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 Immunology of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, is likely an autoimmune disease with a genetic link, but its exact cause is still unknown.
research Hair Loss in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
People with Inflammatory Bowel Disease often lose hair due to stress, medication side effects, or lack of nutrients, and treatment depends on the specific cause.
research Male-pattern baldness and incident coronary heart disease and risk factors in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study
Male-pattern baldness is weakly linked to some heart disease risk factors but not a strong indicator for heart disease.
