September 2016 in “Security science and technology” DNA can predict physical traits like eye and hair color accurately, especially in Europeans, but predicting other traits and in diverse populations needs more research.
March 2024 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.
September 2022 in “Dermato” This review discusses acne tarda, emphasizing its commonality in women and potential links to endocrinological disorders, but reports no new clinical findings and suggests collaboration with specialists for management.
July 2018 in “Journal of College of Medical Sciences-nepal” This study found a significant association between lower serum ferritin levels and chronic diffuse hair loss in women of reproductive age, particularly in cases of alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.
13 citations
,
February 2022 in “JAMA Dermatology” This meta-analysis found that spironolactone use was linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer but not to a significant risk increase for several other cancers, although the evidence certainty was low.
18 citations
,
August 2019 in “Nutrients” In this study, lifelong barley intake in SAMP8 mice was associated with extended lifespan, improved aging-related phenotypes, and beneficial shifts in the intestinal microbiome.
September 2023 in “International Journal of Trichology” This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, the number of follicular stelae in skin biopsies varied by clinical type and severity of the disease, but did not correlate with treatment response.

April 2019 in “Bioscience Reports” In this study, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the RAB5B gene were linked to an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome and associated with specific microRNA binding sites.
2 citations
,
October 2021 in “Skin health and disease” This study found no significant epidemiological or genetic association between androgenetic alopecia and severe COVID-19 in a British cohort, but suggests shared genetic pathways may exist.
21 citations
,
November 2010 in “Journal of molecular medicine” This study found that deleting FoxN1 in specific thymic epithelial cells disrupted the 3D thymic structure and led to age-dependent formation of 2D epithelial cysts, highlighting FoxN1's critical role in thymic morphogenesis.
155 citations
,
December 2003 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this study, the researchers did not confirm previously reported links between AGA and smoking or benign prostatic hypertrophy, but found potential associations with alcohol consumption and lean body mass at age 21 that merit further investigation.
48 citations
,
December 2004 in “Differentiation” This study found that cultured dental papilla cells from various mammals can induce hair follicle regeneration and influence tissue formation, with outcomes dependent on donor age, tooth type, and host environment.
3 citations
,
March 2024 in “iScience” This study found that long-lived proteins in mice, identified across various tissues, may be linked to neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases due to their low renewal rate and increased risk of damage.
October 2021 in “International journal of research in dermatology” This study found no significant associations between dermoscopic findings and the severity or stage of alopecia areata in children, though there was a notable correlation with nail findings.
