Blond hair in Solomon Islanders is due to a unique genetic variant, not European ancestry.

Understanding the scalp's blood flow and using delay techniques can improve the success of hair restoration surgeries.

The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.

The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a complex condition that affects women's mental, reproductive, and metabolic health throughout their lives.

Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.

The guidelines suggest lifestyle changes, diet adjustments, and personalized medication to manage dyslipidemia and reduce heart disease risk.

Myo-inositol supplements may improve insulin sensitivity and help with conditions like PCOS and gestational diabetes, but more research is needed.

Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.

Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.

Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.

Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.

Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.

Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.

The document concludes that insulin resistance is key in PCOS development and early treatment is crucial to prevent complications.

The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.

Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.

Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.

Iron deficiency may be related to hair loss, but there's not enough evidence to recommend iron screening or supplements for all hair loss patients.

Lifestyle changes can improve body composition, excess male hormone levels, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.

Women with PCOS are more likely to have impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, especially if they are Asian or obese.

Fluoxetine was not effective in treating hair-pulling disorder in the short term.

Wnt signaling controls whether hair follicle stem cells stay inactive or regenerate hair.

Current treatments for alopecia show no significant long-term benefits.

Taxane chemotherapy can cause skin, hair, and nail side effects, which are often under-reported and can affect patient quality of life.

The document recommends using both clinical evaluation and various measurement methods to assess skin greasiness, considering factors like temperature and hormones.

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.

Gene therapy with the Math1 gene helped regenerate balance-related cells and improve balance in mice.

Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.

Dexamethasone speeds up hair loss in mice, while cyclosporin A slows it down.
