research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome—Current Status and Prospects for Gene Therapy Treatment
Gene therapy has potential as a future treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.
research Age-related hair changes in men: Mechanisms and management of alopecia and graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research MOUSE MODELS FOR THE STUDY OF HUMAN HAIR LOSS
Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.
research Origin, Clinical Presentation, and Diagnosis of Facial Hypermelanoses
Facial dark spots can be caused by the sun, genetics, makeup, or medicine, and are diagnosed by patient history and skin tests.
research The character “hairless” in the mouse
Hairless mice lack fur due to a genetic mutation affecting skin response, not hormone issues.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders with Fragility—Part I
Some congenital hair disorders improve in childhood or with treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while others like Netherton syndrome and trichothiodystrophy have a poor prognosis.
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 Deficient Plakophilin-1 Expression Due to a Mutation in PKP1 Causes Ectodermal Dysplasia-Skin Fragility Syndrome in Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dogs
A PKP1 gene mutation causes skin fragility and hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retriever puppies.
research Genetic Hair Disorders: A Review
The conclusion is that genetic testing is important for diagnosing and treating various genetic hair disorders.
research Genome-wide association study of skin complex diseases
Genetic variants linked to ten skin diseases were found, showing both immune and non-immune factors play a role.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: Retrospective Chart Review
The study found that Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia mainly affects middle-aged African descent women, is linked to certain hair care practices and genetics, and often goes undiagnosed for years.
research METHOTREXATE FOR GENERALIZED PUSTULAR PSORIASIS IN A 2-YEAR-OLD CHILD
Methotrexate effectively treated a 2-year-old's generalized pustular psoriasis without side effects.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Review
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia's cause is unclear, affects mainly postmenopausal women, and current treatments focus on stopping hair loss rather than regrowth.
research An update of the pathogenesis of frontal fibrosing alopecia: What does the current evidence tell us?
The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
research The Genetic Architecture of Alopecia Areata
Genetic discoveries are leading to new treatments for alopecia areata.
research Female pattern hair loss
FPHL causes hair loss in women due to genetics and hormones; minoxidil and anti-androgens are treatments, and early intervention is advised.
research Cicatricial Alopecia Research Foundation meeting, May 2016: Progress towards the diagnosis, treatment and cure of primary cicatricial alopecias
The meeting focused on understanding, diagnosing, and finding treatments for irreversible hair loss diseases.
research The Contribution of Endogenous and Exogenous Factors to Female Alopecia
Both genetic and lifestyle factors significantly affect female hair loss.
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 The aetiology and pathogenesis of alopecia areata
The cause of alopecia areata is likely a mix of genetics, immune system issues, and environmental factors, with more research needed to understand it fully.
research PCOS: update and diagnostic approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Perspective and an Insight into Pathogenesis
Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.
research The hairless gene in androgenetic alopecia: results of a systematic mutation screening and a family-based association approach
Hairless gene not strongly linked to baldness.
research Prognosis and Management of Congenital Hair Shaft Disorders without Fragility—Part II
Some congenital hair disorders improve with age and can be managed with treatments like minoxidil, retinoids, supplements, and gentle hair care, but there's no cure.
research The aetiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris - what's new?
Acne is caused by multiple factors including oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and possibly diet and environment.
