This study found that men with X-linked recessive ichthyosis did not show mutual exclusivity with androgenetic alopecia, as some exhibited advanced hair loss.

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

This study found that X-irradiation affects the differentiation of hair follicles in mice, indicating possible impacts on hair growth.

This study found that the X-ray patterns of stretched mammalian hair (β-keratin) are similar to those of natural silk (fibrion), suggesting a similar elastic mechanism involving reversible intra-molecular transformations.

This study found that a modest increase in dietary zinc over six months resulted in a detectable increase in sulfur and zinc counts in individual hairs, suggesting a non-invasive method to monitor zinc intake effects.

This study found that a single X-radiation treatment in rat skin reduced collagen concentration over multiple hair-cycles by diminishing the fibroblasts' capacity for proline hydroxylation, potentially contributing to delayed skin lesions.

This study found that electron and proton microprobe analysis can reveal differences in element distribution within human hair and epidermis, although no significant water content differences were noted between atopic eczema and normal skin.

This study found that single-dose x-ray irradiation in rat calvaria skin led to morphological changes in collagen fibers, disorganization, and a temporary absence of sebaceous glands and hair follicles.

This study found that perming and bleaching hair result in different distributions of cysteic acid, suggesting distinct damage mechanisms between the two treatments.

This hypothesis paper proposes that men with X-linked recessive ichthyosis may exhibit no androgenetic alopecia or only mild forms, and suggests clinical studies to evaluate this hypothesis.

This case study describes a patient with Turner syndrome who, despite lacking many classic features, presented with multiple autoimmune diseases, suggesting a link between complex X chromosome rearrangements and increased autoimmune risk.

This study found that hair analysis may be useful in early breast cancer detection by identifying distinct calcium and strontium concentration patterns before and during cancer development.

In this study, researchers found a correlation between x-ray patterns and the element composition of human hair, with certain metal roles in the hair matrix considered.

This case report describes a 4.5-year-old boy with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome linked to X-linked recessive ichthyosis, where remission was achieved using cyclosporine, suggesting STS deficiency as a potential genetic cause of the condition.

Women treated with X-ray for scalp fungus as children had a higher chance of hair loss, especially with higher radiation doses and severe fungus infections.

This study identified two types of calcium in human scalp hair shafts: easily removable calcium, likely as calcium soaps, and more stably bound calcium, possibly related to Ca-binding proteins.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

This study reviewed 26 cases of X-linked recessive ichthyosis and observed 11 patients with advanced-stage androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a compensatory role of two steroid biosynthesis pathways.

In this in-vitro study, researchers found that shampoo-induced coacervates structurally resemble cationic polymers and contain anionic surfactants that may stimulate the scalp upon exposure to water.

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

The method effectively maps lead and zinc in hair, aiding understanding of heavy metal exposure risks.

Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

This study reported that X-ray microscopy provides more intact images of hair's internal structure compared to transmission electron microscopy, particularly for observing fine details like cuticle coarsening and cortex cracks.

This article discusses the impact of the tabby mutation on secondary vibrissae and hair follicle patterns in mice and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

This study found that X-irradiation causes hair dysplasia through two mechanisms influenced by oxygen, and cystamine injections after irradiation enhance this effect.

This study highlights a case of a 12-day-old female with Bloch-Sulzberger Syndrome, underscoring the need for early diagnosis based on skin symptoms to manage potential complications in other organs effectively.

This case report of an infant with IPEX syndrome highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment, as the patient experienced severe symptoms and succumbed before stem cell transplantation.

Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.

This study found that despite chemical differences, five different brands of reconstructive hair fibers all provided successful cosmetic results in disguising hair loss in patients.
