Skin and Hair
A molecular search for happier skin
Leeds scientists are using the most sophisticated techniques to tackle a question almost as old as mankind itself – what makes skin feel good, and why?
Some skin cancer may be mediated by primary cilia activity
Tiny, solitary spikes that stick out of nearly every cell in the body play a central role in a type of skin cancer, new research has found. The discovery in mice shows that the microscopic structures known as primary cilia can either suppress or promote this skin cancer, depending on the mutation triggering the disease....Skin-like Tissue Developed from Human Embryonic Stem Cells
BOSTON — Dental and tissue engineering researchers at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts have harnessed the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to generate complex, multilayer tissues that mimic human skin and the oral mucosa (the moist tissue that lines the inside of the mouth). ...Health Food Supplement May Curb Compulsive Hair Pulling
Patients with the disorder, known as trichotillomania, reported feeling much improved after taking the supplement...Skin Lesion Leads To More Cancer Types Than Once Believed
Dermatologist Martin Weinstock has found that sun-damaged rough patches on the skin known as actinic keratoses lead to more forms of skin cancer than previously thought. Weinstock and colleagues also determined that lesions can become invisible and resurface over time. Details are in the current issue of the journal Cancer. ...Hair not enough to protect scalp from sun damage
Whether your scalp is covered with a full head of hair or not, dermatologists at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston say play it safe and protect your scalp....Say goodbye to skin cancer, scars
While some people are heading to sunny spots for spring break, others are wary of tropical locales. They know that too much sun can lead to serious damage – even skin cancer – in the long run....Personalized cosmetic procedures provide best results
If a cosmetic procedure is in the budget for the new year, or even if it isn't, doctors at Baylor College of Medicine advise keeping skin tone and texture in mind when making cosmetic decisions....Log in
