The gene Foxq1, controlled by Hoxc13, is crucial for hair follicle differentiation.
research A Feature-Preserving Hair Removal Algorithm for Dermoscopy Images
The algorithm effectively removes hair from skin images, improving melanoma diagnosis accuracy.
research Delayed-Onset Hemolytic Anemia in Patients with Travel-Associated Severe Malaria Treated with Artesunate, France, 2011–2013
Artesunate is generally safe for severe malaria, but patients should be monitored for delayed anemia after treatment.
research The Pharmacologic Treatment of Muscle Pain
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand how to treat muscle pain with drugs.
research Testosterone Therapy for Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but may cause side effects and is not FDA-approved for this use.
research Baricitinib: From Rheumatoid Arthritis to COVID-19
Baricitinib helps treat several diseases, including COVID-19, but has side effects and needs careful monitoring.
