research Prediction of Male-Pattern Baldness from Genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research Evolution And Genetic Architecture Of Sex-Limited Polymorphism In Cuckoos
Female cuckoo color differences are linked to their unique genes and help avoid male harassment.
research Expression of Foxi3 Is Regulated by Ectodysplasin in Skin Appendage Placodes
Foxi3 expression in developing teeth and hair is controlled by the ectodysplasin pathway.
research Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Low Transferrin Saturation Levels, and Male-Pattern Baldness
Men with sleep apnea and low iron levels are more likely to have male-pattern baldness, especially if they have a family history of hair loss.
research The Androgen Receptor Gene Polyglycine Repeat Polymorphism Is Associated With Memory Performance In Healthy Chinese Individuals
Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.

High MUC-18/MCAM levels in blood indicate a worse outlook for melanoma patients.
research Study of Seed Hair Growth in Populus Tomentosa, an Important Character of Female Floral Bud Development
Poplar seed hairs grow from the placenta at the ovary base, with endoreduplication playing a key role in their development, and share similar cellulose synthesis processes with cotton fibers.
research The Role of Serum Th1, Th2, and Th17 Cytokines in Patients with Alopecia Areata: Clinical Implications
Alopecia areata severity and treatment response are linked to specific cytokine levels.
research Current Protocols: Alopecia Areata Mouse Models for Drug Efficacy and Mechanism Studies
The C3H/HeJ mouse model is useful for studying and testing treatments for alopecia areata.
