research Alopecia Areata Susceptibility Variant in MHC Region Impacts Expressions of Genes Contributing to Hair Keratinization and Is Involved in Hair Loss
A gene variant increases the risk of a type of hair loss by affecting hair protein production.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
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.

HLA-DRB5 and other genes may be linked to alopecia universalis.
research The Mechanisms and Management of Age-Related Oxidative Stress in Male Hypogonadism Associated with Non-Communicable Chronic Disease
Managing oxidative stress might help treat low testosterone and related chronic diseases in aging men.
research The Important Role of Leptin in Modulating the Risk of Dermatological Diseases
Leptin, a hormone from fat cells, affects immune responses and can influence skin diseases and hair growth.
research Emerging Roles of Sox6 in the Renal and Cardiovascular Systems
Sox6 is important in heart and kidney health, affecting diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
research Epigallocatechin-3 Gallate Inhibits STAT-1/JAK2/IRF-1/HLA-DR/HLA-B and Reduces CD8 NKG2D Lymphocytes in Alopecia Areata Patients
EGCG may help treat alopecia areata by blocking certain immune responses and reducing specific harmful immune cells.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: A Review for Dermatologists
Vitamin D is important for skin health, but more research is needed to understand its full effects and treatment potential.
research An Epistatic Effect of KRT25 on SP6 Is Involved in Curly Coat in Horses
The genes KRT25 and SP6 affect curly hair in horses, with KRT25 also causing hair loss. If both genes are mutated, the horse gets curly hair and hair loss. KRT25 can hide the effect of SP6.
