Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Loose Anagen Hair as a Cause of Hereditary Hair Loss in Children
Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome is a hereditary condition causing hair loss in children due to abnormal hair follicles.
research Therapeutic approach for metabolic disorders and infertility in women with PCOS
Lifestyle changes and weight loss are key for treating PCOS-related metabolic issues and infertility, with various medications available for specific symptoms.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme During the Hair Growth Cycle: Implications for Growth Control and Hair Follicle Transformations
Disruptions in hair follicle fibroblast dynamics can cause hair growth problems.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Topical minoxidil (3%) in extensive alopecia areata, including long-term efficacy
3% topical minoxidil effectively treats extensive alopecia areata with few side effects.
research An Overview of Alopecias
The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Essential syphilitic alopecia revisited
Syphilis can cause hair loss that looks like other conditions, but it improves with treatment.
research Adverse Reactions to Oral Retinoids An Update
Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
