research Analysis of genetic polymorphisms of steroid 5α-reductase type 1 and 2 genes in Korean men with androgenetic alopecia
Gene differences may affect baldness treatment response in Korean men.
research CircRNA-0100 positively regulates the differentiation of cashmere goat SHF-SCs into hair follicle lineage via sequestering miR-153-3p to heighten the KLF5 expression
A circular RNA helps cashmere goat hair cells become hair follicles by blocking a molecule to boost a gene important for hair growth.
research Alopecia in a Viable Phospholipase C Delta 1 and Phospholipase C Delta 3 Double Mutant
Mutations in Plcd1 and Plcd3 together cause severe hair loss in mice.
research Disruption of anthrax toxin receptor 1 in pigs leads to a rare disease phenotype and protection from senecavirus A infection
Removing anthrax toxin receptor 1 in pigs prevents Senecavirus A infection and causes a rare disease similar to GAPO syndrome.
research Shedding light on therapeutics in alopecia and their relevance to COVID-19
Some alopecia treatments might help treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research ESGCT and FSGT Collaborative Congress Helsinki, Finland September 17–20, 2015 Abstracts
The congress highlighted new gene therapy techniques and cell transplantation methods for treating diseases.
research Genetic Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of IL-16 and its Concentration of Patients Infected with Alopecia Areata in Diyala Province, Iraq
Certain genetic variations in IL-16 may increase the risk of alopecia areata.
research Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy syndrome (APECED) due to AIRET16M mutation in a consanguineous Greek girl
An 11-year-old Greek girl was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and family history.
research Familial 1q22 microduplication associated with psychiatric disorders, intellectual disability and late-onset autoimmune inflammatory response
A specific genetic change is linked to mental disorders, intellectual disability, and possibly autoimmune disease in a family.
research Screening for 21-hydroxylase–deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia among hyperandrogenic women: a prospective study
Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.
research Transgenic Kallikrein 14 Mice Display Major Hair Shaft Defects Associated with Desmoglein 3 and 4 Degradation, Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation, and IL-36 Signature
Mice with extra human KLK14 had hair and skin problems, including weaker cell bonds and inflammation, linked to Netherton syndrome.
research The importance of basonuclin 2 in adult mice and its relation to basonuclin 1
Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research A disease-causing novel missense mutation in the ST14 gene underlies autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome in a consanguineous family
A new mutation in the ST14 gene causes a rare skin and hair disorder in a specific family.
research Successful use of topical minoxidil in the treatment of hypotrichosis associated with desmoplakin mutations
Topical minoxidil helped an 8-year-old boy with a genetic hair disorder grow hair.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research THERAPEUTIC HOTLINE: Genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene and finasteride response in women with androgenetic alopecia mediated by epigenetics
Women with greater androgen sensitivity respond better to finasteride for hair loss.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research FINASTERIDE INHIBITS 5?-REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS: PREDICTION OF ITS THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION IN ANDROGEN-RELATED SKIN DISEASES
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research The Role of Histone Demethylases in Disease
Histone demethylases play a key role in the development of many diseases and may be targets for treatment.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research The E211 G>A Androgen Receptor Polymorphism Is Associated with a Decreased Risk of Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia
E211 G>A gene linked to lower risk of severe prostate cancer and hair loss.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
