Low serum complement levels in SLE patients don't always match with disease flares; monitoring C3 and C4 is useful, but cell-bound complement products might better indicate disease activity.

The TCL1 transgenic mouse model is useful for understanding human B-cell leukemia and testing new treatments.

The research found genetic differences in identical twins that could explain why one twin has a disease while the other does not.

Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.

Kids with early graying hair often have low levels of calcium, ferritin, and vitamin D3.

Activating Notch in adult skin causes T cells and neural crest cells to gather, leading to skin issues.

FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.

Fetal wounds heal without scarring because of different biological factors, which could help improve adult wound healing.

Young women with high male hormone levels or PCOS often feel more psychological distress and have a lower quality of life.

DNA methylation changes are linked to hair growth cycles in goats.

Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.

Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.

The pituitary gland functions normally even after losing most SOX2+ stem cells.

Fat stem cells from diabetic mice can still help heal wounds.

The document reports the first Brazilian case of a girl with Becker nevus syndrome, characterized by skin changes, breast underdevelopment, and scoliosis.

Larger ovarian size is linked to higher insulin resistance in women with PCOS.

The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.

A new mutation in the XEDAR gene might cause a rare skin condition called hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.

Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.

Hair regrowth doesn't convert thin hairs to thick hairs, but increases overall hair density.

Organs like hair follicles can renew themselves in complex ways, adapting to different needs and environments.

A defective protein in progeria causes cell death and atherosclerosis, but a treatment targeting cell stress may reduce these effects.

Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.

Hormonal imbalances may play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogenic drugs combined with steroids are currently the most effective treatment.

Vitamin A may influence hair loss conditions like alopecia, but more research is needed to understand how.

Women treated with X-ray for scalp fungus as children had a higher chance of hair loss, especially with higher radiation doses and severe fungus infections.

The R343H mutation in the VDR gene causes vitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by impairing specific gene activity.

Different hair loss types need accurate diagnosis for proper treatment.
