research Engineered Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells Overexpressing Controlled-Release Insulin Reverse Hyperglycemia in Mice with Type l Diabetes
Genetically modified stem cells from human hair follicles can lower blood sugar and increase survival in diabetic mice.
research Effect of a transcriptional inactive or absent vitamin D receptor on beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis in mice
Mice without active or present vitamin D receptors maintain normal blood sugar control and islet gene expression when calcium levels are normal.
research Mendelian randomization analysis of the causal relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and androgenic alopecia

research ANNOUNCEMENTS
A woman with lupus had hair loss and skin issues that were successfully treated with medications.
research Advances in the management of alopecia areata
New treatments for severe hair loss often fail, but some patients see hair regrowth with specific therapies, and treatment should be tailored to the individual's situation.
research A prospective study of the prevalence of clear-cut endocrine disorders and polycystic ovaries in 350 patients presenting with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia
Most women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia had polycystic ovaries, especially if they had irregular periods.
research Clinical picture, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in children
Children generally have milder SARS symptoms than adults, with good outcomes and no deaths reported, but long-term effects are unclear.
research Alopecia in Rhesus macaques correlates with immunophenotypic alterations in dermal inflammatory infiltrates consistent with hypersensitivity etiology
Hair loss in Rhesus macaques may be caused by a skin allergy-related condition.
research Anaemia and skin disease
Some skin diseases and anaemia are related, and treating the skin condition can often improve the anaemia.
research Immunomodulators in the treatment of cutaneous lymphoma
Immunomodulatory therapies are effective for treating cutaneous lymphoma, particularly in early stages.
