Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
research Sexual dysfunction in subjects treated with inhibitors of 5α-reductase for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a comprehensive review and meta-analysis
Men taking 5α-reductase inhibitors for enlarged prostate have a higher chance of experiencing reduced sexual desire and erectile dysfunction.
research Apoptosis May Explain the Pharmacological Mode of Action and Adverse Effects of Isotretinoin, Including Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin's effects and side effects, like birth defects and depression, might be due to it causing cell death in various cells.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Molecular basis of hair cell loss
The document concludes that there are no effective clinical treatments for hearing loss due to hair cell damage, but research is ongoing.
research Stem cell quiescence acts as a tumour suppressor in squamous tumours
Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.
research Progress on the road to better medical care for transgender patients
The conclusion is that published guidelines are improving transgender medical care, but more research and education in transgender medicine are needed.

Dermoscopy improves diagnosis and treatment monitoring for children's skin infections, inflammations, and hair disorders.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research About photo-damage of human hair
We don't fully understand how sunlight damages different types of hair.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research THE DISEASE SPECTRUM, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND ETIOLOGY OF TOXIC-SHOCK SYNDROME
Toxic Shock Syndrome cases increased due to new factors, but decreased with public health measures and changes in tampon use.
