PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Endocrine and Reproductive Effects of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Losing 5-10% body weight can improve PCOS symptoms, letrozole is better than clomiphene for fertility, and managing weight and blood sugar is important to reduce pregnancy complications.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research Sexuality and old age
Older adults still engage in sexual activities but face challenges like health issues and lack of professional support, highlighting the need for better healthcare provider education and research on sexual fulfillment in old age.
research Proprietary Herbal Extract Downregulates the Gene Expression of Il-1 and #945; in HaCaT Cells: Possible Implications Against Nonscarring Alopecia
A herbal extract may help treat certain types of hair loss by reducing a specific gene's activity.
research Human Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With a Constant Expression of Testosterone Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
research A Study of the androgen receptor gene polymorphism and the level of expression of the androgen receptor in androgenetic alopecia among Egyptians
The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.
research Cryptic Patterning of Avian Skin Confers a Developmental Facility for Loss of Neck Feathering
Birds can lose neck feathers due to a genetic change that increases a gene's activity, helping them adapt to heat.
research Fisetin Promotes Hair Growth by Augmenting TERT Expression
Fisetin, a type of polyphenol, may help hair grow by increasing certain protein activities in cells.
research Antiandrogen Drugs Lower Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels in Hirsute Subjects: Evidence That Serum PSA Is a Marker of Androgen Action in Women1
Antiandrogen drugs can reduce PSA levels in women with excess hair, suggesting PSA is a sign of male hormone activity in women.
research Anti-androgenetic effect of diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol may help treat hair loss better than current medications.
research Finasteride inhibits melanogenesis through regulation of the adenylate cyclase in melanocytes and melanoma cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
research Hair growth-promoting activity of ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, an industrial crop-derived functional material
Ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng promotes hair growth and could be a natural alternative for treating hair loss.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Coumarin Derivatives Isolated from Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study of Their Binding to Androgen Receptors Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Scopolin and scopoletin from Merremia peltata leaves may help treat hair loss and showed promising results in rabbit tests.
research A Natural Inhibitor, 1′S-1′-Acetoxychavicol Acetate, Against Testosterone-Induced Alopecia via NADPH Oxidase Regulation
1′S-1′-Acetoxychavicol acetate may help treat hair loss by reducing oxidative stress.
research Bioengineered polyester nanoparticles for the synergistic treatment of androgenic alopecia via the suppression of 5α-reductase and knockdown of androgen receptor
