research Clinical Case Notes. Lipoid proteinosis: a rare disorder with pathognomonic lid lesions
A baby boy with 13q deletion syndrome had eye cancer, a woman's vision improved after stopping a breast cancer drug, a man developed cataracts from using Propecia, and a rare skin disorder called Lipoid Proteinosis was discussed. Also, a tool called OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.
research Generation of trichogenic adipose-derived stem cells by expression of three factors
Scientists made stem cells that can grow hair by adding three specific factors to them.
research An ovarian Leydig cell tumor of ultrasound negative in a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hyperandrogenism
A postmenopausal woman's hirsutism and high testosterone levels improved after surgery for an ovarian tumor not seen on ultrasound.
research Development and evaluation of antisense shRNA-encoding plasmid loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against 5-α reductase activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Male fertility and skin diseases
Some skin diseases and their treatments can negatively affect male fertility.
research Clinical review 74: Dermatological manifestations of endocrine disorders.
Skin changes can indicate hormonal imbalances and help diagnose endocrine disorders.
research In vivo and in vitro hair growth‐promoting effect of silver and iron nanoparticles synthesized via Blumea eriantha DC plant extract
Silver nanoparticles can significantly promote hair growth.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
research Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Protects CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Stem Cells Against Androgen-Induced Apoptosis Through the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Pathway in Patients With Androgenic Alopecia
A substance called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor can protect certain hair follicle stem cells from damage caused by androgens, suggesting a new possible treatment for hair loss.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
