research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Hair Follicle–Specific Gene, Hacl-1
Researchers found a new gene, hacl-1, that is active in mouse hair follicles during hair growth and may be important for hair biology.
research The structure of hair and follicles of mice carrying the naked (N) gene
Mice with the naked gene have missing or abnormal hair cells.
research The Critical Roles of Serum/Glucocorticoid-Regulated Kinase 3 (SGK3) in the Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
SGK3 is essential for proper hair growth and health.
research Alopecia in children
Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions and is easy to diagnose, but rare types require careful evaluation.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
research Corneodesmosin: Structure, Function and Involvement in Pathophysiology
Corneodesmosin is essential for skin and hair health, and its dysfunction can lead to skin and hair disorders.
research Positive Impact of Fish Oil on Diabetic and Hypercholestrolemic Skin Disorders
Fish oil improves skin health in people with diabetes and high cholesterol.
research Current Genetics in Hair Diseases
Genetic mutations cause various hair diseases, and whole genome sequencing may reveal more about these conditions.
research Cutaneous Epithelial Stem Cells
Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
research Morphogenesis- and Hair Cycle-dependent Expression of Trichohyalin, Peptidylarginine Deiminase Type III and Deiminated Trichohyalin in Rat Dorsal Skin Hair Follicles
THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Clinical Case Notes. Tamoxifen optic neuropathy
A boy with chromosome 13q deletion syndrome developed eye cancer, a woman with breast cancer lost vision due to a rare side-effect of her treatment, a man's vision worsened after using a hair loss drug, and two rare disorders were discussed. Optical Coherence Tomography is useful for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.
research Clinical Case Notes. Intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms
Eye exams are crucial for kids with 13q deletion syndrome, tamoxifen can cause vision loss, Propecia may lead to cataracts, Lipoid Proteinosis causes skin bumps, and OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.
research Clinical Case Notes. Lipoid proteinosis: a rare disorder with pathognomonic lid lesions
A baby boy with 13q deletion syndrome had eye cancer, a woman's vision improved after stopping a breast cancer drug, a man developed cataracts from using Propecia, and a rare skin disorder called Lipoid Proteinosis was discussed. Also, a tool called OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.
research Clinical Case Notes. Propecia-associated bilateral cataract
Taking Propecia might lead to the development of cataracts.
research Clinical Case Notes. Castleman's disease of the lacrimal gland
The document discusses various eye conditions and their treatments, including a rare eye cancer in a baby, vision loss from a cancer drug, cataracts from a baldness treatment, a rare skin disorder, and a specific type of eye disease diagnosed with a special imaging technique.
research Clinical Case Notes. Malignant melanoma in eviscerated eyeball
Finasteride, often used for hair loss, can potentially cause cataracts.
research Clinical Case Notes. Retinoblastoma, microphthalmia and the chromosome 13q deletion syndrome
The document concludes that careful diagnosis is crucial for chromosome 13q deletion syndrome, tamoxifen can cause reversible eye damage, finasteride may be linked to cataracts, and OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.
research Clinical Case Notes. Optical coherence tomography of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy
Multiple eye conditions were studied, highlighting the importance of various imaging methods for diagnosis, the vision side effects of drugs tamoxifen and Propecia, and the usefulness of optical coherence tomography for diagnosing and monitoring macular and retinal diseases.
research Acidic and basic hair/nail ("hard") keratins: their colocalization in upper cortical and cuticle cells of the human hair follicle and their relationship to "soft" keratins.
Hair and nail cells share similar proteins, indicating a common differentiation pathway.
research Epidermal stem cell diversity and quiescence
Epidermal stem cells are diverse and vary in activity, playing key roles in skin maintenance and repair.
