Some growth factors, while important for normal body functions, can cause diseases when not regulated properly.
research Roles of steroid sulfatase in brain and other tissues
Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Bladder Cancer Survival of Men Receiving 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Men taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors before or after bladder cancer diagnosis had a lower risk of dying from the disease.
research Male pattern baldness and risk of incident skin cancer in a cohort of men
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of certain skin cancers, especially on the scalp.
research Telomere dysfunction impairs epidermal stem cell specification and differentiation by disrupting BMP/pSmad/P63 signaling
Telomere damage affects skin and hair follicle stem cells by messing up important growth signals.
research Reduced cell cohesiveness of outgrowths from eccrine sweat glands delays wound closure in elderly skin
Older people's sweat glands are less effective at helping skin wounds heal due to weaker cell connections.
research Prevalence and Etiology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
CCCA is a common scarring hair loss in African descent women, possibly linked to genetics, hair care practices, and health issues like diabetes.
research COPD at the end of life: Predictors of the emotional distress of patients and their family caregivers
Caregiver burden and patient health issues significantly affect emotional distress in both COPD patients and their caregivers.
research Annurca Apple Polyphenols Ignite Keratin Production in Hair Follicles by Inhibiting the Pentose Phosphate Pathway and Amino Acid Oxidation
Annurca apple extract promotes hair growth by changing hair follicle metabolism to boost keratin production.
research No metabolic impact of surgical normalization of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumours
Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.
research Porokeratotic Eccrine Duct and Hair Follicle Nevus (PEHFN) Associated with Keratitis-Ichthyosis-Deafness (KID) Syndrome
