research Temporal triangular alopecia and a review of 52 past cases
Most cases of Temporal Triangular Alopecia are found in early childhood and may be related to genetic conditions.
research Selected Disorders of Skin Appendages—Acne, Alopecia, Hyperhidrosis
The conclusion is that acne, alopecia, and hyperhidrosis are common skin issues with various treatments available, and accurate diagnosis is key for effective management.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research The novel mechanisms and applications of exosomes in dermatology and cutaneous medical aesthetics
Exosomes can improve skin health and offer new treatments for skin repair and rejuvenation.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research The non-neuronal and nonmuscular effects of botulinum toxin: an opportunity for a deadly molecule to treat disease in the skin and beyond
Botulinum toxin has potential for treating various skin conditions and improving wound healing.
research Stem cells in embryonic skin development
The origins of many adult skin stem cells are still mostly unknown.
research Acanthosis nigricans, insulin resistance and cutaneous virilism
Patients with acanthosis nigricans often have insulin resistance and signs of increased male hormones, but treatment targeting these male hormones is generally ineffective.
research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Introducing Platelet-Rich Stroma: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Combined for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
New treatment combining PRP and SVF increases hair density in 6-12 weeks for androgenetic alopecia patients.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Aromatase deficiency in a male patient - Case report and review of the literature.
A male with aromatase deficiency improved bone health with estradiol treatment.
research Letter: Platelet-Rich Plasma for Treating Male Pattern Baldness
Injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can increase hair growth rate and density in male pattern baldness.
research Concomitant Use of Hyaluronic Acid and Laser in Facial Rejuvenation
Using hyaluronic acid fillers and laser together is generally safe and effective for facial rejuvenation, but careful planning is needed.
research The cascading pathogenic consequences of Sarcoptes scabiei infection that manifest in host disease
Sarcoptes scabiei infection causes significant health and behavior changes in wombats.
research Estimation of biological heart age using cardiovascular magnetic resonance radiomics
Obesity and lifestyle strongly affect heart aging.
research Serum lipocalin-2 as an insulin resistance marker in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Lipocalin-2 levels are higher in women with PCOS and may indicate insulin resistance.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with atherogenic changes in lipoprotein particle number and size independent of body weight
Women with PCOS have unhealthy changes in their cholesterol particles that are not related to their body weight.
research Immune cell regulation of the hair cycle
Immune cells affect hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments.
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 Deoxycholic acid in the submental fat reduction: A review of properties, adverse effects, and complications
Deoxycholic acid is effective for reducing chin fat but can cause side effects and serious complications, so careful patient evaluation is needed.
