research Skin and hair abnormalities of Cantu syndrome: A congenital hypertrichosis due to a genetic alteration mimicking the pharmacological effect of minoxidil
Cantu syndrome, which causes excessive hair growth and skin issues, is due to a mutation in the ABCC9 gene, and understanding this could help develop new treatments for hair diseases.
research Forensic DNA phenotyping: the need for proportionate regulation and judicial clarity in law enforcement
Unified regulations and ethical guidelines are needed for fair use of forensic DNA phenotyping.
research Getting under the skin of hair aging: the impact of the hair follicle environment
Aging scalp skin contributes to hair aging and loss, and more research is needed to develop better hair loss treatments.

research Forensic DNA Phenotyping: a review on SNP panels, genotyping techniques, and prediction models
Forensic DNA phenotyping faces challenges due to inconsistent terminology, limited genetic understanding, and debates over technology and models.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Expression of mesenchymal stem cell marker CD90 on dermal sheath cells of the anagen hair follicle in canine species
CD90 is present on specific cells in dog hair follicles.
