Skin lymphatic vessels are essential for hair growth.
research Sulfation of minoxidil by multiple human cytosolic sulfotransferases
Minoxidil breakdown varies by enzymes, affecting hair loss treatment effectiveness.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Forensic DNA phenotyping: A promising tool to predict human appearance for forensic purposes

research Spectrum of Phenotypes Associated with Human MC1R Variations
MC1R gene variations affect skin, hair color, UV sensitivity, and melanoma risk.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Secondary Syphilis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Infected Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM): A Case Report
HIV-infected men who have sex with men are at higher risk for aggressive syphilis, but treatment and tests are effective.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel insertion mutation in the human hairless gene
Researchers found a new mutation causing total hair loss from birth.
research A Novel Missense Mutation Affecting the Human Hairless Thyroid Receptor Interacting Domain 2 Causes Congenital Atrichia
A specific gene mutation causes congenital hair loss.

research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Wigs and hairpieces: Evaluating dermatologic issues
Doctors should suggest hair replacement based on personal needs and stress scalp cleanliness to avoid skin problems.
research In Vitro Suppression of Human Lymphocyte Activity by Minoxidil
Minoxidil may help hair growth by stopping immune system attacks on hair follicles.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
