates murine and human sebaceous gland size and sebocyte proliferation
MPZL3 protein helps control the size of oil glands and the growth of oil-producing cells in both mice and humans.
research Adiponectin Signaling Regulates Lipid Production in Human Sebocytes
Adiponectin boosts lipid production in skin cells, potentially helping treat skin conditions with low sebum.
research Inactivation of autophagy leads to changes in sebaceous gland morphology and function
Autophagy is crucial for normal sebaceous gland function and sebum composition.
research Scalp Sebaceous Physiology
The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.
