Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.

Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.

Videodermoscopy improves diagnosis of hair and scalp disorders and may reduce scalp biopsies.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.

Some drugs can cause rare but potentially deadly skin reactions, and early treatment and avoiding the drug again are key.

Dermoscopy is a useful tool for identifying features of skin conditions, but more research is needed to define its role in dermatology.

Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.

Stem cells are crucial for skin repair and new treatments for chronic wounds.

Telogen effluvium is a reversible hair loss condition that requires a detailed diagnosis and often resolves on its own.

The document provides a method to classify human hair growth stages using a model with human scalp on mice, aiming to standardize hair research.

WNT10A mutations often cause ectodermal dysplasias, with males showing more tooth issues than females.

Dermoscopy helps diagnose and manage alopecia areata by showing specific hair changes.

ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are crucial for gene regulation, cell differentiation, and organ development in mammals.

Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.

Methotrexate treats various disorders by inhibiting DNA synthesis, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid toxicity and manage side effects.

Superficial granulomatous pyoderma is a unique, mild form of skin disease that often heals without strong medication and responds well to milder treatments.

Effective treatments for male pattern baldness include oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, while topical minoxidil is best for female pattern baldness.

Most people with systemic lupus erythematosus have skin problems, and skin symptoms are often the first sign of the disease.

Keratinocytes help heal skin wounds by interacting with immune cells and producing substances that kill pathogens.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.

Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.
