research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men
Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research Nutrition and the deleterious side effects of nutritional supplements
Taking too many vitamin and mineral supplements can cause serious health problems.
research Mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene in four patients with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets
Four patients with a type of rickets and hair loss had different mutations in their vitamin D receptor gene, causing it to not work properly.
research Evaluation of androgen receptor gene as a candidate gene in female androgenetic alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Role of liposomal anthracyclines in the treatment of multiple myeloma
Liposomal anthracyclines are effective and safer for treating multiple myeloma, especially in elderly patients.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Defining the identity of mouse embryonic dermal fibroblasts
Researchers identified specific genes that are important for mouse skin cell development and healing.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Topical minoxidil helps treat female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss
No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
research CCN2 modulates hair follicle cycling in mice
The protein CCN2 controls hair growth by affecting hair follicle formation and stem cell activity in mice.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research Morphogenesis and maintenance of the 3D thymic medulla and prevention of nude skin phenotype require FoxN1 in pre- and post-natal K14 epithelium
FoxN1 gene is essential for proper thymus structure and preventing hair loss.
research Alopecia in Epidermolysis Bullosa
The document suggests that certain protein deficiencies and scalp blistering in Epidermolysis Bullosa may cause hair loss.
research Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another
Some diseases can improve the outcomes of other diseases, leading to new treatment possibilities.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research How Should Educators and Publishers Eliminate Racial Essentialism?
Educators and publishers should focus on teaching racism as the cause of health inequity and ensure fair use of race in materials.
research Developmental genetics of color pattern establishment in cats
Cat color patterns are determined early in development by gene expression and epidermal changes, with the Dickkopf 4 gene playing a crucial role.
research Analysis of the FGF gene family provides insights into aquatic adaptation in cetaceans
Whale genes show changes that help them live in water, like less hair and better flippers.
research The dermatological consequences of obesity
Obesity increases the risk of skin infections, inflammatory conditions, and melanoma, but not basal cell carcinoma.
research An incompletely penetrant novel MAFB (p.Ser56Phe) variant in autosomal dominant multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis syndrome
