TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.

Alopecia areata causes hair loss, has no cure, and various treatments exist.

Peptide hydrogels heal burn wounds faster and better than standard dressings.

Silver can help prevent and treat infections but its effectiveness varies and should be weighed against costs and side effects.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

Patients with certain skin symptoms and high ANA titers should be monitored for potential systemic lupus.

Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.

The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.

Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.

Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.

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

The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.

Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.

Sonic hedgehog signaling is crucial for hair growth and maintaining hair follicle identity.

Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.

Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.

Modulating BMP activity changes the number, size, shape, and type of ectodermal organs.

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.

Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.

Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.

IL-2 treatment causes skin eruptions and other reversible side effects, and may play a role in psoriasis.

Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.

Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.

People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.

Cancer therapy can cause various skin problems, including hair loss, skin darkening, painful hand-foot syndrome, and severe skin damage.

Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.

PLD is an effective and safer alternative for treating breast cancer.

DHT may increase the risk of heart disease and death in elderly men.

Chemotherapy often causes temporary hair loss, which is distressing and needs better treatment and support.

Laminin-511 is crucial for early hair growth and maintaining important hair development signals.
