research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Hyperandrogenism in Adolescent Girls
The conclusion is that a thorough approach is needed to diagnose and manage hyperandrogenism in teenage girls, recognizing its major psychological and health effects.
research Laminin-511, Inducer of Hair Growth, Is Down-Regulated and Its Suppressor in Hair Growth, Laminin-332 Up-Regulated in Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is partly due to decreased laminin-511 and increased laminin-332.
research Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
The document concludes that DAB389-IL2 is promising for treating refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but more research is needed on its effectiveness and side effect management.
research Staphylococcus Epidermidis Cicaria, a Novel Strain Derived From the Human Microbiome, and Its Efficacy as a Treatment for Hair Loss
A new strain of bacteria from the human skin can help prevent hair loss.
research Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Potential and Challenges
Acupuncture may improve reproductive and metabolic functions in PCOS without negative side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
research An Innovation in Suction Assisted Follicular Unit Extraction
The new FUE device improves hair transplant safety and efficiency.
research Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Malassezia Pachydermatis from a Cutaneous Lesion in a California Sea Lion (Zalophus Californianus)
The yeast found in a sea lion's skin lesion was almost identical to that on healthy skin, suggesting environmental factors may affect fungal growth and the cause of the lesion is unclear.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research The Effect of GGC and CAG Repeat Polymorphisms on the Androgen Receptor Gene in Response to Finasteride Therapy in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Fewer GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene improve finasteride treatment for hair loss.
research Deletion of Hoxc13 in Frogs Reveals Key Steps in the Molecular Evolution of Cornified Skin Appendages
Deleting the Hoxc13 gene in frogs shows its crucial role in developing skin structures similar to hair.
research The Vitamin D Receptor as Tumor Suppressor in Skin
Vitamin D and its receptor may help prevent skin cancer.
research Evidence for 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Transactivation by the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research CXCL12 Inhibits Hair Growth Through CXCR4
CXCL12 protein slows down hair growth through its receptor CXCR4. Blocking this can potentially increase hair growth.
research Identification of Ectodysplasin Target Genes Reveals the Involvement of Chemokines in Hair Development
Chemokine signaling is important for hair development.
research Gata6 Promotes Hair Follicle Progenitor Cell Renewal by Genome Maintenance During Proliferation
Gata6 is important for protecting hair growth cells from DNA damage and keeping normal hair growth.
research Evidence for Two Independent Functional Variants for Androgenetic Alopecia Around the Androgen Receptor Gene
Two gene areas linked to male pattern baldness found, more research needed.
research The Impact of VDR Expression and Regulation In Vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research Genetic Dissection of Retinoic Acid Function in Epidermis Physiology
Retinoic acid affects skin and hair health by working with specific receptors, and its absence can lead to hair loss and skin changes.
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 Structure and Development of the Skin and Cutaneous Appendages
Understanding skin structure and development helps diagnose and treat skin disorders.
research Cardiac Outflow Tract Septation Defects in a DiGeorge Syndrome Model Respond to Minoxidil Treatment
Minoxidil treatment improves heart defects in a DiGeorge syndrome model.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma: Alopecia Areata and Autoimmune Destruction of the Hair
PRP is a promising treatment for autoimmune hair loss but its exact workings are not fully understood.
research Hairless: A Nuclear Receptor Corepressor Essential for Skin Function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
research Molecular Regulation of Melanocyte Senescence
The article concludes that while we understand a lot about how melanocytes age and how this can prevent cancer, there are still unanswered questions about certain pathways and genes involved.
