research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
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 Harnessing neuroendocrine controls of keratin expression: A new therapeutic strategy for skin diseases?
Using neurohormones to control keratin can lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research The use of mesenchymal stromal cells in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019
Mesenchymal stromal cells may help treat severe COVID-19, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
research The Changing Landscape of Alopecia Areata: The Translational Landscape
New treatments for hair loss are showing promise due to better understanding of genetics and the immune system.
