research Genetic determinants of skin ageing: a systematic review and meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies and candidate genes
Certain genes are linked to skin aging, like wrinkles and pigmentation changes.
research Molecular Mechanisms Affecting Development of Animal Fibers and Some Studies on Goats
The article concludes that understanding the molecular processes in hair follicle development can improve the quality of fibers like Angora and cashmere.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Genetic variants in AR and SHBG and resistance to hormonal castration in prostate cancer
Certain genetic variants increase the risk of resistance to hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Genetics of blond hair
Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Mechanisms regulating skin immunity and inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research Molecular mechanisms of viral oncogenesis in humans
Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research The genetics of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata has a complex genetic basis that was not fully understood as of 2001.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Genetic analysis of a novel antioxidant multi-target iron chelator, M30 protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia in mice
M30 is a promising treatment for preventing hair loss during chemotherapy.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research The impact of certain genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms) on incidence and severity of COVID‐19
Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.
research 129 Genetic transformation of keratoacanthoma-type cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma following intralesional chemotherapy
Intralesional chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil and methotrexate may worsen keratoacanthoma-type skin cancer in transplant patients.
research Distinct mechanisms for sebaceous gland self-renewal and regeneration provide durability in response to injury
Sebaceous glands can heal and regenerate after injury using their own stem cells and help from hair follicle cells.
research 194 An underlying mechanism of hair loss in acrodermatitis enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research Developmental Mechanisms Controlling Cell Fate, Evolution of
The conclusion is that grasping how cells determine their roles through evolution is key, with expected progress from new research models and genome editing.
research Genetic alteration of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase subunit expression affects calcium currents and beta-endorphin release in AtT-20 clonal pituitary cells.
Changing protein kinase levels in pituitary cells affects calcium flow and beta-endorphin release.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
Genes related to keratin, skin cell differentiation, and immune functions are key in hedgehog skin and spine development.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the development of skin appendages and immunity in hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
The study found that certain genes are important for hedgehog skin appendage development and immunity, with spines possibly evolving for protection and infection resistance.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Genetic correlation by pedigree analysis in patients diagnosed with PCOS as per Rotterdam’s criteria
PCOS is likely inherited in families, increasing risk for first-degree relatives.
research Minoxidil: mechanisms of action on hair growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research Large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome suggests shared genetic architecture for different diagnosis criteria
The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.
