research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research 144 Deciphering the role of the hexosamine pathway in skin homeostasis
The hexosamine pathway helps protect skin cells from stress and may improve skin and hair health.
research Plaque Psoriasis Formation and Body Hair (Re)Growth: A Common Pathway Activation?
Psoriasis treatment may affect body hair growth, with a complex relationship between skin and hair growth mechanisms.
research Finasteride-related cutaneous vaculitis.
Finasteride linked to skin inflammation.
research Alopecia areata incognita: a comment
The author clarified that Alopecia Areata Incognita (AAI) and diffuse Alopecia Areata (AA) are different conditions and the case discussed was actually AA, not AAI.
research Development of a Two-Dimensional Model for Predicting Transdermal Permeation with the Follicular Pathway: Demonstration with a Caffeine Study
Researchers developed a model that shows hair follicles increase skin absorption of caffeine by 20%.
research Epidermal keratinocyte stem cells: their maintenance and regulation
Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
research Distinctive histopathologic findings in linear morphea (en coup de sabre) alopecia
The study found unique skin changes in a rare type of alopecia linked to a skin condition called linear morphea.
research Hair Follicle Targeting with Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles can be used to deliver drugs to hair follicles, potentially improving treatments for conditions like acne and alopecia, and could also be used for vaccine delivery and gene therapy.
research Combined Ultrasound and Microneedle for Enhanced Transdermal Delivery: Synergistic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances
Combining ultrasound and microneedles improves drug delivery through the skin.
research 878 Individual variation in balance between platelet-secreted growth factors causing contradictory effects on hair follicle could potentially impact response to PRP therapy in patients with scalp hair loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research 876 Imaging nanoscale changes in desmosome protein organization
Desmoglein 3 organization in cell connections changes without calcium, affecting cell adhesion.
research 879 IL-9 mediated human primary keratinocytes invasion is dependent on MLC controlled contractility and independent of MMP activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research 877 Integration of magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy for exploring the mechanobiology of keratinocyte cell-cell and cell-matrix anchoring junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research 874 Elevated expression of osteopontin splice variants in nonmelanoma skin cancer compared to normal skin and adult keratinocytes
Nonmelanoma skin cancers have higher levels of certain osteopontin variants than normal skin.
research Changing faces: can a new identity stop balding?
Changing hair follicle identity could potentially reverse balding.
research Analysis of Gene Expression in Isolated Single Hair Follicles: An Approach Using Semiquantitative Reverse-Transcriptase—Polymerase Chain Reaction
Researchers developed a new way to measure gene activity in single hair follicles and found that a specific gene's activity changes with different amounts and times of treatment.
research MicroRNA control of signal transduction
MicroRNAs are crucial in controlling cell signaling, affecting cancer and tissue regeneration.
research Videodermoscopy Scalp Psoriasis Severity Index (VSCAPSI): A useful tool for evaluation of scalp psoriasis
The VSCAPSI is a helpful method for evaluating the severity of scalp psoriasis.
research Are sex discordant outcomes in COVID-19 related to sex hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Tinea capitis mimicking dissecting cellulitis of the scalp: a histopathologic pitfall when evaluating alopecia in the post‐pubertal patient
A fungal infection can look like a different scalp condition in teens, leading to wrong treatment until proper tests are done.
research The novel mechanisms and applications of exosomes in dermatology and cutaneous medical aesthetics
Exosomes can improve skin health and offer new treatments for skin repair and rejuvenation.
research Contribution of the Hair Follicular Pathway to Total Skin Permeation of Topically Applied and Exposed Chemicals
The hair follicle pathway significantly affects how easily water-loving chemicals pass through the skin.
research Optimization of menthol-loaded nanocapsules for skin application using the response surface methodology
Researchers created better skin-application menthol capsules that are stable, safe, and penetrate the skin quickly.
research Physical methods for topical skin drug delivery: concepts and applications
New physical methods like electrical currents, ultrasound, and microneedles show promise for improving drug delivery through the skin.
research Cosmetic devices based on active transdermal technologies
Active transdermal technologies in cosmetics help deliver skin treatments effectively, but their safety and effectiveness depend on skin type and treatment choice.
research DETERMINATION OF PERMEATION PATHWAY OF GENTAMICIN INTO PIG’S EAR SKIN
Gentamicin penetrates pig skin better through open hair follicles than blocked ones.
research Related Topic: Drug Permeation Through Hair Follicles
Hair follicles are important for drug delivery through the skin, but better methods are needed to understand and improve this process.
research Penetration and Distribution in Human Skin Focusing on the Hair Follicle
Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.
