Research
330-360 / 1000+ results research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Few Simple Sequence Repeats in Human Hair
Human hair keratin genes have unique simple sequence repeats that may help track genetic variations.
research CRABP2 Promotes the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells via the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway
CRABP2 helps increase the growth of cells important for hair growth by activating a specific growth pathway.
research Abstract 1026: A non-apoptotic function for Mcl-1 as an activator of canonical Wnt signaling in keratinocytes
Mcl-1 can activate Wnt signaling in skin cells, promoting growth and possibly cancer.
research A homozygous missense variant in type I keratin KRT25 causes autosomal recessive woolly hair
A genetic variant in the KRT25 gene causes tightly curled hair.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Proteomic analysis of human mesenchymal stromal cell secretomes: a systematic comparison of the angiogenic potential
Wharton's jelly secretomes are best for promoting blood vessel growth.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome, androgen excess, and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women: A longitudinal study based on a United Kingdom primary care database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Oxidative Damage Control in a Human (Mini-) Organ: Nrf2 Activation Protects against Oxidative Stress-Induced Hair Growth Inhibition
Activating Nrf2 protects human hair follicles from oxidative stress and helps prevent hair growth inhibition.
research Differences in reproductive toxicology between alopecia drugs: an analysis on adverse events among female and male cases
Finasteride has a higher risk of reproductive side effects than minoxidil.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction for Hair Loss
Adipose tissue shows promise for hair regrowth, but more research is needed to confirm best practices and effectiveness.
research Persistent Poor Metabolic Profile in Postmenopausal Women With Ovarian Hyperandrogenism After Testosterone Level Normalization
Postmenopausal women with hyperandrogenism didn't have better metabolic health even after their testosterone levels became normal.
research Elucidating the anti-aging mechanism of Si Jun Zi Tang by integrating network pharmacology and experimental validation in vivo
Si Jun Zi Tang may slow aging by affecting specific cell signaling pathways.
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.
research Androgens modulate endometrial function
Androgens affect the function and health of the endometrium.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research Exploring the Mechanism of Platycladi Cacumen in Intervening Androgenetic Alopecia Based on Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Platycladi Cacumen may help treat hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.

research Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Cancer risk in polycystic ovary syndrome patients: Common treatments and future perspectives
PCOS is linked to a higher risk of endometrial cancer but not ovarian or breast cancer, and more research is needed on its role in cancer development and treatment effects.
