research Prevalence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features
Hair loss is common in women with PCOS and is linked to symptoms like acne and excess hair but not to worse metabolic health.
research Higher androgen and estrogen output and less follicular atresia can be induced in healthy ovaries by culturing them with sera from PCOS patients: is PCOS really of intraovarian origin?
PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research Eruptive vellus hair cysts treated with lactic acid: Case report and review of the literature
Lactic acid cream can help improve skin bumps known as eruptive vellus hair cysts.
research Scleromyxedema with neurologic involvement: Therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin
Umbilical cord blood transplantation improved the boy's symptoms despite complications.
research EVALUATING HISTOLOGICAL MODIFICATIONS OF TESTIS AND SPERMATOGENESISIN ADULT MALE RATS ON FINASTERIDE
Short-term finasteride use likely doesn't harm male fertility.
research Oral cyclosporin does not arrest progression of androgenetic alopecia
Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
research Dedifferentiation of committed epithelial cells into stem cells in vivo
Certain mature cells in mouse lungs can turn back into stem cells to aid in tissue repair.
research Vitamin D receptor: molecular signaling and actions of nutritional ligands in disease prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Cutaneous reactions to chemotherapeutic drugs and targeted therapy for cancer
Targeted cancer therapies often cause skin reactions, so dermatologists must manage these effects.
research Expression patterns of three estrogen receptor genes during zebrafish (Danio rerio) development: evidence for high expression in neuromasts
The three estrogen receptor genes are highly expressed in zebrafish neuromasts during development.
research YAP and TAZ are essential for basal and squamous cell carcinoma initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
research Keratinocyte-specific ablation of the NF-κB regulatory protein A20 (TNFAIP3) reveals a role in the control of epidermal homeostasis
A20 protein is crucial for normal skin and hair development.
research Reversing wrinkled skin and hair loss in mice by restoring mitochondrial function
Restoring mitochondrial function in mice reversed their skin wrinkling and hair loss.
research Squalene-Containing Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Promote Percutaneous Absorption and Hair Follicle Targeting of Diphencyprone for Treating Alopecia Areata
Squalene-based carriers improve delivery of a treatment to hair follicles for alopecia areata.
research Exosomes derived from human dermal papilla cells promote hair growth in cultured human hair follicles and augment the hair‐inductive capacity of cultured dermal papilla spheres
Exosomes from human skin cells can stimulate hair growth and could potentially be used for treating hair loss.
research High proliferation and delamination during skin epidermal stratification
High proliferation and cell delamination drive early skin development, while later stages may not rely on cell division orientation.
research De novo single-nucleotide and copy number variation in discordant monozygotic twins reveals disease-related genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research Anthralin/dithranol in dermatology
Anthralin is effective for psoriasis and alopecia with minimal systemic side effects but can irritate the skin.
research CAG Repeat Testing of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism: Is This Necessary for the Best Clinical Management of Hypogonadism?
Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research A population‐based nested case–control study: the use of 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors and the increased risk of osteoporosis diagnosis in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
Taking finasteride for benign prostate hyperplasia may increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially at higher doses.
research An Investigation of Apoptosis in Androgenetic Alopecia
Apoptosis contributes to hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research The use of polyethylenimine–DNA to topically deliver hTERT to promote hair growth
Using polyethylenimine-DNA to deliver the hTERT gene can stimulate hair growth and may be useful in treating hair loss, but there could be potential cancer risks.
research Minoxidil–2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes: characterization and in vivo evaluation of an aqueous solution for hair growth in rats
Minoxidil mixed with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in water can improve hair growth more than minoxidil alone.
research In vivo penetration of bare and lipid-coated silica nanoparticles across the human stratum corneum
Lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrate human skin more deeply than bare silica nanoparticles.
research Forensics in dermatology: Part II
Dermatologists play a key role in identifying and documenting signs of abuse and injury for forensic investigations.
research Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Janus Kinase Inhibitors Used in Alopecia Areata: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Baricitinib and deuruxolitinib are effective for treating alopecia areata, but their efficacy depends on the dose.
research Evidence that mirex promotes a unique population of epidermal cells that cannot be distinguished by their mutant Ha-ras genotype
Mirex seems to promote a unique group of skin cells different from those affected by another tumor promoter, TPA.
