research The role of B cell-activating factor system in autoimmune diseases: mechanisms, disease implications, and therapeutic advances
BAFF-targeted therapies can reduce autoimmune disease activity, but more research is needed for precise treatments.
research Unexpected Autocrine Role of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Squamous Cell Carcinoma
VEGF helps squamous cell carcinoma grow in ways beyond just blood vessel formation.
research Androgenetic alopecia: Update on etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.

research Modeling Oxidative Stress-Linked Telogen Effluvium Using Monte Carlo Simulation of Published Trichoscopy Norms and Cannabis Exposure Distributions
Higher cannabis exposure may lead to increased hair loss.
research Uncombable hair syndrome and beyond
Uncombable hair syndrome causes frizzy hair and can affect the nervous system, eyes, and ears, often co-occurring with other hair, skin, nail, and teeth conditions, and is linked to three specific gene mutations.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Skin, Genetic Defects, and Aging
Genetic defects and UV radiation cause skin damage and aging.
research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors in patients with rapidly progressive alopecia areata
Patients with rapidly progressive alopecia areata often have a better outlook and shorter disease duration, with regrown fine hairs and no past alopecia being positive signs.
