,
October 2018 in “Dermatologic Therapy” In this study of Indian patients with pattern hair loss, 40.8% showed low sulfotransferase enzyme activity in hair follicles, with a higher prevalence of low activity in men compared to women.
3 citations
,
May 2025 in “Cell Death and Disease” This study found that METTL1 is upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and promotes cancer cell proliferation and metastasis through its tRNA methyltransferase activity.
3 citations
,
April 2025 in “Nature Communications” This study concluded that the GIANT brain atlas, which integrates genetic and neuroanatomical variations, provides a more accurate representation of brain structure than traditional neuroanatomical atlases, allowing for better exploration of genetic influences on the brain.
2 citations
,
April 2021 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that the culture conditions, not species-specific differences, determined whether sika deer dermal papilla cells adopted a 3D spheroidal or 2D monolayer growth pattern, influencing their hair-inducing ability.
1 citations
,
July 2024 in “PharmacoEconomics - Open” This study indicates that the EQ-5D-5L may not effectively capture the burden of alopecia areata on patients' health-related quality of life, and suggests that alternative measures might better assess treatment benefits related to hair regrowth.
July 2026 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” In this cross-sectional study of healthy urban women in Shanghai, poor sleep quality and elevated perceived stress were linked to various self-reported dermatological issues and clinical signs, reinforcing the potential relevance of psychological factors in skin health.
June 2025 in “International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease” This study suggests that PLA2R1 overexpression in PMN affects the podocyte cycle and may involve an additional immune response, which could provide new directions for PMN treatment development.
July 2024 in “Deleted Journal” This study found that the Ayurvedic program significantly improved hair loss management and increased hemoglobin, serum iron, and ferritin levels among nursing students with iron deficiency anemia, highlighting the program's effectiveness in addressing this condition.
October 2023 in “Al-Anbar medical journal” This study found that a new clinic-based modified hair fall count method is a valid tool for assessing hair loss in women, showing strong association and high precision compared to the conventional home-based method.
September 2023 in “Çukurova medical journal (Online)/Çukurova medical journal” This study observed that EZH2 expression scores in the epidermis, dermis, and hair follicles decrease with gestational age in human fetuses, and these scores were significantly higher in adults, indicating that lower EZH2 levels may be required for full skin differentiation and maturation before birth.
June 2017 in “Journal of clinical and investigative dermatology” This article reviews the genetic associations between MTHFR mutations, homocysteine levels, and autoimmune diseases, without reporting new experimental results.
August 2014 in “Warwick Research Archive Portal (University of Warwick)” This study found that obesity in women may impair endometrial stromal function and contribute to reproductive complications, possibly due to metabolic influences rather than immune cell differences.
October 2023 in “Archives of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This study observed that blepharoptosis surgery resulted in brow lowering at various points on the eyebrow, with the most significant change at the medial canthus. The researchers reported that preoperative brow position was the main predictor of brow height descent after surgery.
February 2021 in “PARIPEX INDIAN JOURNAL OF RESEARCH” This study found that women with PCOS had a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism compared to those without PCOS, especially among the obese PCOS subgroup.
September 2011 in “Clinical Biochemistry” This study indicated that a novel calcium-phosphate nanoflower coating on titanium surfaces had high surface area, low cytotoxicity, and promising cell affinity, suggesting it could be a potential alternative modification method for titanium implants.

February 2013 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism” This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.
18 citations
,
December 2010 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.
