research Poly(rC) Binding Protein 2 Acts as a Negative Regulator of IRES-Mediated Translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)
CCCA is a common hair loss condition in African American women, often inherited and influenced by hairstyling, with unique scalp features detectable by special tools.
research Quantification of the Vitamin D Receptor-Coregulator Interaction
Vitamin D receptor binds similarly to natural and synthetic ligands, affecting gene regulation.

UV radiation causes skin cancer, but sunscreens and certain drugs can help prevent it.
research Bald Thigh Syndrome in Sighthounds: Revisiting the Cause of a Well-Known Disease
Bald thigh syndrome in sighthounds is caused by structural defects in hair shafts due to downregulated genes and proteins.
research Diagnosis and Management of Melanoma of the Scalp: A Review of the Literature
Scalp melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, is often found late due to its hard-to-see location, especially in older men. Early detection, possible treatments, and the role of hairdressers in spotting it early are discussed. More research is needed to improve detection and treatment.
