research MicroRNA/mRNA regulatory networks in the control of skin development and regeneration
MicroRNAs are crucial for controlling skin development and healing by regulating genes.
research The role of the SWI/SNF ATP dependent chromatin remodelling complex in the regulation of the human hair follicle cell proliferation and control of the human cutaneous wound healing
SWI/SNF complexes are crucial for wound healing but not for hair growth.
research Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
research Investigations into the roles of potassium channels in hair growth : studies confirming the presence of several ATP-sensitive potassium (K+ATP) channels in hair follicles and exploring their mechanism of action using molecular biological, cell culture, organ culture and proteomic approaches
KATP channels are crucial for hair growth, and targeting them may lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Exploring molecular mechanisms controlling skin homeostasis and hair growth : microRNAs in hair-cycle-dependent gene regulation, hair growth and associated tissue remodelling
MicroRNAs are crucial for hair growth and skin balance.
research Role of the bone morphogenetic protein signalling in skin carcinogenesis. Effect of transgenic overexpression of BMP antognist Noggin on skin tumour development; molecular mechanisms underlying tumour suppressive role of the BMP signalling in skin.
BMP signaling helps prevent skin tumors by blocking cancer-promoting pathways.
research Identification of human hair follicle antigens targeted in the presumptive autoimmune hair follicle disorder alopecia areata and their potential functional relevance in vitro : methods development for isolation and identification of alopecia areata-relevant human hair follicle antigens using a proteomics approach and their functional assessment using an ex vivo hair follicle organ culture model
Alopecia areata may be caused by antibodies targeting specific hair follicle proteins, hindering hair growth.
research Response
The authors agree they didn't follow the original criteria strictly but found the Ottawa rule effective in all tested patients and suggest it might have wider use.
research Murine Cytomegalovirus is Not Associated With Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice
Murine cytomegalovirus does not cause alopecia areata in these mice.
research Structures of three polycystic kidney disease-like domains fromClostridium histolyticumcollagenases ColG and ColH
The study concludes that certain domains in Clostridium histolyticum enzymes are structurally unique, bind calcium to become more stable, and play distinct roles in breaking down collagen, with potential applications in medicine and drug delivery.
research Comparison of self-assessed and clinician-assessed hirsutism diagnosed according to the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scale among female outpatients in Brazil
Self-assessed hirsutism scores are not reliable for clinical diagnosis but may help in screening.
research An Evaluation System to Enhance Patient Selection for Alopecia-Reducing Surgery
The evaluation system improved patient selection for hair loss surgery, leading to better results and satisfaction.
research A 40-Year-Old Woman With Facial Papules and Flank Pain
Early recognition of skin lesions in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is crucial for detecting renal tumors early.
research The Case | Bilateral kidney tumors and lung cysts
A man with kidney tumors and lung cysts was diagnosed with Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and treated successfully, with genetic testing confirming the diagnosis.
research 1747 PREDICTION OF BLADDER PROSTATIC OBSTRUCTION: DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMPLIFIED CLINICAL NOMOGRAM
Researchers created a simple tool to predict bladder blockage from prostate enlargement using urine flow rate and prostate volume.
research Developing the Breast Utility Instrument to Assess Health-related Quality of Life and Preferences in Patients with Breast Cancer
The Breast Utility Instrument was developed to assess quality of life in breast cancer patients.
research Visually scoring hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research Grading of hirsutism: a practical approach to the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scoring system
Checking the chin, thighs, upper lip, or lower abdomen is enough to predict hirsutism.
research An Evaluation System to Enhance Patient Selection for Alopecia-Reducing Surgery
The evaluation system improves patient selection for hair loss surgery, leading to fewer but more successful surgeries.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: clinical criteria
The document concludes that hirsutism is the main sign for diagnosing hyperandrogenism, which requires a detailed patient history and physical exam.
research Diagnostic Criteria for PCOS
The conclusion is that a more comprehensive and precise approach is needed for diagnosing PCOS to address its broader health risks.
research Reply to: “Updated diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia”
The authors updated the criteria for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, making it easier to diagnose without a biopsy.
research Criticising Modified Ferriman-Gallwey Scroring System in the Evaluation of Hirsutism in 1034 Turkish Women
The study suggests using a score of 11 on the mFG scale to diagnose hirsutism in Turkish women, with adjustments for age, skin type, and family history.
research Screening for 21-hydroxylase–deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia among hyperandrogenic women: a prospective study
Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.
research PTCH1 Germline Mutations and the Basaloid Follicular Hamartoma Values in the Tumor Spectrum of Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome (NBCCS)
