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 ...

Changes in gene expression in sebaceous glands have now been spatially mapped. The study documents at high resolution changes in gene expression in the course of sebum synthesis and identifies new ...

Sebaceous glands are essential for maintaining the structure and function of the skin. In a process known as holocrine secretion, cells in the periphery of the gland accumulate large amounts of lipid ...

Japanese researchers have found that vitamin C can thicken skin by switching on genes that boost skin cell growth, helping reverse age-related thinning. It works by reactivating DNA through a process ...
