research The Challenging Consultation: Management of Melanoma
The conclusion is that managing hair loss conditions like FFA and melanoma requires individualized approaches, considering new findings and balancing treatment benefits with potential risks.
research Short sequence repeats of the intergenic spacer regions of ribosomal RNA genes in Malassezia globosa and M. restricta colonizing the scalps of male individuals with and without androgenetic alopecia
A specific DNA pattern in Malassezia restricta may be linked to hair loss in men.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.
research Study on genetic polymorphisms of androgen receptor gene and 5α-reductase genes of Han men with androgenetic alopecia in the Eastern China
Shorter GGC triplet repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to less hair loss in Han men.
