Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders with Fragility—Part I
Some congenital hair disorders improve in childhood or with treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while others like Netherton syndrome and trichothiodystrophy have a poor prognosis.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 26-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
Selecting specific KRTAP26-1 gene variants can improve wool quality in sheep.
research Characterisation of an Ovine Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) Gene, Which Would Produce a Protein Rich in Glycine and Tyrosine, but Lacking in Cysteine
A new sheep gene, KRTAP36-1, may help breed sheep with better wool by reducing prickle factor.
research NovelPAX9mutation associated with syndromic tooth agenesis
A new PAX9 gene mutation causes missing teeth and hair problems, but not skin or nail issues.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders without Fragility—Part II
Some congenital hair disorders improve with age and can be managed with treatments like minoxidil, retinoids, supplements, and gentle hair care, but there's no cure.
research Live imaging of Smad2/3 signaling in mouse skin wound healing
Smad2/3-dependent TGF-β signaling increases during wound healing.
research Tp63-expressing adult epithelial stem cells cross lineages boundaries revealing latent hairy skin competence
Adult stem cells with Tp63 can form hair and skin cells when placed in new skin, showing they have hidden abilities for skin repair.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits

research Debatable Topics in PCOS Patients
PCOS is complex, affects many, and requires informed management and lifestyle changes.
research Abstracts from the 55th European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) Conference: e-Posters
Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.
research Detection of a Second KAP22 Family Member in Sheep and Analysis of Its Genetic Variation and Associations with Selected Wool Fibre Traits
The KRTAP22-2 gene in sheep does not significantly affect wool traits.
research Characterisation of Four New Genes in the Ovine KAP19 Family
Four new genes related to sheep wool were discovered, showing genetic diversity.
research Effects of KRTAP20-1 Gene Variation on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Variant G of the KRTAP20-1 gene improves wool curliness in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Ovine KRTAP36-2: A New Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Related to Variation in Wool Yield
The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlie Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis with Monilethrix Hairs and Congenital Scalp Erosions
Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Induction of hair follicle dermal papilla cell properties in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived multipotent LNGFR(+)THY-1(+) mesenchymal cells
Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.
research Minoxidil downregulates Interleukin-1 alpha gene expression in HaCaT cells
Minoxidil may help treat hair loss by reducing inflammation-related gene activity in skin cells.
research Red ginseng oil promotes hair growth and protects skin against UVC radiation
Red ginseng oil may help grow hair and protect skin from UVC light.
research Strawberry water-extract increases cellular dehydrogenase activity in human follicle dermal papilla cells
Strawberry water-extract may boost hair cell metabolism.
research Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research Cross-kingdom delivery and putative gene modulation of androgen pathways by plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from polygoni multiflori radix promotes hair growth via miRNA cargo
Plant-derived nanoparticles from Polygoni Multiflori Radix promote hair growth better than Minoxidil by affecting androgen pathways.
