research Hormonal profile in Indian men with premature androgenetic alopecia
Premature balding in some men may be linked to altered hormones, but it's not the male equivalent to polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome.
research The role of lysophosphatidic acid in the physiology and pathology of the skin
Lysophosphatidic acid is important for skin health and disease, and could be a target for new skin disorder treatments.
research Nutrition and the deleterious side effects of nutritional supplements
Taking too many vitamin and mineral supplements can cause serious health problems.
research NF-κB Participates in Mouse Hair Cycle Control and Plays Distinct Roles in the Various Pelage Hair Follicle Types
NF-κB is crucial for different stages and types of hair growth in mice.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research The Role of the Slc39a Family of Zinc Transporters in Zinc Homeostasis in Skin
Certain zinc transporters are essential for healthy skin and managing zinc in the body could help treat skin problems.
research The role of leptin in selected skin diseases
Leptin affects skin and hair health and may worsen some skin conditions, but more research is needed to understand its full impact.
research Alopecia areata in a rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
The monkey's hair loss was due to an autoimmune disease, not genetics.
research Evidence for multiple, developmentally regulated isoforms of Ptprq on hair cells of the inner ear
Ptprq has multiple forms that change during inner ear development.
research Recent advances in congenital ichthyoses
New genes linked to ichthyosis were found, but there's still no cure; treatment options are improving.
research Light Microscopic Hair Abnormalities in Children: Retrospective Review of 119 Cases in a 10-Year Period

Differentiating PCOS from NCAH helps improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Darier Sign: A Historical Note
Dermatologists diagnose and manage melanoma more effectively than general practitioners.
research Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research Embryologic layers in dermatology: Developmental checkpoint disorders, diagnostic insight, and regenerative futures
Understanding embryologic layers improves skin disorder diagnosis and supports developing targeted therapies.
research Plakophilin 1 suppresses keratinocyte innate immune responses through DExD/H helicases
Plakophilin 1 helps control skin cell immune responses to prevent excessive inflammation.
research Glossary
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.

The document concludes that Syndromes of Severe Insulin Resistance are rare disorders with limited treatment options.
research Cutaneous signals of immune system disease
Skin issues can indicate immune system problems.
research Disrupted Cholesterol Biosynthesis and Hair Follicle Stem Cell Impairment in the Onset of Alopecia
Disrupted cholesterol production impairs hair follicle stem cells, leading to hair loss.
research Keratin function and regulation in tissue homeostasis and pathogenesis
Keratin is crucial for keeping skin cells healthy and its changes can lead to diseases and affect cell behavior.
