Zinc deficiency in children can cause skin issues and can be serious if not diagnosed and treated properly.
research Understanding Autoimmunity of Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata
Both vitiligo and alopecia areata involve an immune response triggered by stress and specific genes, with treatments targeting this pathway showing potential.
research Beyond Expectations: The Role of Keratin Intermediate Filament Proteins in Epidermal Integrity
Keratin proteins are crucial for healthy skin, but mutations can cause skin disorders with no effective treatments yet.
research Targeting the Pre-Receptor Metabolism of Cortisol as a Novel Therapy in Obesity and Diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research The Human Type I Keratin Gene Family: Characterization of New Hair Follicle Specific Members and Evaluation of the Chromosome 17q21.2 Gene Domain

FFA's causes may include environmental triggers and genetic factors.
research Clonal Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hydrogels Reveals Intrinsic Differences Between Sox2-Positive and Sox2-Negative Cells In Vitro and In Vivo
Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells have unique characteristics and contribute more to skin and hair follicle formation than Sox2-negative cells.
research Age-Induced Hair Greying: The Multiple Effects of Oxidative Stress
Hair greying is caused by oxidative stress damaging hair follicles and melanocytes.
research Genetic Interplays Between Msx2 And Foxn1 Are Required For Notch1 Expression And Hair Shaft Differentiation
Msx2 and Foxn1 are both crucial for hair growth and health.
research Trans-Species Hair Growth Induction by Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research The Paradox of p53: What, How, and Why?
The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.
research Lamins in Development, Tissue Maintenance, and Stress
Lamins are vital for cell survival, organ development, and preventing premature aging.
