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 ...

As a hairdresser, there are moments when I sense a person's "lifestyle" before I even notice their hair itself.The scent that ...

Sebum is a lipid-rich substance produced by the sebaceous glands, playing a vital role in maintaining the skin barrier, hydration, and protection against microbial invasion. However, excessive sebum ...

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 ...

It turns out undigested collagen blocking growing gland cells might sometimes be causing the blackheads seen in common acne, not just excess sebum, as had long been assumed. After the publication of a ...

Treating obese mice with the cytokine known as TSLP led to significant abdominal fat and weight loss compared to controls. The animal model findings support the possibility that increasing sebum ...

In a collaborative project between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Interdisciplinary Center for Bioinformatics (IZBI) at Leipzig University, changes in gene expression in sebaceous glands ...
