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 ...

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 ...

This patient had sebaceous hyperplasia, a benign proliferation of the sebaceous gland that occurs in a periorbital location on patients of middle age or older. The condition is characterized by small, ...

Scientists have uncovered a novel mechanism through which skin cells organize and control protein production during ...

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 ...
