research The use of cyproterone acetate/ethinyl estradiol in hyperandrogenic skin symptoms – a review
Cyproterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol is effective for treating skin symptoms related to high androgen levels, like in PCOS.
research Beyond skin deep: Self-compassion mediates the link between body shame and psychopathology in people with alopecia and psoriasis
Self-compassion can help reduce body shame and psychological distress in people with alopecia and psoriasis.
research Male experiences of hair removal and loss: depilation practices and motivations
Men are increasingly removing body hair for looks and cleanliness, and while hair loss can cause distress, it doesn't affect their self-esteem as much as it does in women.
research Noggin is required for induction of the hair follicle growth phase in postnatal skin
Noggin is necessary to start the hair growth phase in skin after birth.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.
research Thyroid hormone action in epidermal development and homeostasis and its implications in the pathophysiology of the skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and changes in them can affect conditions like hair loss and eczema.
research Newborn infant skin gene expression: Remarkable differences versus adults
Newborn skin is uniquely prepared to adapt to new environments compared to adult skin.
research Deciphering the Mesodermal Potency of Porcine Skin-Derived Progenitors (SKP) by Microarray Analysis
Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
research Bioengineering Skin Constructs
Future research should focus on making bioengineered skin that completely restores all skin functions.
research A human prenatal skin cell atlas reveals immune cell regulation of skin morphogenesis
Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
research Androgen Receptor Actions Modify Skin Structure and Chemical Carcinogen-induced Skin Cancer Susceptibility in Mice
Androgen receptor inactivation delays skin cancer onset and reduces incidence in mice, with gender differences in susceptibility.
research HGF/SF Increases Number of Skin Melanocytes but Does Not Alter Quality or Quantity of Follicular Melanogenesis
HGF/SF increases skin melanocytes but doesn't change melanin type or amount.
research Pro‐Regenerative Hydrogel Restores Scarless Skin during Cutaneous Wound Healing
A special hydrogel helps heal skin without scars and regrows hair.
research Big Self-Supervised Models Advance Medical Image Classification
Self-supervised learning improves medical image classification accuracy.
research Clinical and biological impact of the exposome on the skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.
research Measurement of Skin Permeation/Penetration of Nanoparticles for Their Safety Evaluation
Nanoparticles don't penetrate intact skin but can enter through pores or damaged skin.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Penetration and distribution of three lipophilic probes in vitro in human skin focusing on the hair follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Permeant lipophilicity and vehicle composition influence accumulation of dyes in hair follicles of human skin
Lipophilic dyes accumulate more in hair follicles when delivered with surfactant-propylene glycol solutions.
research Automated digital image analysis (TrichoScan®) for human hair growth analysis: Ease versus errors
TrichoScan often makes mistakes and needs improvement for correct hair growth analysis.
research Enhanced skin permeation of 5α-reductase inhibitors entrapped into surface-modified liquid crystalline nanoparticles
Special nanoparticles increased skin absorption of hair loss treatments with fewer side effects.
research Neonatal murine skin-derived cells transplanted using a mini-chamber model produce robust and normal hair
Transplanted baby mouse skin cells grew normal hair using a new, efficient method.
research Inhibition of prolactin promotes secondary skin follicle activation in cashmere goats
Blocking prolactin increases the activity of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats.
research Self Organized Skin Equivalent by Epithelial and Fibroblast Cells on Polycaprolactone Electrospun Mat with Porous Fibers
Researchers created a potential skin substitute using a biodegradable mat that supports skin cell growth and layer formation.
research In-Silico Modelling of Transdermal Delivery of Macromolecule Drugs Assisted by a Skin Stretching Hypobaric Device
The simulation showed that hypobaric pressure improves drug delivery through the skin, but stretching alone doesn't fully explain the increase.
research Prevalence of skin lesions in a sample of Brazilian patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Brazilian patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a high rate of skin problems compared to healthy people.
