research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Recently Identified Forms of Epidermolysis Bullosa
Three new types of a skin blistering disease were found, caused by specific gene mutations.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Alopecia Areata. Current situation and perspectives
Alopecia Areata is a complex, unpredictable autoimmune hair loss condition with limited treatment options and a significant psychological impact.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
Researchers found a new gene variant linked to a rare bone disease, which doesn't always cause symptoms in carriers.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
research A function for Rac1 in the terminal differentiation and pigmentation of hair
Rac1 is essential for proper hair structure and color.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Alopecia areata. Actualidad y perspectivas
Alopecia areata needs new treatments targeting autoimmune processes due to its emotional impact and variable treatment responses.
research Mutation in 5′ upstream region of GCH I gene causes familial dopa-responsive dystonia
A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
research Deciphering the Mesodermal Potency of Porcine Skin-Derived Progenitors (SKP) by Microarray Analysis
Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
research Clinical, pathological, and molecular features of classical and L-type atypical-BSE in goats
Both classical and L-type atypical BSE from cattle can infect goats with different incubation times, and tests can distinguish between the two strains.
research Ability to cycle despite severe freezing of gait in atypical parkinsonism in Fahr's syndrome
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.
research Encephalitis lethargica due to Epstein–Barr virus infection
Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism presenting as posterior cortical atrophy
A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research The Rotterdam Study: objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study investigates diseases in older adults and has produced many research findings.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Wound Healing: A Cellular Perspective
The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.
research Vitiligo: A comprehensive overview
Vitiligo is a skin condition causing white spots, more common in women, often starts before age 20, and can affect mental health.
research Regeneration of fat cells from myofibroblasts during wound healing
Some wound-healing cells can turn into fat cells around new hair growth in mice.
research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 update on objectives, design and main results
The Rotterdam Study updated findings on elderly health, focusing on heart disease, genetics, lifestyle effects, and disease understanding.
research Auxin and ethylene: collaborators or competitors?
Auxin and ethylene hormones both work together and against each other to control plant growth.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
