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.

The severity of symptoms in nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia is not determined by CYP21A2 gene variations.

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

Blocking DGAT1 reduces oil gland size in mice and dogs, but only mice experience hair loss.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

Most patients experienced mild to moderate skin problems during a trial for a desmoid tumor treatment.

Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.

Photobiomodulation therapy using red and near-infrared light can reduce inflammation and aid in healing various conditions.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

Special fiber materials boost the healing properties of certain stem cells.

Fatty acid transport protein 4 is essential for skin and hair development.
