Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research KERATINS AND SKIN DISORDERS
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Dermal Mass Aspirate from a Persian Cat
The Persian cat has a skin infection caused by a fungus, treatable with antifungal medication.
