Mutations in the vitamin D receptor cause hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, leading to poor bone health and requiring high calcium doses for treatment.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: reflections and hypotheses on aetiology and pathogenesis
FFA's causes may include environmental triggers and genetic factors.
research Congenital hair loss disorders: Rare, but not too rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research Congenital atrichia and hypotrichosis
The document emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying and classifying genetic hair disorders to help diagnose related health conditions.
research Focal and Generalized Alopecia
The document concludes that hair loss in cats is caused by various factors, including allergies, mites, infections, and hormonal issues, with treatments varying accordingly.
research The role of vasoactive peptides in skin homeostasis—focus on adiponectin and the kallikrein-kinin system
Adiponectin and bradykinin play important roles in skin health and may help treat skin conditions.
research Diseases of the skin. Treatment of scalp disorders.
The document concludes that scalp disorders can be treated with hair washing, specific shampoos, medications, and sometimes surgery or hair transplants, but hereditary baldness is untreatable.
research Analogs of human genetic skin disease in domesticated animals
Some domesticated animals have the same genetic skin diseases as humans, which can help doctors understand human genetic mutations.
research Trichodystrophies: A hair-raising differential diagnosis
The guide helps doctors diagnose hair problems by suggesting a thorough patient history, physical exams, and various diagnostic tools.

research Zebrafish Model of Hereditary Pigmentary Disorders
Zebrafish help understand genetic causes of skin pigment disorders like albinism.
research Secondary Cicatricial and other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."
research Gynostemma pentaphyllum Hydrodistillate and Its Major Component Damulin B Promote Hair Growth-Inducing Properties In Vivo and In Vitro via the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Dermal Papilla Cells
Gynostemma pentaphyllum and its component damulin B could help hair grow by activating certain cell pathways.
research Expression of Signaling Components in Embryonic Eyelid Epithelium
Eyelid cells share signaling components but differ in pathway activity.
research Identification of Hair Growth Promoting Components in the Kernels of Prunus mira Koehne and Their Mechanism of Action
Prunus mira kernels contain components that can promote hair growth in mice.
research Polarized microscopy in genetic hair disorders: case series
Polarized microscopy helps identify hair irregularities in genetic disorders.
research A single arm, exploratory and pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-component water-based herbal supplement in hair growth, density, follicle strength and hair fall in healthy male and female subjects
The herbal supplement improved hair growth, density, and strength without side effects.
research Clinical Snippets
Glycerol may improve wound healing and prevent keloids, a device can measure itch intensity, male pattern baldness is highly heritable, and fumaric acid esters may work for psoriasis by causing cell death in T cells.
research Keratins of the Human Hair Follicle
