January 2010 in “Plant and Cell Physiology” This study found that a phosphorus starvation-insensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows altered root growth and auxin responses under low phosphate conditions compared to wild-type plants, suggesting a role for LPR1 in regulating these traits.
September 2025 in “Cosmetics” This study found that using a pharmacogenetic panel with 26 SNPs can improve treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia, as overall response rates to minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride were high, and specific genetic markers predicted poor responses to these drugs.
January 2006 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” This study suggests that polymorphisms in the androgen receptor gene's GGC repeat and the combined CAG-GGC triplet repeats are associated with androgenetic alopecia among Han men in Eastern China.
