Some breast cancer chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Secreted subtilisin Sub3 from Microsporum canis is required for adherence to but not for invasion of the epidermis
Sub3 is essential for fungus adherence but not for skin invasion.

Some birth control pills have a higher risk of blood clots than others.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research A case of feline paraneoplastic alopecia with secondary Malossezia‐associated dermatitis
Malassezia-associated dermatitis can cause itching in cats with feline paraneoplastic alopecia.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
HIV can cause unusual and severe skin problems that are hard to treat.
research Hair-Cycle-Dependent Expression of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and its Type I Receptor: Evidence for Regulation at the Anagen to Catagen Transition
Parathyroid hormone-related protein helps control hair growth phases in mice.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research Skin disorders in Parkinson’s disease: potential biomarkers and risk factors
Certain skin conditions may indicate or increase the risk of Parkinson's disease.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Nudging hair shedding by antidandruff shampoos. A comparison of 1% ketoconazole, 1% piroctone olamine and 1% zinc pyrithione formulations
All three shampoos reduced dandruff and hair loss, but ketoconazole and piroctone olamine also made hair thicker.
research Whole-Cell Bioprocessing of Human Fetal Cells for Tissue Engineering of Skin
Fetal cells could improve skin repair with minimal scarring and are a potential ready-to-use solution for tissue engineering.
research Management of tinea capitis in childhood
To treat tinea capitis in children, oral antifungal medication is necessary, with newer drugs offering shorter treatment times than the traditional griseofulvin.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine
A new skin-whitening agent using a peptide from wheat is safe and effective at reducing skin pigmentation.
research Medication-Induced Repigmentation of Gray Hair: A Systematic Review
Some medications might reverse gray hair, especially those that reduce inflammation or stimulate pigment production, and vitamin B might help.
