research Breast Cancer-Related Neoplastic Alopecia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Hair loss due to scalp metastasis from breast cancer, known as Neoplastic Alopecia, has a better survival rate than other scalp metastases and requires a biopsy for diagnosis.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Mimicking Hair Disorders by Genetic Manipulation of Organ-Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Scientists can mimic hair disorders by altering genes in lab-grown human hair follicles, but these follicles lack some features of natural ones.
