R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research Why were Sardinians the shortest Europeans? A journey through genes, infections, nutrition, and sex
Sardinians were historically short due to a mix of genetics and factors like disease and poor nutrition, but recent height increases suggest better living conditions had a bigger impact.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Paternal Finasteride Treatment Can Influence the Testicular Transcriptome Profile of Male Offspring—Preliminary Study
Father's finasteride use may affect son's fertility and testicular function.

research A novel therapeutic paradigm for patients with extensive alopecia areata
New treatments targeting immune pathways show promise for severe hair loss but need more research for safety and effectiveness.
research Expression of Hex during feather bud development
Hex gene plays a crucial role in starting feather development in chick embryos.
research Wound Induced Hair Neogenesis – A Novel Paradigm for Studying Regeneration and Aging
Wounds can regenerate hair in young mice, but this ability declines with age, offering insights for improving tissue regeneration in the elderly.
research Transcriptional Control of Epidermal Stem Cells
Certain transcription factors are key in controlling skin stem cell behavior and could impact future treatments for skin repair and hair loss.
research Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
