research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research Prevalence of dermatological disorders in Japan: A nationwide, cross-sectional, seasonal, multicenter, hospital-based study
Eczema and fungal infections are the most common skin problems in Japan, with different age groups and genders affected by various conditions.
research British Association of Dermatologists guidelines on the efficacy and use of acitretin in dermatology
Acitretin is effective for severe skin conditions but has significant side effects and requires careful monitoring.
research Adverse effects of isotretinoin: A retrospective review of 1743 patients started on isotretinoin
Most people on isotretinoin had chapped lips, but only a few stopped the medicine due to side effects.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Learning from nudity: lessons from the nude phenotype
The Foxn1 gene mutation causes hairlessness and immune system issues, and understanding it could lead to hair growth disorder treatments.
research Mutant laboratory mice with abnormalities in hair follicle morphogenesis, cycling, and/or structure: annotated tables
Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: clinical criteria
The document concludes that hirsutism is the main sign for diagnosing hyperandrogenism, which requires a detailed patient history and physical exam.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research PCOS in adolescents
PCOS in teens is hard to diagnose, linked to genetics and lifestyle, and managed with weight loss and medication.
research The cycling hair follicle as an ideal systems biology research model
The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.
research Reorganization of hair follicles in human skin organ culture induced by cultured human follicle-derived cells
Injected human hair follicle cells can create new, small hair follicles in skin cultures.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Adrenal steroid hormone concentrations in dogs with hair cycle arrest (Alopecia X) before and during treatment with melatonin and mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research A Feature-Preserving Hair Removal Algorithm for Dermoscopy Images
The algorithm effectively removes hair from skin images, improving melanoma diagnosis accuracy.
research What controls hair follicle cycling?
The control system for hair growth cycles is not well understood and needs more research.
research Wnt signaling: the good and the bad
Wnt signaling is important for development and cell regulation but can cause diseases like cancer when not working properly.
research Steroid plant hormones: Effects outside plant kingdom
Plant steroid hormones show growth, health, and medicinal benefits in various organisms, including potential for treating diseases.
research Dutasteride improves male pattern hair loss in a randomized study in identical twins
Dutasteride helps slow hair loss and boosts hair growth.
research Guidelines for the management of androgenetic alopecia (2010)
Use minoxidil for hair loss treatment, and finasteride for men.
research Positive lymphocyte transformation test in a patient with allergic contact dermatitis of the scalp after short-term use of topical minoxidil solution
Patient had scalp allergy from minoxidil; test helped identify cause and suggest alternative treatments.
research Exclamation marks and other trichoscopic signs of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Chemotherapy can cause hair changes similar to alopecia areata, which might lead to misdiagnosis.
research Polyamines and hair: a couple in search of perfection
Polyamines are important for hair growth, but more research is needed to understand their functions and treatment potential.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Restoration of hair growth in mice with an alopecia areata-like disease using topical anthralin
Topical anthralin helped regrow hair in mice with a condition similar to human alopecia.
research Oestrogen receptor evaluation in Pomeranian dogs with hair cycle arrest (alopecia X) on melatonin supplementation
Melatonin helped some Pomeranian dogs regrow hair, but it wasn't linked to estrogen receptors.
