Primary cicatricial alopecia, a rare disorder causing permanent hair loss, is hard to diagnose and treat, with treatments like anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids offering varied results and no guaranteed cure. Psychological support for patients is important, and future research should aim to identify causes of the condition.

C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.

The study concluded that immune cells attacking hair follicles cause hair loss in alopecia, with genetics and environment also playing a role, and highlighted the potential of certain treatments.

Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.

Scientists discovered that certain stem cells from mice and humans can be used to grow new hair follicles and skin glands when treated with a special mixture.

Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.

Vitamin D might help regulate insulin in the body, but taking Vitamin D supplements doesn't clearly prevent or improve type 2 diabetes. More research is needed.

Canine hair follicles have stem cells similar to human hair follicles, useful for studying hair disorders.

The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.

DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.

sPLA2-X is crucial for normal hair growth and follicle health.

Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.

Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.

A protein called lfTSLP is important in causing allergic and other skin diseases and could be a target for treatment.

Thyroid hormone receptors are essential for hair growth and wound healing.

Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.

Keratosis pilaris is often linked to genetic mutations and causes skin and hair abnormalities, regardless of those mutations.

Mutations in NIPAL4 cause skin issues by disrupting lipid layers, but some improvement is seen with topical treatment.

Breathing in high levels of certain air pollutants significantly increases women's risk of developing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

Vitamin D and calcium are essential for normal hair growth.

Activating Nrf2 can help protect against hearing loss.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 helps repair heart damage after a heart attack by creating new blood vessels, especially in diabetics.

Mice without certain skin enzymes have faster hair growth and bigger eye glands.

The study found key factors in the cause of hidradenitis suppurativa, its link to other diseases, and identified existing drugs that could potentially treat it.

Natural volatiles and essential oils have health benefits and can enhance the effects of some medicines, but more research is needed to understand how they work and their possible side effects.

Leptin, a hormone from fat cells, affects immune responses and can influence skin diseases and hair growth.

The same genetic mutation in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome can lead to different levels of severity, suggesting other factors influence the symptoms.

As skin cells mature, vitamin D receptor levels decrease while retinoid X receptor α levels increase.

Vitamin A is important for healthy skin and hair, influencing hair growth and skin healing, but UV light reduces its levels.
