B2m-free HLA variants may be a new class of HLA important in immune responses and diseases.
research Neurosarcoidosis Occurring 6 Years After Onset of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease
VKHD and sarcoidosis may share a common cause.
research Pathophysiology and Nutritional Approaches in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Eating a Mediterranean diet and taking certain supplements may improve symptoms of PCOS.
research A Novel In Vivo Active Pemphigus Model Targeting Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3: A Tool Representing All Pemphigus Variants
New mouse models of Pemphigus show severe symptoms and need better treatments.
research High-Throughput Sequencing to Identify Monogenic Etiologies in a Preselected Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Cohort
Some women with PCOS have rare genetic variants linked to the condition.
research The Genetics of Autism and Steroid-Related Traits in Prenatal and Postnatal Life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Abstracts From The 55th European Society Of Human Genetics Conference: E-Posters
Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.
research Viruses, Variants, and Vaccines: How COVID-19 Has Changed the Way We Look at Skin
COVID-19 and vaccines cause various skin reactions and highlight the need for dermatologists in managing these issues and addressing vaccine distribution disparities.
research Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Infection or COVID-19 Vaccination Effect for Severe Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl: Case Report and Review of the Literature
COVID-19 vaccination may be linked to MIS-C in children, highlighting the need for quick diagnosis and treatment.
research Long-Term Prophylaxis With Androgens in the Management of Hereditary Angioedema in Emerging Countries
Long-term use of androgens can help manage Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) but may cause serious side effects, so alternative treatments with fewer side effects are being considered.
research Influence of Dysbiosis on Scalp Pathology
Imbalance in scalp bacteria can affect hair and scalp health, potentially leading to conditions like hair loss, psoriasis, and dandruff.
research Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Two drugs, finasteride and minoxidil, are approved for hair loss treatment, but new therapies are being developed.
research Characteristics of Phenotypes (Clinical Variants) of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women of Reproductive Age
Most women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have menstrual issues, infertility, acne, and excessive body hair, with the most common type being the non-androgenic phenotype.
research The Association Between Clinical and Biochemical Hyperandrogenism in Women With Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss severity is linked to physical signs of high androgens, not blood hormone levels.
research Psychological Aspects of Hyperandrogenic States in Late Adolescent and Young Women
Young women with high male hormone levels or PCOS often feel more psychological distress and have a lower quality of life.
research Abstracts
The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.
research Acromegaloid Facial Appearance: Case Report and Literature Review
The document concludes that AFA should be considered in patients with acromegaly-like features but normal hormone levels, and more cases need to be identified to understand the condition fully.
research Female-Patterned Alopecia in Teenage Brothers with Unusual Histologic Features
Two teenage brothers had a rare, treatment-resistant form of female-pattern hair loss with unusual scalp changes.
research Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum: Progress in Research Toward Treatment - Summary of the 2012 PXE International Research Meeting
Significant progress was made in understanding PXE, but effective treatments are still needed.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
