research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research Secreted subtilisin Sub3 from Microsporum canis is required for adherence to but not for invasion of the epidermis
Sub3 is essential for fungus adherence but not for skin invasion.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Irreversible and severe alopecia following docetaxel or paclitaxel cytotoxic therapy for breast cancer
Docetaxel and paclitaxel for breast cancer can cause permanent, severe hair loss.
research Alopecia areata is characterized by dysregulation in systemic type 17 and type 2 cytokines, which may contribute to disease‐associated psychological morbidity
Alopecia areata involves immune system imbalances that may lead to depression and anxiety.
research The effects of minoxidil, 1% pyrithione zinc and a combination of both on hair density: a randomized controlled trial
Minoxidil and pyrithione zinc combo most effectively increases hair density.
research Stem cell markers (cytokeratin 15, CD34 and nestin) in primary scarring and nonscarring alopecia
Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.
research Type 1 interferon signature in the scalp lesions of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research The spectrum of inflammatory skin disease following jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity
Some patients developed skin inflammation after obesity surgery, and a medication called dapsone helped treat it.
research Prostate cancer incidence among finasteride and alpha-blocker users in the Finnish Prostate Cancer Screening Trial
Finasteride might lower the risk of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade cancer, while alpha-blockers might reduce high-grade cancer risk.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa: an-androgen-dependent disorder
Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research Gender-specific association of androgenetic alopecia with metabolic syndrome in a middle-aged Korean population
Female hair loss linked to metabolic syndrome, not in males.
research Procyanidin B-2, extracted from apples, promotes hair growth: a laboratory study
Apple extract called procyanidin B-2 was found to greatly increase hair growth.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Straight hair associated with interferon-alfa plus ribavirin in hepatitis C infection
ALA-PDT is effective and safe for chronic X-ray dermatitis, providing complete or partial remission.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research Fine mapping of the human AR/EDA2R locus in androgenetic alopecia
Genetic marker rs12558842 strongly linked to male hair loss.
research Study of gene expression alteration in male androgenetic alopecia: evidence of predominant molecular signalling pathways
Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.
research Practical issues for emollient therapy in dry and itchy skin
Nurses should know about different moisturizers to help patients with dry, itchy skin choose the best one.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Sunscreen and facial skincare products in frontal fibrosing alopecia: a case–control study
Regular use of sunscreen may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Effect of cyproterone acetate on rate of hair growth in hirsute females
Cyproterone acetate reduced hair growth in most hirsute females and made hair softer, thinner, and lighter.
research Differential expression and functionality of ATP-binding cassette transporters in the human hair follicle
Certain transporters are found in human hair follicles and may affect hair growth and loss.
research CD10 and CD34 in fetal and adult human hair follicles: dynamic changes in their immunohistochemical expression during embryogenesis and hair cycling
CD10 and CD34 levels change during hair development and different hair growth stages, which could be important for hair regeneration treatments.
research Analysis of quantitative changes in hair growth during treatment with chemotherapy or tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer: a cohort study
Chemotherapy causes hair loss starting soon after treatment begins and recovers about 3 months after ending, while tamoxifen does not significantly affect hair growth.
