A mother's western diet can make her milk toxic, causing inflammation and hair loss in babies.
research Characterization of Hair Follicle Development in Engineered Skin Substitutes
Engineered skin substitutes can grow hair but have limitations like missing sebaceous glands and hair not breaking through the skin naturally.
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.

The microenvironment controls adult stem cells' behavior and fate.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Generation of Tβ4 knock-in Cashmere goat using CRISPR/Cas9
Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 to create a goat with a gene that increased cashmere production by 74.5% without affecting quality.
research Hair Pigmentation: A Research Update
Hair color is determined by different melanins and changes with age.
research Stereocontrolled synthesis of all eight stereoisomers of the putative anti-androgen cyoctol
Scientists made all eight versions of a compound called cyoctol, but found it's not an anti-androgen and it fully breaks down in the skin.
research Loss of ‘Epidermal Melanin Unit’ Integrity in Human Skin During Melanoma-Genesis
Melanoma development can be linked to the breakdown of skin's melanin-producing units.
research Androgenetic alopecia: the role of inflammation and Demodex
Inflammation and Demodex mites might contribute to hair loss, and targeting them could help treat it.
research Facial preservation following extreme mummification: Shrunken heads
Shrunken heads retain some facial features and hair characteristics, allowing for limited individual identification.
research Skin biology
Current therapies cannot fully regenerate adult skin without scars; more research is needed for scar-free healing.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Isolation and molecular characterization of Malassezia pachydermatis from a cutaneous lesion in a California sea lion (Zalophus californianus)
The yeast found in a sea lion's skin lesion was almost identical to that on healthy skin, suggesting environmental factors may affect fungal growth and the cause of the lesion is unclear.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
