research A Distinct Gene Close to the Hairless Locus on Chromosome 8p Underlies Hereditary Marie Unna Type Hypotrichosis in a German Family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
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 Decision Letter: Role of Distinct Fibroblast Lineages and Immune Cells in Dermal Repair Following UV Radiation-Induced Tissue Damage
Different types of sun exposure can damage skin cells and affect healing, with chronic exposure being more harmful, and certain immune cells help in the repair process.
research Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Sweat gland development involves two unique skin cell programs and a temporary skin environment.
research Gene Therapy: Recent Advances and Applications in Dermatology
Gene therapy shows promise for treating skin disorders and cancer, but faces technical challenges.
research Cyproterone Acetate: A Genotoxic Carcinogen?
Cyproterone acetate may cause liver cancer at high doses, but is considered safe at recommended doses for approved uses.
research Fortnightly Review: Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in men is common, treatable, but not curable.
research Candidate SNP Markers of Reproductive Potential Predicted by Significant Change in Affinity of TATA-Binding Protein for Human Gene Promoters
