Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may help us understand hair follicle stem cell disorders and suggest new treatments.
research Acne as a chronic systemic disease
Acne is a chronic disease linked to various systemic conditions and has significant psychological and social effects.
research Apoptosis May Explain the Pharmacological Mode of Action and Adverse Effects of Isotretinoin, Including Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin's effects and side effects, like birth defects and depression, might be due to it causing cell death in various cells.
research Association between the D19S884 marker at the insulin receptor gene locus and polycystic ovary syndrome
There's no significant link between the D19S884 marker at the insulin receptor gene and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Hair follicle and interfollicular epidermal stem cells make varying contributions to wound regeneration
Different skin stem cells help heal wounds, with hair follicle cells becoming more important over time.
research Hair Shaft Abnormalities – Clues to Diagnosis and Treatment
Hair problems can be caused by genetics or the environment, and treatment should focus on the cause and reducing hair damage.
research Diet in dermatology: Revisited
Certain diets can affect skin conditions, but more research is needed to understand these relationships fully.
research The Contribution of Endogenous and Exogenous Factors to Male Alopecia
Genetic and environmental factors, like smoking and exercise, affect male hair loss.
research Melanocyte and gonad activity as potential severity modifying factors in C3H/HeJ mouse alopecia areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Female pattern hair loss: Clinico-laboratory findings and trichoscopy depending on disease severity
Genetics affect early female hair loss, severity depends on duration, and low ferritin levels not significant.
research Ancient Genomes Reveal the Evolutionary History and Origin of Cashmere-Producing Goats in China
Ancient Chinese goats evolved cashmere-producing traits due to selective breeding, particularly in genes affecting hair growth.
research The biology of hair shape
Hair shape is determined by genetic, molecular, and cellular factors.
research Emerging concepts about prenatal genesis, aberrant metabolism and treatment paradigms in polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS may start before birth, involves metabolic issues, and can be treated with drugs like metformin and lifestyle changes.
research Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis Due to a Frameshift Mutation in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Exhibits Extensive Phenotypic Variability within a Pakistani Family
A specific gene mutation causes varying hair loss severity in a Pakistani family.
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 An epidemiological study of androgenic alopecia in 3114 Korean patients
Smoking and drinking worsened hair loss in men with genetic hair loss, while eating and sleeping habits didn't; genetics played a bigger role than environment in hair loss.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research The twisting tale of woolly hair: a trait with many causes
New genes linked to woolly hair have been found, which could help treat it and change hair texture.
research Pigmentation and Pregnancy
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and moles don't significantly change, but many women experience pigmentation changes due to hormones and sun exposure.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: possible familial aetiology in two African families from South Africa
The conclusion is that hair loss from CCCA may be genetic and not solely caused by hair grooming practices.
research Symmetrical alopecia in the dog
The conclusion is that a systematic approach is key for treating symmetrical alopecia in dogs, but treatment may not always be necessary.
research The Association between Exercise and Androgenetic Alopecia: A Survey-Based Study
More exercise might link to hair loss, but other factors also matter.
research Responses of prolactin and hair growth to selection for age at puberty in Angus cattle
Selecting Angus cattle for earlier puberty lowers prolactin levels but doesn't affect hair growth.
research Prior facility affects alopecia in adulthood for rhesus macaques
Where a rhesus macaque used to live can affect its chances of getting alopecia later in life, and females are more likely to be affected than males.
research Abstracts
Young HS patients often have other physical and mental health issues, and research on HS covers a wide range of topics including genetics, triggers, treatments, and the need for more data.
