A mutation in the HR gene causes a rare form of irreversible hair loss in two Kashmiri families. Whole exome sequencing is effective for finding such mutations.

A new mutation linked to partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and prostate cancer was found in a patient unhappy with their female gender assignment.

Different forms of FGF5 either promote or inhibit hair growth.

A new gene variant causes glucocorticoid resistance in a mother and son.

The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.

PCOS is a complex condition with major health impacts, needing more research for better diagnosis and treatment.

Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.

Removing the ATR gene in adult mice causes rapid aging and stem cell loss.

Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.

The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.

Targeting colon cancer stem cells might lead to better treatment results.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.

The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.

Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.

The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
