Mutant mice help researchers understand hair growth and related genetic factors.

Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.

Markers CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are present in skin cancer environments and may influence their development.

A 12-year-old boy in rural south India had a rare skin condition causing hair loss and inability to sweat.

The Engrailed-1 gene plays a key role in the development of sweat glands in mice.

Humans evolved to have less hair and more sweat glands than chimpanzees and macaques.

Using quantitative traits in genetics can improve understanding and management of skin health and conditions.

VEGFR-2 is active in hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and skin on the human scalp.

Benign skin adnexal tumors are more common than malignant ones, with trichoepithelioma and chondroid syringoma being the most frequent types.

The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing skin diseases in ferrets.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation, stretch marks, and changes in hair, nails, and sweat glands, with most resolving after birth.

Benign skin tumors need accurate diagnosis to ensure proper treatment.

Researchers improved a method to study individual cells in newborn mouse skin and found a way to assess the severity of a skin condition in humans.

Transglutaminase activity is important for skin and is found in both mammals and birds.

Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.

The model better predicts how water-loving and fat-loving substances move through the skin by including tiny pores and hair follicle paths.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin disease caused by the breakdown of the skin's natural immune barriers, especially around hair follicles.

Sweat glands and hair follicles are determined by opposing signals, with BMPs promoting sweat glands and blocking BMPs leading to hair follicles.

The document concludes that proper recognition and treatment of skin appendage disorders are important for management.

The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.

Giving a special protein to dogs with a certain genetic disease improved their symptoms but didn't help with hair growth.

Skin stem cells maintain and repair the outer layer of skin, with some types being essential for healing wounds.

Obesity affects skin health, causing conditions like acanthosis nigricans and may require different treatment approaches.

Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.

The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.

Propylthiouracil can cause hair loss, reduced sweating, and nail issues, but stopping the drug can reverse hair and nail problems.

Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.

A woman with hair loss had a benign sweat duct tumor found during a scalp biopsy.
