research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Collagen-Heparin-FGF2-VEGF Scaffolds Induce a Regenerative Gene Expression Profile in a Fetal Sheep Wound Model
Collagen-heparin-FGF2-VEGF scaffolds can improve skin healing.
research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Effect of Ficus carica leaf extract on the gene expression of selected factors in HaCaT cells
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat skin disorders by reducing inflammation and androgen effects in skin cells.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
research Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the treatment of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11-hydroxylase deficiency
Gastric bypass surgery improved a woman's hormonal disorder without the need for medication.
research Steroidogenic enzymes in skin.

Inhaled substances in e-cigarettes can cause hormone imbalances similar to congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Cloning, expression and characterization of rhesus macaque types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: evidence for mechanism-Based inhibition by finasteride
Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.
research Hypoxia Treatment of Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes the Growth of Dermal Papilla Cells via HIF-1α and ERK1/2 Signaling Pathways
Treating fat stem cells with low oxygen boosts hair growth cell growth through specific signaling pathways.
research Diverse origins of fibrinolytic enzymes: A comprehensive review
Exploring fermented foods from various regions can lead to discovering new fibrinolytic enzymes.
research In vitro selective inhibition of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 by finasteride, and prediction of in vivo drug–drug interactions
Finasteride affects UGT1A4 enzyme, but not enough to cause issues when combined with other drugs.
research Treatment of Nonclassic 11-Hydroxylase Deficiency with Ashwagandha Root
Ashwagandha root improved symptoms of nonclassic 11-hydroxylase deficiency in an elderly woman.
research Wound Healing Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Model of Leptin-Deficient Mice—A Mechanistic Systematic Review
Leptin-deficient mice, used as a model for Type 2 Diabetes, have delayed wound healing due to impaired contraction and other dysfunctional cellular responses.
research The Role of Cytochrome P-450 in Dermatology
