New treatments are needed for PCOS that target its genetic, hormonal, and metabolic causes.

Multi-omics techniques help understand the molecular causes of androgenetic alopecia.

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.

A deficiency in the TTC7A gene causes immune problems, gut issues, and hair loss.

Storing hair follicle micrografts for longer times can cause them to enter a state similar to the natural hair shedding phase, which might impact hair transplant results.

The UD-PrOZA program successfully diagnosed 18% of adult patients with rare diseases, often using genetic testing.

The ILDS Newsletter reported on efforts to support albinism patients in Tanzania and dermatological conferences.

Laser treatments can effectively reduce fine wrinkles and improve skin texture.

Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.

FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.

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

Two specific SNPs in the TRPS1 gene cause excessive hair growth by altering the protein's structure.

Two siblings had a rare immune disorder caused by a FOXN1 gene mutation.

A TNFAIP3 gene mutation can cause unusual and varied symptoms of lupus and Sjogren's syndrome.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a specific gene mutation, characterized by aging symptoms and managed by monitoring heart health and using low-dose aspirin.

Damaging mutations in NFKB2 cause a severe and distinct form of primary immunodeficiency with early-onset and often ACTH-deficiency.

Different STUB1 gene mutations cause varied symptoms in autosomal recessive ataxias.

The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.

The document concludes that better targeted treatments are needed for wound healing, and single-cell technologies may improve cell-based therapies.

Most Hairless gene mutations reduce its ability to work with the Vitamin D Receptor, which might explain a certain type of hair loss.

Rare ULBP3 gene changes may raise the risk of Alopecia areata, a certain FAS gene deletion could cause a dysfunctional protein in an immune disorder, and having one copy of a specific genetic deletion is okay, but two copies cause sickle cell disease.

Experts met to improve care for ichthyosis patients in Spain.

The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.

Maintaining DNA integrity in stem cells is crucial to prevent aging and cancer.

Bexxar treatment led to a high response rate in patients with advanced-stage, treatment-resistant follicular lymphoma.

The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.

The document concludes that hormonal biomarkers are key for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men.

Patients with RASopathies have a higher risk of autoimmune disorders and should be routinely screened.

Eating fewer calories may slow aging and removing old cells can increase lifespan in mice.

Fat from the body can help improve hair growth and scars when used in skin treatments.
