research Identification of an Intronic Regulatory Element Necessary for Tissue-Specific Expression of Foxn1 in Thymic Epithelial Cells
A specific DNA region is crucial for Foxn1 gene expression in thymus cells but not in hair follicles.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Skin-Specific Regulation of SREBP Processing and Lipid Biosynthesis by Glycerol Kinase 5
A gene called Gk5 controls lipid production in the skin and affects hair growth.
research Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors on Lung Function: A Reason for Discontinuation During COVID-19 Pandemic?
5-alpha reductase inhibitors might worsen lung recovery in COVID-19 patients, suggesting a pause in their use.
research A New Tool for Conditional Gene Manipulation in a Subset of Keratin-Expressing Epithelia
The Megsin-Cre transgene is a new tool for genetic manipulation in the skin and upper digestive tract.
research Cutaneous Drug Reactions
Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.
research Regulation of Melanocyte Stem Cells in the Pigmentation of Skin and Its Appendages: Biological Patterning and Therapeutic Potentials
Understanding how melanocyte stem cells work could lead to new treatments for hair graying and skin pigmentation disorders.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-Androgenic and Anti-Hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Signaling and Gene Expression for Water-Tolerant Legume Nodulation
The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can form nodules in waterlogged conditions using a different method that involves plant hormones and specific genes.
research Overexpression of Alfalfa SIMK Promotes Root Hair Growth, Nodule Clustering, and Shoot Biomass Production
Overexpressing SIMK in alfalfa boosts root hair growth, nodule clustering, and shoot biomass.
research COVID-19, Androgens, and Androgenic Alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research Hair Loss and Androgen's Role in the Era of COVID-19
Androgens may worsen COVID-19 and hair loss could indicate the disease's severity.
research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.
research Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research Hormesis And Medicine: Biphasic Dose-Response Relationship
Low doses of some substances can be beneficial, while high doses can be harmful or toxic.
research Laminin-511 Is an Epithelial Message Promoting Dermal Papilla Development and Function During Early Hair Morphogenesis
Laminin-511 is crucial for early hair growth and maintaining important hair development signals.
research Pathways to Inflammation: Acne Pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research The Silver Locus Product (Silv/gp100/Pmel17) as a New Tool for the Analysis of Melanosome Transfer in Human Melanocyte–Keratinocyte Co-Culture
The new assay can track and measure melanosome transfer between skin cells, confirming filopodia's role in this process.
research Defects in Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Oxidative Damage in Muscle of mtDNA Mutator Mice
Defective mitochondrial DNA replication causes aging symptoms and increased oxidative damage in mice.

Dupilumab is being tested for many new skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal conditions.
research What Does Androgenetic Alopecia Have to Do with COVID-19? An Insight into a Potential New Therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Inducing Hair Follicle Neogenesis with Secreted Proteins Enriched in Embryonic Skin
Three specific proteins can turn adult skin cells into hair-growing cells, suggesting a new hair loss treatment.
research Expression Profiling and Cellular Localization of Genes Associated with the Hair Cycle Induced by Wax Depilation
