The PDGF/PDGFR pathway is a potential drug target with mixed success in treating various diseases, including some cancers and fibrosis.

Isotretinoin is highly effective in treating severe acne, rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

Fibromodulin might help reduce scarring if increased in adult wounds like in fetal skin that heals without scars.

Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.

Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.

Women with PCOS face higher risks of diabetes and heart disease, and these risks increase with obesity.

Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.

Hair loss causes stress and affects mental health; treatment and support needed.

Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics rendering of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.

Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

The document concludes that recognizing and treating cutaneous lupus erythematosus early is crucial for managing the skin and potential systemic symptoms.

Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

Lupus affects the body and skin, causing joint pain and skin issues that can be treated with steroids and antimalarial drugs.

Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.

Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.

Liposomes improve drug delivery and reduce skin irritation in dermatology.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

Tofacitinib helped regrow hair in most adolescents with alopecia areata, but more research is needed.

Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.

Horizontally sectioned scalp biopsies are more reliable for diagnosing hair loss in women when three samples are taken instead of one.

Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.

In Italian patients with lupus, the most common skin issue was chronic cutaneous lupus, especially discoid lesions, and nonspecific skin problems occurred in about a third of those with systemic lupus, mainly during active disease.

Microneedles help improve skin appearance and deliver skin treatments effectively, but safety concerns need more research and regulation.

The document concludes that specific cells are essential for hair growth and more research is needed to understand how to maintain their hair-inducing properties.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
