Rosacea is a skin condition with unclear causes, classified into four subtypes.

Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Spironolactone treatment increases the amount of testosterone available in the body.

Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.

Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.

5% and 2% minoxidil solutions effectively promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, with 5% being slightly more effective but having more side effects.

Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.

Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.

Calcium affects where root hairs grow, but other unknown factors determine their growth direction.

Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.

Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.

New 5% minoxidil foam effectively promotes hair growth and is safe for use.

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

Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.

Tempol is safe and may prevent hair loss from brain radiotherapy.

Mouse hair follicle cells briefly grow during the early hair growth phase, showing that these cells are important for starting the hair cycle.

The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
