Here we have developed a novel method of culturing human sebocytes without transformation and using a feeder layer-free culture system to examine the role of the TGFβ pathway in the control of ...

Stem cells and progenitor cells play an important role in the renewal of multiple tissues. Scientists have discovered a molecule called embigin on the surface of epithelia progenitor cells and proven ...

Accutane, known generically as isotretinoin, is not simply a strong acne medication. It is a systemic retinoid that ...

However, there has been no detailed study of the changes in gene expression in sebocytes (sebaceous gland cells) that lead to sebum production. In this recently published study, the two research ...

Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

Debunking the common myth behind blackheads, Dr. Bindu Sthalekar said that most people assume the tiny black dots on their ...

Black dots on the nose are one of the most stubborn and misunderstood skin concerns. Often mistaken for trapped dirt, these ...
