research Function and interactions of the Ysc84/SH3yl1 family of actin- and lipid-binding proteins
The Ysc84/SH3yl1 protein family is important for cell movement and the process of taking in materials by interacting with actin and cell membranes.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance or Chrousos Syndrome: Allostasis Through a Mutated Glucocorticoid Receptor
Chrousos Syndrome is caused by mutations that make the body less sensitive to glucocorticoids, leading to various symptoms and requiring high-dose treatment.
research 194 An underlying mechanism of hair loss in acrodermatitis enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research 192 MicroRNAs and their regulatory interactions in the human hair follicle
The research found that certain microRNAs are important for human hair growth and health.
research 195 Androgen action and 3D culture conditions influence dermal papilla cells inductive properties: the role of Wnt agonists/antagonists balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research 196 The endocannabinoid tone regulates human sebocyte biology
The endocannabinoid system affects oil production and inflammation in skin cells.

Targeting Keratin 17 may help overcome cancer therapy resistance.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research The Human Type II Keratin Gene Cluster on Chromosome 12q13.13: Final Count or Hidden Secrets?
The document concludes that the human keratin gene cluster is complex, with a need for updated naming to reflect over 50 functional genes important for hair and skin biology.
research Premature Greying of Hair (Premature Canities): A Concern for Parent and Child
Genetics, stress, and health issues can cause early hair greying, which affects self-esteem, and there's no cure, only hair dye.
research Ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacology of the Mediterranean dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis L.)
The Mediterranean dwarf palm has medicinal, nutritional, and craft uses, but more research is needed.
research Non-ablative Fractional Laser as an Emerging Treatment for Alopecia Areata
Combining corticosteroids and non-ablative fractional laser therapy may effectively treat extensive alopecia areata.
research Drug-induced changes in hair growth
Some drugs can cause hair loss or growth, but hair usually returns to normal after stopping the drug.
research Keratins in health and cancer: more than mere epithelial cell markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
