research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Acquired scalp alopecia. Part II: A review
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing permanent hair loss in various scalp conditions, and while new treatments are promising, more research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque1
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Selections from current literature: androgenetic alopecia: the science behind a new oral treatment
New oral treatment, finasteride, effectively and safely treats common hair loss.
research Loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream ORF in the human hairless transcript cause Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research ATP-competitive mTOR kinase inhibitors delay plant growth by triggering early differentiation of meristematic cells but no developmental patterning change
Certain inhibitors slow down plant growth by causing early cell specialization without changing the cell development pattern.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research Beyond Expectations
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Determine the Effectiveness of Botanically Derived Inhibitors of 5-α-Reductase in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Natural 5AR inhibitors effectively improve mild to moderate hair loss in men.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of primary cicatricial alopecia is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.
research Clinical and histopathologic features of hair loss in patients with HIV-1 infection
People with late-stage HIV-1 often experience a specific type of hair loss linked to multiple factors, including nutritional issues and immune responses.
research Tissue resident and follicular Treg cell differentiation is regulated by CRAC channels
CRAC channels are crucial for the development and function of specialized immune cells, preventing severe inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
research Novel cosmeceuticals from plants—An industry guided review
Plant-based ingredients are effective and safe for modern skincare products.
research Madarosis: A marker of many Maladies
Losing eyelashes or eyebrows can be a sign of many different health problems and needs a careful approach to treat effectively.
research Role of stem/progenitor cells in reparative disorders
Adult stem cells are important for tissue repair and have therapeutic potential, but more research is needed to fully use them.
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 An X-Linked Gene Involved in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Lesson to Be Learned from Adrenoleukodystrophy
Gene linked to common hair loss found, may lead to new treatments.
research Monilethrix treated with the oral retinoid Ro 10-9359 (Tigason)
