The conclusion is that acne, alopecia, and hyperhidrosis are common skin issues with various treatments available, and accurate diagnosis is key for effective management.
research Genetics of Structural Hair Disorders
The document concludes that over 500 genes are linked to hair disorders and this knowledge is important for creating new treatments.
research Characterization of the Cysteine-Rich Calcium-Binding S100A3 Protein from Human Hair Cuticles
Scientists found out how a specific protein in human hair cuticles behaves and is structured.
research The Etiology and Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
The cause of alopecia areata is likely a mix of genetics, immune system issues, and environmental factors, with more research needed to understand it fully.
research Structure and Hair Follicle-Specific Expression of Genes Encoding the Rat High Sulfur Protein B2 Family

Topical spironolactone effectively treats hair loss in women.
research Alopecia in a 19-Month-Old Boy
A 19-month-old boy with a rare hair disorder showed mild improvement with treatment, but his family chose gentle hair care due to limited success.
research Hair Biology and Care Product Ingredients from Marine Organisms
Marine-derived ingredients show potential for hair health but need more human trials to confirm effectiveness.
research Disorders of the Hair and Scalp
The document concludes that while some hair and scalp disorders can be treated, hair loss from destroyed follicles is permanent, and damaged hair can only regrow naturally.
research Higher Serum Ceruloplasmin Levels May Indicate the Role of Oxidative Stress in Onychomycosis
High levels of ceruloplasmin might indicate more severe toenail fungus.
research Alopecia
The document concludes that alopecia has significant social and psychological effects, leading to a market for hair loss treatments.
research Toward Optimal Health: The Experts Respond to Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women is often due to hereditary conditions or stress, and while treatments like minoxidil can help, diagnosis and management require medical guidance.
research The Pathological Dynamics of Androgenetic Alopecia and Its Treatment
Topical spironolactone effectively treats hair loss in women.
research Keratins in Health and Cancer: More Than Mere Epithelial Cell Markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Mucocutaneous Reactions to Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy can cause various skin reactions, with hair loss being the most common, and proper diagnosis and treatment of these reactions are important.
research Cosmetics and Cosmeceutical Applications of Chitin, Chitosan, and Their Derivatives
Chitin and chitosan are useful in cosmetics for oral care, haircare, and skincare, including UV protection and strength improvement.
research Dermal β-Catenin Activity in Response to Epidermal Wnt Ligands Is Required for Fibroblast Proliferation and Hair Follicle Initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Wound Healing and the Use of Medicinal Plants
Some medicinal plants can help heal wounds and may lead to new treatments.
research Drug-Induced Hair Loss and Hair Growth
Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.
research A Novel Human Type II Cytokeratin, K6hf, Specifically Expressed in the Companion Layer of the Hair Follicle
K6hf is a unique protein found only in a specific layer of hair follicles.
research The Role of Vitamins and Minerals in Hair Loss: A Review
Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
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.
research Elemental Hair Analysis: A Review of Procedures and Applications
Hair elemental analysis could be useful for health and exposure assessment but requires more standardization and research.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
