A higher testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio in PCOS patients may indicate worse metabolic health.
research Major role for 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in the aging male
5-alpha reductase inhibitors help treat prostate issues in aging men, but their role in cancer prevention is debated.
research Evaluation of serum G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER-1) levels in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Alopecia patients have less GPER-1, which might affect hair loss.
research 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 α-Hydroxylase Is Required for Optimal Epidermal Differentiation and Permeability Barrier Homeostasis
The enzyme 25 Hydroxyvitamin D 1 α-Hydroxylase is essential for healthy skin and recovery after skin damage.
research 289 Immortalization of primary human dermal papilla cells by Bmi-1 and TERT

research The effects of minoxidil, 1% pyrithione zinc and a combination of both on hair density: a randomized controlled trial
Minoxidil and pyrithione zinc combo most effectively increases hair density.
research Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and proglucagon expression in mouse skin
Mice skin has components that could help with hair growth and might be used for diabetes treatment.
research The distributions of type IV collagen .ALPHA. chains in basement membranes of human epidermis and skin appendages
Type IV collagen chains vary in different parts of human skin, with specific patterns linked to melanocytes.
research Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Clinical, Biochemical, and Molecular Genetic Study
High levels of TNF-α may contribute to obesity and insulin resistance in PCOS, but not due to the C850T genetic variation.
research 5‐Alpha reductase inhibitors in androgenetic alopecia: Shifting paradigms, current concepts, comparative efficacy, and safety
Dutasteride works better than finasteride for hair loss, with both being safe to use.
research Effect of alpha lipoic acid on smoking-induced skin damage
Alpha Lipoic Acid helps protect skin from smoking damage.
research Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research Bullous Lesions at Polyethylene Glycol Interferon-alpha-2a Inoculation Site in a Hepatitis C Virus-infected Subject
A patient developed a blister at the injection site after hepatitis C treatment.
research Ferulic acid promotes hair growth via estrogen receptor alpha activation in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Ferulic acid may help hair grow by activating certain receptors in cells.

Insulin resistance and nesfatin-1 are linked to acne severity.
research 202 Activation of breast cancer cell proliferation by ROR-alpha through aromatase promoter
ROR-alpha may increase the growth of certain breast cancer cells by boosting aromatase, which could affect breast cancer prognosis.
research 1. Medical Practice; Therapy; Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
