research Tumor Mapping in 2 Large Multigenerational Families With CYLD Mutations
CYLD mutations cause a variety of skin tumors with symptoms starting around age 16, and treatments are currently limited.
research Follicular Unit Extraction
FUE provides minimal scarring and quick recovery in hair transplantation, and surgeons not using it may lag in technology.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
