Most hair loss in children is caused by a few common conditions, and it's important to diagnose these properly and support the child's mental health.

Lysophosphatidic acid is important for skin health and disease, and could be a target for new skin disorder treatments.

Human hair follicles may provide a noninvasive way to diagnose diseases and have potential in regenerative medicine.

A 7-year-old dog with a rare autoimmune disease was euthanized due to severe anemia and poor prognosis.

Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.

Researchers found genetic mutations causing hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in 88% of studied patients and identified new mutations and genetic variations affecting the disease.

Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.

Psychotropic medications can cause skin reactions, including severe conditions like SJS and TEN, and it's important for psychiatrists to recognize and manage these side effects.

Some psychiatric drugs can cause severe hair loss, especially valproic acid, and it's more likely in women or those with thyroid issues or past hair loss.

Chemotherapy often causes hair loss, which usually grows back within 3 to 6 months, but there's no effective treatment to prevent it.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.

Patients with RASopathies are at risk for autoimmune disorders and should be routinely screened.

A new mutation in the hairless gene causes hair loss and skin wrinkling in mice.

Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.

Tyrosine kinases are important in skin autoimmune diseases and could be targets for new treatments.

Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.

Hair loss from mood stabilizers can grow back, but the reasons why are not fully understood.

Hair microscopy is a simple and cost-effective method to help diagnose systemic diseases in children.

Alfredo Rebora suggests a simpler classification for hair loss and a new test for easier diagnosis.

Severe and early hair loss may indicate a higher risk of heart disease.

Fibroblasts are crucial for tissue repair and inflammation, and understanding them can help treat fibrotic diseases.

Some hair loss disorders are caused by genetic mutations affecting hair growth.

Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.

Overexpressing Dsg3 in mice skin causes excessive cell growth and abnormal skin development.

No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.

Lysophospholipids like LPA and S1P are important for hair growth, immune responses, and vascular development, and could be targeted for treating diseases.

Researchers found a way to create cells from stem cells that act like human cells important for hair growth and could be used for hair regeneration treatments.

ΔNp63α helps control a protein that stops cancer cells from spreading.

The four main causes of hair loss in children are fungal infections, pulling out hair, autoimmune hair loss, and stress-related hair shedding.
