Female hair loss is often hereditary and can be treated with medication, hair transplants, and lasers.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms (CAG Repeat Lengths) in Androgenetic Alopecia, Hirsutism, and Acne
Shorter CAG repeats may cause hair and skin issues, while longer ones may link to acne.

The MBTPS2 gene variant c.970+5G>A is a common mutation causing IFAP syndrome.
research Human genetic basis of coronavirus disease 2019
Genetic differences affect COVID-19 severity and treatment development.
research Epigenetic control of adult stem cell function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Biological significance of FoxN1 gain-of-function mutations during T and B lymphopoiesis in juvenile mice
FoxN1 overexpression in young mice harms immune cell and skin development.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Induction of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance differentially modulates ferroptosis in uterine and placental tissues of pregnant rats
HAIR may cause fetal loss by triggering different cell death processes in the uterus and placenta.
research ESGCT and FSGT Collaborative Congress Helsinki, Finland September 17–20, 2015 Abstracts
The congress highlighted new gene therapy techniques and cell transplantation methods for treating diseases.
research A Review and Meta-Analysis of the Prevalence and Health Impact of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Among Medical and Dental Students
PCOS affects nearly 25% of female medical and dental students, impacting their academic and social lives.
research Metabolic Regulation of Stem Cells in Aging
Eating less can improve stem cell function and increase lifespan.
research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research The Rho GTPase exchange factor Vav2 promotes extensive age-dependent rewiring of the hair follicle stem cell transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research Abstracts
New treatments and diagnostic methods for various animal skin conditions showed promising results.
research Hair follicle stem cell progeny heal blisters while pausing skin development
Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
research Extraction of mimosine from dried leaves and defatted seed of Leucaena leucocephala and its biodiesel oxidative stability / Norfadhilah Ramli
Mimosine from Leucaena leucocephala can enhance biodiesel stability.
research Functional stem-cell based tissue engineered vascular grafts for high-risk donor populations
Diabetic patients' stem cells make vascular grafts more prone to clots, but new methods may improve grafts.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research The Inflammatory Caspases-1 and -11 Mediate the Pathogenesis of Dermatitis in Sharpin-Deficient Mice
Certain proteins, caspases-1 and -11, are important in the early development of skin inflammation in mice.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research The pioneer factor SOX9 competes for epigenetic factors to switch stem cell fates
SOX9 helps determine stem cell roles by interacting with DNA and proteins that control gene activity.
