Long-standing benign tumors can become cancerous, especially in people with weakened immune systems.
research Glandular metaplasia of hair follicles and other responses to vitamin A excess in cultures of rodent skin
Excess vitamin A can cause hair follicles to change into gland-like structures.
research A Transition State Analogue of 5′-Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase Induces Apoptosis in Head and Neck Cancers
MT-DADMe-ImmA can selectively kill head and neck cancer cells without harming normal cells.
research Testosterone Metabolism in the Skin
Increased DHT formation in skin can cause hair loss, acne, and excessive hair growth, and antiandrogens might treat these conditions.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Serum Metabolomics Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
Women with PCOS have different levels of certain fats and proteins in their blood, which could help diagnose the condition.

Coal tar shampoo increases enzyme activity in hair follicles, enhancing carcinogen binding to DNA.
research Prostaglandin metabolism in human hair follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea: a meta-analysis and review of the literature
Adults with polycystic ovary syndrome are much more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea.
research Role of S-Palmitoylation by ZDHHC13 in Mitochondrial function and Metabolism in Liver
ZDHHC13 is important for normal liver function and metabolism, affecting mitochondrial activity.
research Impact of the Different Preparation Methods to Obtain Autologous Non-Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma (A-PRP) and Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma (AA-PRP) in Plastic Surgery: Wound Healing and Hair Regrowth Evaluation
Different methods of preparing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can affect wound healing and hair regrowth in plastic surgery. Using a kit with specific standards helps isolate PRP that meets quality criteria. Non-Activated PRP and Activated PRP have varying effects depending on the tissue and condition treated. For hair regrowth, Non-Activated PRP increased hair density more than Activated PRP. Both treatments improved various aspects of scalp health.
