research A cross-sectional study of clinical, dermoscopic, histopathological, and molecular patterns of scalp melanoma in patients with or without androgenetic alopecia
Scalp melanoma is more common and easier to diagnose early in people with androgenetic alopecia due to sun damage.
research News in brief
Researchers found potential new targets for treating melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and identified a possible cause and treatment for male pattern baldness and eczema.
research 1403 Melatonin protects K15+ human hair follicle stem cells against paclitaxel-induced damage ex vivo
Melatonin may help prevent hair loss caused by the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel.
research Endothelin-1 combined with extracellular matrix proteins promotes the adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles in vitro
