Environmental factors like diet and vitamin levels, especially Vitamin D, can affect autoimmune diseases differently, with lifestyle changes potentially improving outcomes.

The document explains how to create detailed biological pathways using genomic data and tools, with examples of hair and breast development.

A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.

Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.

The document reports findings on genetic research, including ethical concerns about genome editing, improved diagnosis of mitochondrial mutations, solving inherited eye diseases, confirming gene roles in epilepsy, linking a gene to aneurysms, and identifying genes associated with age-related macular degeneration.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

Adding soybean oil to Nonomuraea dietziae increases production of a beneficial compound by improving metabolism and enzyme systems.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

The mTurq2-Col4a1 mouse model shows that cells can divide while attached to stable basement membranes during development.

Uncombable hair syndrome causes frizzy hair and can affect the nervous system, eyes, and ears, often co-occurring with other hair, skin, nail, and teeth conditions, and is linked to three specific gene mutations.

Patients with Discoid Lupus Erythematosus have lower vitamin D and antioxidant levels and higher oxidative stress.

Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.

Myo-inositol supplements may improve insulin sensitivity and help with conditions like PCOS and gestational diabetes, but more research is needed.

Finasteride doesn't effectively treat hair loss in postmenopausal women.

Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.

One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.

Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.

Medications have become the main treatment for enlarged prostate symptoms, replacing surgery and watchful waiting.

The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.

5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.

Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.

FOXO1 is important for wound healing, but its dysfunction in diabetes can slow the healing process.

Human beard hair medulla contains a unique and complex mix of keratins not found in other human tissues.

Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.

Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.

Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.

Some heart drugs show promise for other conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.

Lymphocytes, especially CD8+ T cells, play a key role in causing alopecia areata, and targeting them may lead to new treatments.

Multiphoton microscopy is a promising tool for detailed skin imaging and could improve patient care if its challenges are addressed.
