Four genetic risk spots found for hair loss, with WNT signaling involved and a link to curly hair.
research Low Serum Biotinidase Activity in Children with Valproic Acid Monotherapy
Children taking higher doses of valproic acid had lower biotinidase activity, which may lead to biotin deficiency, but biotin supplements could help.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research Biotinidase deficiency: a survey of 10 cases.
Biotin treatment improves symptoms of biotinidase deficiency, but some neurological damage may be permanent.
research Environmental Air Pollutants Affecting Skin Functions with Systemic Implications
Air pollution harms skin health and can worsen skin diseases.
research Low disease activity—irrespective of serologic status at baseline—associated with reduction of corticosteroid dose and number of flares in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus treated with belimumab: A real-life observational study
Belimumab reduces disease activity, steroid use, and flares in lupus patients.
research Transcutaneous implantation of valproic acid-encapsulated dissolving microneedles induces hair regrowth
Tiny needles with valproic acid can effectively regrow hair.
research Comparison of Sequential Cyproterone Acetate/Estrogen Versus Spironolactone/Oral Contraceptive in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Both cyproterone acetate and spironolactone effectively reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Prostate Cancer Early Detection, Version 2.2015

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.
research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research Divergent roles of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the regulation of epidermal development and tumorigenesis
HDAC1 is crucial for skin development and preventing tumors.
research Micropatterned dermal–epidermal regeneration matrices create functional niches that enhance epidermal morphogenesis
