630-660 / 1000+ results research Suppression of hair follicle development inhibits induction of sonic hedgehog, patched, and patched-2 in hair germs in mice
Blocking hair follicle development stops key gene signals needed for hair growth in mice.
research The Tabby (Ta), Tabby-c (Tac), and Tabby-J (TaJ) Mutations, Chromosome X
Tabby mutations in mice affect hair follicle development and help study genetic mapping and certain medical conditions.
research Scleromyxedema with neurologic involvement: Therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin
Umbilical cord blood transplantation improved the boy's symptoms despite complications.
research Clinical Snippets
Topical Imiquimod may fight vascular tumors by affecting blood vessels or the immune system, low iron might be linked to some hair loss, removing the top skin layer helps vitamin C get in, genetic testing helps diagnose skin conditions, and too much iron could worsen skin inflammation.

research Ugreelig hår
A young boy's uncombable hair is due to a rare genetic condition that usually improves over time.
research Research Snippets
New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
research Photosensitive Trichothiodystrophy with Complex Cerebral Abnormalities
Trichothiodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder causing hair issues and sometimes linked to DNA repair defects.
research Varicella Recurrence Complicated by Pneumonia After Liver Transplantation for APECED
A liver transplant patient with APECED had a rare VZV recurrence and pneumonia, treated successfully, but later died from other infections.
research Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy: a case report with molecular study
A rare genetic disorder causes sparse hair and vision loss due to a CDH3 gene mutation.
