research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is linked to specific genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene.
research Genetic Analysis of Male Pattern Baldness and the 5α-Reductase Genes
Male pattern baldness is likely caused by multiple genes, not just 5α-reductase genes.
research Biotin and biotinidase deficiency
Biotin and biotinidase are essential to prevent health issues, and deficiencies require lifelong supplementation.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme: Implications for Hair Growth Control
Hair growth is influenced by dynamic changes in hair follicle cells, which could help treat hair loss.
research Cannabinoid Signaling in the Skin: Therapeutic Potential of the “C(ut)annabinoid” System
Cannabinoids may help treat various skin conditions.
research Immunology of the Human Nail Apparatus: The Nail Matrix Is a Site of Relative Immune Privilege
The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
research Role of Cytotoxic T Cells in Chronic Alopecia Areata
Cytotoxic T cells cause hair loss in chronic alopecia areata.
research Type XVII collagen coordinates proliferation in the interfollicular epidermis
Type XVII collagen helps control skin cell growth and could be a target for anti-aging treatments.
research Identification of reptilian genes encoding hair keratin-like proteins suggests a new scenario for the evolutionary origin of hair
Reptiles have genes similar to hair proteins, suggesting hair's genetic origins predate mammals.
research Fluorescence Microscopy—An Outline of Hardware, Biological Handling, and Fluorophore Considerations
Designing effective fluorescence microscopy experiments requires careful consideration of hardware, biological models, and imaging agents.
research Size-dependent penetration of nanoemulsions into epidermis and hair follicles: implications for transdermal delivery and immunization
Smaller nanoemulsions can penetrate skin and hair follicles better, which may be useful for delivering drugs and vaccines through the skin.
research Epidermal Growth Factor as a Biologic Switch in Hair Growth Cycle
EGF controls hair growth by regulating hair follicles' growth phases.
research K25 (K25irs1), K26 (K25irs2), K27 (K25irs3), and K28 (K25irs4) Represent the Type I Inner Root Sheath Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
K25, K27, and K28 are found in all inner root sheath layers of hair, while K26 is only in the cuticle.
research Evaluation of an eucalyptus oil containing topical drug delivery system for selected steroid hormones
The eucalyptus oil system improved skin delivery of hormones, but safety concerns remain.
research Trichoscopy in genetic hair shaft abnormalities
Trichoscopy is a quick and easy way to diagnose most genetic hair problems without invasive methods.
research Real-time iTRAQ-based proteome profiling revealed the central metabolism involved in nitrogen starvation induced lipid accumulation in microalgae
Nitrogen starvation in microalgae increases lipid production, making it a potential biofuel source.
research Sodium chloride reduces growth and cytosolic calcium, but does not affect cytosolic pH, in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana L.
Sodium chloride slows root hair growth by altering calcium levels, not pH.
research Prostate Cancer Early Detection, Version 2.2015
The guidelines aim to find treatable prostate cancer early while avoiding unnecessary tests and treatments.
research Comparative Anatomy of Mouse and Human Nail Units
Mouse nails are similar to human nails, making them useful for studying nail diseases.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Haplotypes spanning centromeric regions reveal persistence of large blocks of archaic DNA
Ancient DNA blocks are still present in human genomes, possibly due to advantages they provide.
research Fertility evaluation of infertile women: a committee opinion
The conclusion is that women under 35 should start fertility checks after 12 months of trying to conceive, women over 35 after 6 months, and women over 40 should start immediately. The checks should include ovulation status, reproductive tract structure, and male partner's semen evaluation.
research A Novel Type II Cytokeratin, mK6irs, is Expressed in the Huxley and Henle Layers of the Mouse Inner Root Sheath
A new protein, mK6irs, is found in specific hair layers and may help understand hair growth and diseases.

New method finds genetic links between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer not seen before.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research cDNA Cloning, Expression, and Assembly Characteristics of Mouse Keratin 16
Mouse and human keratin 16 can both form filaments, with differences likely due to the tail domain, not the helical domain.
