Stem cells and progenitor cells play an important role in the renewal of multiple tissues. Professor Jyrki Heino’s research group from the University of Turku together and Professor Fiona Watt´s ...

New research from Rockefeller University's Elaine Fuchs examines how skin cells involved in oil production develop from a newly identified population of cells adjacent to the hair follicle. Their ...

‌Sebaceous hyperplasia is a harmless, common skin condition that becomes more common with age. It happens when your sebaceous oil glands make too much oil that gets trapped under your skin and causes ...

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 ...

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign condition that causes bumps to form on the skin. Treatments can include removal, medications, and home remedies. Skin contains sebaceous glands, which produce oil, or ...

Sebum is an oily substance that protect and hydrate the skin’s surface. It mixes with fat molecules, called lipids, to form a protective coating on the skin. The sebaceous glands produce sebum. It ...

A sebum plug may look like a small bump under the skin’s surface or it could stick out like a grain of sand. Treatment may include exfoliation, topicals, and oral medications. Just below the surface ...

To determine the pathways that regulate primary human sebocytes growth and differentiation, we developed a novel culture method by mimicking the microenvironment of the sebaceous glands in vitro. Skin ...
