research Are sex hormones promising candidates to explain sex disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic?
Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.
research Human KAP Genes, Only the Half of it? Extensive Size Polymorphisms in Hair Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
KAP genes show significant genetic variability, but its impact on hair traits is unclear.
research Distinct Phenotypic and Genomic Signatures Underlie Contrasting Pathogenic Potential of Staphylococcus epidermidis Clonal Lineages
Staphylococcus epidermidis A/C strains are more antibiotic-resistant and infection-adapted, while B strains thrive in hair follicles.
research p53‐dependent transcriptional regulation of EDA2R and its involvement in chemotherapy‐induced hair loss
The study concludes that the EDA2R gene is activated by p53 during chemotherapy but is not necessary for chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia and coronary artery disease in women
Women under 55 with hair loss (AGA) may have a higher risk of heart disease (CAD).
research Allopregnanolone in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis modulates contextual fear in rats
Allopregnanolone affects fear responses differently in male and female rats, possibly explaining sex differences in anxiety disorders.
research Clinical and histological challenge in the differential diagnosis of diffuse alopecia: female androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata – part I
Diagnosing hair loss disorders needs clinical, dermoscopic, and histological differences, and checking menstrual cycle, weight changes, drug therapy, and nail changes.
research Mind the Gap: Sex Bias in Basic Skin Research
The document concludes that there is a significant lack of reporting on the sex and age of cells in skin research, which could affect clinical trials and treatments.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Comparative Proteomic Analysis in Scar-Free Skin Regeneration in Acomys cahirinus and Scarring Mus musculus
The African spiny mouse heals skin without scarring due to different protein activity compared to the common house mouse, which heals with scarring.
research Understanding breakage in curly hair
Curly hair breaks due to mechanical damage and environmental factors, not chemical makeup, and needs ongoing care to prevent breakage.
research Hair Breakage in Patients of African Descent: Role of Dermoscopy
Dermoscopy helps quickly identify hair breakage in people of African descent.
research Female pattern hair loss may be triggered by low oestrogen to androgen ratio.
Low estrogen compared to androgen may cause female hair loss.
research Intraethnic variation in steroid-5-alpha-reductase polymorphisms in prostate cancer patients: a potential factor implicated in 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Animal fibre: connecting science and production
Improving knowledge and practices in animal fibre production is crucial to meet market demands and potentially revive natural fibres.
research Evaluation of Scalp Hair Density and Diameter in the Arab Population: Clinical Office-Based Phototrichogram Analysis
Arab hair is generally thicker but less dense compared to other ethnicities, affecting hair disorder diagnosis and treatment.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research Scalp Patholog for the Hair Restoration Surgeon
Hair restoration surgeons must understand the differences between CTE and FPHL for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
