Adrenal disorders can cause lasting brain and behavior issues in children.
research Human TSC2-null fibroblast-like cells induce hair follicle neogenesis and hamartoma morphogenesis
Cells from a skin condition can create new hair follicles and similar growths in mice, and a specific treatment can reduce these effects.
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 Polycystic ovary syndrome and risks for COVID-19 infection: A comprehensive review
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 due to related health issues.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel insertion mutation in the human hairless gene
Researchers found a new mutation causing total hair loss from birth.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.

A 2-year-old boy with a rare brain malformation may have Gomez–López-Hernández syndrome.
research The role of leptin in selected skin diseases
Leptin affects skin and hair health and may worsen some skin conditions, but more research is needed to understand its full impact.
research THERAPEUTIC HOTLINE: Genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene and finasteride response in women with androgenetic alopecia mediated by epigenetics
Women with greater androgen sensitivity respond better to finasteride for hair loss.
research Skin diseases in consequence of endocrine alterations
Hormone imbalances can cause skin diseases, and understanding these links is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Association of AR rs6152G/A gene polymorphism with susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome in Chinese women
A certain gene variant may increase the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in Chinese women.
