research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research Lifestyle and Physiological Factors Associated with Facial Wrinkling in Men and Women
Age, smoking, and lower BMI increase facial wrinkles; men wrinkle more than women, except in old age; pale skin and certain hormonal factors can protect against wrinkles.
research Hypoparathyroidism as the single major component for decades of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1
A man with hypoparathyroidism had other health issues that led to a diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disorder, APS-1.
research The cat with alopecia
Cats lose fur due to various reasons, including allergies, infections, genetics, hormones, diet, cancer, stress, and some conditions are treatable while others are not.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
UK medical students lack dermatology education, liver biopsy patients with risk factors show more fibrosis, and certain fungi resist drugs due to melanin; genetics may influence female hair loss.
research Scalp biopsy identifies systemic amyloidosis presenting as isolated telogen effluvium: A case report
A scalp biopsy revealed systemic amyloidosis in a woman who initially seemed to have a common hair loss condition.
research The Epithelial Stem Cell Niche in Skin
Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
research Autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex with woolly hair: a report of a new family
Two siblings were found to have a genetic condition causing progressive hair loss and woolly hair, which may often be misdiagnosed.
