research Polymorphism of CAG and GGN repeats of androgen receptor gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The clock gene brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) is involved in hair growth
A gene called BMAL1 plays a role in controlling hair growth.
research Human hair follicle and interfollicular keratinocyte reactivity to mouse HPV16-transformed cells: An in vitro study
HPV16-transformed cells can change human skin cell properties, aiding tumor growth.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Characteristics of Malassezia furfur at various pH and effects of Malassezia lipids on skin cells
Malassezia furfur lipids improve skin health at pH 6.
research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research The association between serum ferritin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D and metabolic syndrome in Korean women: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2012
Higher vitamin D levels are linked to higher iron levels in Korean women without metabolic syndrome, but not in those with it.
research Simulation of scalp cooling by external devices for prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Scalp cooling devices need to be powerful enough to overcome heat loss and reach the right temperature to prevent hair loss from chemotherapy.
research In vitro methodology, hormonal and nutritional effects and fibre production in isolated ovine and caprine anagen hair follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research Polymorphisms and association of FAT1 gene with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep
The FAT1 gene and its variations can help improve wool quality in Chinese Merino sheep through selective breeding.
research Highly Upregulated Lhx2 in the Foxn1−/− Nude Mouse Phenotype Reflects a Dysregulated and Expanded Epidermal Stem Cell Niche
The Foxn1(-/-) nude mouse shows disrupted and expanded skin stem cell areas due to high Lhx2 levels.
research Repigmentation of leukoderma in a piebald patient associated with a novel c-KIT gene mutation, G592E, of the tyrosine kinase domain
A new gene mutation may allow some piebaldism patients to regain skin color in white patches.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Responses of prolactin and hair growth to selection for age at puberty in Angus cattle
Selecting Angus cattle for earlier puberty lowers prolactin levels but doesn't affect hair growth.
research Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in hidradenitis suppurativa: the link between deviated immunity and metabolism
Increased HIF-1α is linked to the inflammation and severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting treatments that lower HIF-1α could help.
research Skin self-photography for dysplastic nevus monitoring is associated with a decrease in the number of biopsies at follow-up: A retrospective analytical study
Taking photos of your own skin can lead to fewer skin biopsies for mole monitoring.
research Finasteride-related Leydig cell tumour: report of a case and literature review
Finasteride use may be linked to rare testicular tumor, but more research needed.
research The Association Between Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Diet: An Update.
Diet may help manage hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms.
research Healthy Lifestyle and Dietary Approaches to Treating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Review
Eating healthy, exercising, and changing behaviors are the best first steps to treat Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
research K15 promoter-driven enforced expression of NKIRAS exhibits tumor suppressive activity against the development of DMBA/TPA-induced skin tumors
NKIRAS2 can suppress certain skin tumors but its effect on cancer varies with context and expression level.
research Alopecia in Harlequin mutant mice is associated with reduced AIF protein levels and expression of retroviral elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Optimal Management of Plaque Psoriasis in Adolescents: Current Perspectives
The document concludes that proper treatment and management of plaque psoriasis in adolescents can improve their quality of life.
research Associations between sun sensitive pigmentary genes and serum prostate specific antigen levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
research Possible Immunomodulating Effect of Retinol on Cytokines Secretion in Patients with Recurrent Furunculosis
Retinol may affect immune responses in people with frequent skin boils.
research Attenuation of Dickkopf 1-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition in Cultured Human Hair Follicles by Tianeptine
Tianeptine may help prevent hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing cell death.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Impact of Testosterone on Hair and Skin
Testosterone can cause acne and male-pattern baldness, affects hair growth in men and women, and makes male skin more sensitive.
research Pregnancy in postpartum estrus induces inflammatory milk production and catagen specific pup skin inflammation in interleukin-10 deficient mice
Pregnancy right after giving birth in mice lacking IL-10 causes milk that leads to liver issues and hair loss in their babies.
