Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research Overexpression of Hedgehog Signaling Is Associated with Epidermal Tumor Formation in Vitamin D Receptor–Null Mice
Lack of vitamin D receptor increases skin tumor risk by boosting hedgehog signaling.
research Towards Dissecting the Pathogenesis of Retinoid-Induced Hair Loss: All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Premature Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen) by Upregulation of Transforming Growth Factor-β2 in the Dermal Papilla
All-trans retinoic acid causes hair loss by increasing TGF-β2 in hair follicle cells.
research Physical Changes, Laboratory Parameters, and Bone Mineral Density During Testosterone Treatment in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria
Testosterone treatment effectively causes male physical development in transgender male adolescents but may lead to side effects like acne, higher BMI and blood pressure, lower good cholesterol, and decreased bone density.
research Novel mechanisms for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the skin and in skin cancer
Vitamin D receptor helps prevent skin cancer and supports skin health.
research Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) Negatively Regulate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Epithelial:Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling
SARMs may be an effective treatment for a certain type of breast cancer by blocking cancer growth and spread.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Menopause and aging, quality of life and sexuality
Menopause and aging can affect women's quality of life and sexuality, but hormone therapies may help alleviate these issues.
research Non polycystic ovary syndrome–related endocrine disorders associated with hirsutism
Hirsutism can be caused by various conditions besides PCOS, and it's important to treat the underlying issue and manage symptoms with medication and cosmetic approaches.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Effect of finasteride on behavioural arousal and somatosensory evoked potentials in fetal sheep
Finasteride may affect fetal brain development and increase arousal, but more research is needed for safety confirmation.
research New drugs under investigation for the treatment of alopecias
New treatments for hair loss show promise, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Identification of novel glucocorticoid receptor-regulated genes involved in epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle differentiation
Glucocorticoid receptors help regulate genes important for skin health and hair growth.
research Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ−Mediated Signaling Regulates Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in Human Hair Follicle Epithelium
PPAR-γ signaling improves mitochondrial function in hair follicles, potentially affecting hair growth and aging.
research Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4): new insight immune and aging
TLR4 is important in aging-related diseases and could be a new treatment target.
research Family planning 2011: better use of existing methods, new strategies and more informed choices for female contraception
The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.
research Single-cell profiling reveals a potent role of quercetin in promoting hair regeneration
Quercetin significantly helps hair growth by activating hair follicles and improving blood vessel formation around them.
research Protease-Activated Receptor-1 (Thrombin Receptor) Is Expressed in Mesenchymal Portions of Human Hair Follicle
PAR-1 may play a role in hair growth regulation in human hair follicles.
research The atypical ‘hippocampal’ glutamate receptor coupled to phospholipase D that controls stretch‐sensitivity in primary mechanosensory nerve endings is homomeric purely metabotropic GluK2
A special receptor in sensory nerve endings helps control how they respond to stretching.
research Essential Role of STAT3 Signaling in Hair Follicle Homeostasis
STAT3 signaling is important for healthy skin and hair follicles, and its disruption can lead to skin conditions like atopic dermatitis.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research A randomized phase II trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade therapy versus combined androgen blockade therapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma – the DUCT study protocol
Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
