research Hair removal using an Nd: YAG laser system.
Nd:YAG laser can reduce hair with multiple treatments, but permanent removal isn't guaranteed.
research Inhibition of glycosphingolipid synthesis reverses skin inflammation and hair loss in ApoE−/− mice fed western diet
Blocking certain fat production can reverse skin inflammation and hair loss.
research Mutational spectrum in 101 patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and breakpoint mapping in independent cases of rare genomic rearrangements
Researchers found genetic mutations causing hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in 88% of studied patients and identified new mutations and genetic variations affecting the disease.
research Acne in women
Acne is common in women, often hormone-related, negatively affects quality of life, and requires various treatments.
research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors in androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat hair loss in men and women, but may cause side effects like low libido and depression.
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 Docetaxel and oxaliplatin in the second-line treatment of platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: a phase II study
Docetaxel and oxaliplatin are effective and have manageable side effects for recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.
research The ITGB6 gene: its role in experimental and clinical biology
The ITGB6 gene is important for tissue repair and hair growth, and mutations can lead to enamel defects and other health issues.
research Relationship Between Male Pattern Baldness and the Risk of Aggressive Prostate Cancer: An Analysis of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
Men with baldness at the front and top of their head at age 45 may have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research New approaches to the treatment of osteoporosis
Future osteoporosis treatments should focus on increasing bone growth, with many promising options available.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Review of Cardiovascular Findings in Humans Treated with Minoxidil
Minoxidil may cause heart changes; use caution and monitor patients with heart conditions.
research An N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea Induced Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Promoter Mutation Provides a Mouse Model for Endogenous Glucocorticoid Excess
Researchers created a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome to study glucocorticoid excess and potential treatments.
research Promotion of hair follicle development and trichogenesis by Wnt-10b in cultured embryonic skin and in reconstituted skin
Wnt-10b is important for starting hair growth and developing hair follicles.
research Isolation and Characterization of Sweat Gland Myoepithelial Cells from Human Skin
Human sweat glands contain stem cells capable of self-renewal and forming different cell types.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Guidelines for the Use of Acitretin in Psoriasis
Acitretin is effective for severe psoriasis and can be used long-term due to no immunosuppression, but must be carefully monitored for side effects and is not for pregnant women.
research Nuclear Factor I-C Regulates TGF-β-dependent Hair Follicle Cycling*
Nuclear Factor I-C is important for controlling hair growth by affecting the TGF-β1 pathway.
research Testosterone levels in relation to oral contraceptive use and the androgen receptor CAG and GGC length polymorphisms in healthy young women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Hair keratin KRT81 is expressed in normal and breast cancer cells and contributes to their invasiveness
The hair keratin gene KRT81 is found in both normal and breast cancer cells and helps them invade surrounding tissues.
research Group IID, IIE, IIF and III secreted phospholipase A2s
Different sPLA2 enzymes affect immunity, skin and hair health, reproduction, and may be potential targets for therapy.
research The HPV16 oncogenes cause aberrant stem cell mobilization
HPV16 oncogenes disrupt the normal activity of hair follicle stem cells.
research The therapeutic use of topical contact sensitizers in benign dermatoses
Topical contact sensitizers can treat certain skin conditions but are rarely used in the U.K.
research Clinical Case Notes. Tamoxifen optic neuropathy
A boy with chromosome 13q deletion syndrome developed eye cancer, a woman with breast cancer lost vision due to a rare side-effect of her treatment, a man's vision worsened after using a hair loss drug, and two rare disorders were discussed. Optical Coherence Tomography is useful for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.
