research Hirsutism: Evaluation and Treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Congenital Hair Loss Disorders: Rare, But Not Too Rare
Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.
research Genetic Basis of Alopecia Areata
More research is needed to understand the genetic causes of Alopecia areata to develop better treatments.
research De Novo Single-Nucleotide and Copy Number Variation in Discordant Monozygotic Twins Reveals Disease-Related Genes
The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.
research Divergent Neuroactive Steroid Responses to Stress and Ethanol in Rat and Mouse Strains: Relevance for Human Studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Characterization of X-Linked SNP Genotypic Variation in Globally Distributed Human Populations
The research concluded that selection significantly shaped the genetic variation of the X chromosome, with certain regions affected by past selective events.
research Hair Physiology and Its Disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Rare and Common Genetic Determinants of Metabolic Individuality and Their Effects on Human Health
Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.
research Genetic Hair Disorders: A Review
The conclusion is that genetic testing is important for diagnosing and treating various genetic hair disorders.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and SCD1 and SOAT1 Activity
Runx1 controls fat-related genes important for normal and cancer cell growth, affecting skin and hair cell behavior.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research An Update of the Pathogenesis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: What Does the Current Evidence Tell Us?
The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
research Unraveling the Molecular Mechanisms of Hair and Nail Genodermatoses
Genetic discoveries are key for understanding, diagnosing, and treating inherited hair and nail disorders.
research Review of Human Hair Follicle Biology: Dynamics of Niches and Stem Cell Regulation for Possible Therapeutic Hair Stimulation for Plastic Surgeons
Understanding hair follicle biology and stem cell control could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Tsukushi Is Involved in Wound Healing by Regulating the Expression of Cytokines and Growth Factors
Tsukushi helps control inflammation and aids in wound healing.
research An Epidemiological Study of Androgenic Alopecia in 3114 Korean Patients
Smoking and drinking worsened hair loss in men with genetic hair loss, while eating and sleeping habits didn't; genetics played a bigger role than environment in hair loss.
research Pemphigus Vulgaris in Only One of Two Monozygotic Twins
Genetic factors alone might not cause pemphigus vulgaris; other factors like birth complications and puberty may trigger it.
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 AKR1D1 Regulates Glucocorticoid Availability and Glucocorticoid Receptor Activation in Human Hepatoma Cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research The Genetics of Seborrheic Dermatitis: A Candidate Gene Approach and Pilot Genome-Wide Association Study
No strong genetic link to other skin conditions was found, but some genetic factors may make people more likely to get seborrheic dermatitis.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: Possible Familial Aetiology in Two African Families from South Africa
The conclusion is that hair loss from CCCA may be genetic and not solely caused by hair grooming practices.
research Development and Ex-Vivo Skin Permeation Studies of Finasteride–Poly(Lactic Acid-Co-Glycolic Acid) and Minoxidil–Chitosan Nanoparticulate Systems
Nanoparticles show potential for controlled release of hair loss drugs, improving treatment effectiveness.
research DMBA/TPA Treatment Is Necessary for Basal Cell Carcinoma Formation from Patched Deficient Epidermal Cells in Ptch Flox/Flox CD4Cre +/- Mice
Genetic mutation and carcinogen treatment are both needed for skin cancer to develop in these specific mice.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Ligand-Independent Regulation of the Hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
