research Metabolic and Pathologic Profiles of Human LSS Deficiency Recapitulated in Mice
Mice with LSS deficiency showed hair loss and cataracts, similar to humans, and can help in understanding and treating this condition.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecia: Diagnosis and Treatment
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.
research C-Reactive Protein as a Novel Biomarker for Vitamin D Deficiency in Alopecia Areata
High CRP levels could indicate vitamin D deficiency in people with alopecia areata.
research Hypotrichosis and Hair Loss on the Occipital Scalp
A baby girl has a hair disorder called monilethrix, causing fragile hair that may improve over time.

The document suggests a possible link between FAM111B gene mutations and increased cancer risk, particularly pancreatic cancer.
research FOXN1 Deficiency: From the Discovery to Novel Therapeutic Approaches
New treatments for immune disorders caused by FOXN1 deficiency are promising.
research Role of Cholesterol Sulfate in Epidermal Structure and Function: Lessons from X-Linked Ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Eyebrow and Eyelash Alopecia: A Clinical Review
The review shows how to properly diagnose and treat the loss of eyebrow and eyelash hair.
research Analogs of Human Genetic Skin Disease in Domesticated Animals
Some domesticated animals have the same genetic skin diseases as humans, which can help doctors understand human genetic mutations.
research Lamellar Ichthyosis with Pseudoexon Activation in the Transglutaminase 1 Gene
The boy's severe skin disorder is caused by two new mutations in his TGM1 gene.
research Receptors in Trichology: Hot Spots for Hair Regeneration
Vitamin D3 and its receptor are important for hair growth, and understanding receptors could help treat hair graying and skin cancer.
research Genetic Analysis of Interleukin 18 Gene Polymorphisms in Alopecia Areata
Certain IL-18 gene variations may increase the risk of alopecia areata.
research Alopecia Areata Patients Show Deficiency of FOXP3+CD39+ T Regulatory Cells and Clonotypic Restriction of Treg TCRβ-Chain, Highlighting the Immunopathological Aspect of the Disease
Patients with Alopecia areata have fewer specific immune cells that normally regulate the immune system, which may contribute to the condition.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeting 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors to the Hair Follicle
Nanostructured delivery systems could potentially improve hair loss treatment by targeting drugs to hair follicles, reducing side effects and dosage, but the best size, charge, and materials for these systems need further investigation.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis, and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research Biotin Deficiency in Telogen Effluvium: Fact or Fiction?
Biotin deficiency is not a major cause of Telogen Effluvium hair loss.
research Biotinidase Deficiency Characterized by Skin and Hair Findings
