research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men treated best with early medication or transplant, new treatments researched.
research Aging of hair
Hair ages due to genetics and environmental factors, leading to graying and thinning, with treatments available for some conditions.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain (LBD) of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor (hGR) Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus of hGR LBD in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research The roles of Wnt/β‐catenin pathway in tissue development and regenerative medicine
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is important for tissue development and has potential in regenerative medicine, but requires more research for therapeutic use.
research Trichoscopy for common hair loss diseases: Algorithmic method for diagnosis
The conclusion is that an algorithm using trichoscopy helps diagnose different types of hair loss but may need updates and a biopsy if results are unclear.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Six Novel Susceptibility Loci for Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Unexpected Association with Common Diseases
Six new genetic regions linked to early hair loss also connect to Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, possibly leading to new treatments.
research Epidemiology of skin cancer in the mature patient
Older adults have a high rate of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, mainly due to UV exposure and age.
research Aging of the hair follicle pigmentation system
Hair grays due to oxidative stress and fewer functioning melanocytes.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Tumour regression predicts higher risk of sentinel node involvement in thin cutaneous melanomas
Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa treatment should be tailored to the individual, with quitting smoking being important.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of primary cicatricial alopecia is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.
research Lamins in development, tissue maintenance and stress
Lamins are vital for cell survival, organ development, and preventing premature aging.
research Delivery of Tissue-Targeted Scalpels: Opportunities and Challenges for In Vivo CRISPR/Cas-Based Genome Editing
Using CRISPR for gene editing in the body is promising but needs better delivery methods to be more efficient and specific.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
A position effect on the TRPS1 gene causes excessive hair growth in humans and mice.
research Medical applications of tattooing
Tattooing helps treat skin conditions, reconstruct nipple-areola, mark radiation fields, and locate lesions.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research Woolly hair nevus
A 17-year-old developed woolly hair nevus in adolescence, which is unusual, and over time the hair darkened and straightened slightly, but microscopic changes persisted.
research Hair darkening in porphyria cutanea tarda
Two patients with porphyria cutanea tarda experienced their grey hair turning dark again.
research Short anagen syndrome
Short anagen syndrome involves a hair growth phase lasting 1.5 years.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
