research 1434 Role of fibroblast DPP4 in wound healing, scarring and regeneration
DPP4 is important for scarring and skin regeneration, and managing its activity could improve skin healing treatments.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research Sex Steroid Hormone Receptors in Human Skin Appendage and its Neoplasms
Sex steroids influence skin appendage function and neoplasm development, with changes in AR and ERalpha in certain gland neoplasms.
research Thymosin β4 Promotes Dermal Healing
Thymosin β4 helps improve skin healing and reduce scarring.
research Pharmacological Activation of Thermo–Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 3 Channels Inhibits Hair Growth by Inducing Cell Death of Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath
Activating TRPV3 channels stops hair growth by killing hair follicle cells.
research Non‐infective mucocutaneous presentations of human immunodeficiency virus infection
Most HIV patients develop skin symptoms that can indicate the stage of their disease.
research Prominent follicular mucinosis with diffuse scalp alopecia resembling alopecia areata
A woman's hair loss, resembling an autoimmune condition, improved after treatment, but requires ongoing checks due to potential serious associations.
research Meta-Analysis of Gene Expression Reveals the Core Transcriptomic Profile of Lesional Scalp in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata involves specific gene changes and immune pathways, offering new treatment targets.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Cutaneous drug reactions
Any drug can cause skin reactions, but antibiotics, NSAIDs, and psychotropic drugs are more common, with some reactions being life-threatening.
research Alymphoid cystic thymic dysgenesis - FOXN1 gene mutation: a rare case report of two siblings
Two siblings had a rare immune disorder caused by a FOXN1 gene mutation.
research INVESTIGATING THE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE PATHOGENESIS OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia areata may be treated by using EGCG to balance immune cells and reduce inflammation.
research YAP and TAZ are essential for basal and squamous cell carcinoma initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Hyperandrogenemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: prevalence, characteristics and association with body mass index
High levels of male hormones are very common in women with PCOS and affect their metabolism differently depending on their weight.
research Epidermal growth factor receptor mutant T790M-L858R-V948R inhibitor from Calophyllum inophyllum L. leaf as potential non-small cell lung cancer drugs
A compound from Calophyllum inophyllum L. leaf may help treat non-small cell lung cancer.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
research Effect of minoxidil on proliferation and apoptosis in dermal papilla cells of human hair follicle
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by increasing cell production and survival.
