research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Reflections and Hypotheses on Etiology and Pathogenesis
FFA's causes may include environmental triggers and genetic factors.
research Considerations in Genetic Counseling of Transgender Patients: Cultural Competencies and Altered Disease Risk Profiles
Genetic counselors should be culturally skilled and aware of transgender patients' unique health risks and needs.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Skin, Genetic Defects, and Aging
Genetic defects and UV radiation cause skin damage and aging.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Abstracts of 42nd National Conference of Association of Clinical Biochemists of India (ACBICON 2015)
