Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.
research Sex hormones and acne
Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research HMGB1 promotes hair growth via the modulation of prostaglandin metabolism
A protein called HMGB1 helps hair grow by affecting prostaglandin metabolism.
research Proteomics as a tool to improve novel insights into skin diseases: what we know and where we should be going
Proteomics combined with other technologies can lead to a better understanding of skin diseases.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research New Insights into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations from HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Epidermal retinol dehydrogenases cyclically regulate stem cell markers and clock genes and influence hair composition
Enzymes involved in Vitamin A metabolism affect hair growth and type in mice.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Hyaluronic acid-FGF2-derived peptide bioconjugates for suppression of FGFR2 and AR simultaneously as an acne antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research Ovine placental steroid synthesis and metabolism in late gestation†
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Understanding the Secular Decline in Testosterone: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Clinical Perspectives
Lifestyle changes and environmental strategies can help address declining testosterone levels.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the formation and seasonal changes of nuptial pads in Rana chensinensis
Nuptial pads in Chinese brown frogs change seasonally due to specific gene activity.
research Drug Repurposing against KRAS Mutant G12C: A Machine Learning, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Study
Afatinib, neratinib, and zanubrutinib could be effective against KRASG12C-mutant tumors.
research Consensus position statement on emerging treatments in dermatology by the Association of Cutaneous Surgeons of India Task Force
Most emerging dermatological treatments lack strong evidence and require more research.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research 316 Specialized ribosomes in human dermal fibroblast senescence
Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.
research 313 Different polyamine levels in the vertex and occipital hair of pattern hair loss patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
research 016 Anesthetics Prior to Keloid Injections: A Painless Approach
Using lidocaine before keloid injections makes the treatment more comfortable for patients.
research Paternal Finasteride Treatment Can Influence the Testicular Transcriptome Profile of Male Offspring—Preliminary Study
Father's finasteride use may affect son's fertility and testicular function.
research Recent Progress in Prostaglandin F2αEthanolamide (Prostamide F2α) Research and Therapeutics
New research on prostamide F2α has led to treatments for glaucoma and eyelash growth and may have more medical uses.
research The Current Status of the Pharmaceutical Potential of Juniperus L. Metabolites
Juniperus plants contain compounds with potential for developing various medical treatments.
research Alleviation of Multidrug Resistance by Flavonoid and Non-Flavonoid Compounds in Breast, Lung, Colorectal and Prostate Cancer
Some natural compounds may help overcome drug resistance in certain cancers, but more research is needed.
research 9. Immunology and Genetics
The document concludes that Borrelia afzelii causes a skin condition in France, a gene is linked to hair loss in Caucasian women, and various genetic mutations affect skin diseases.
research Oxidative stress management in the hair follicle: Could targeting NRF2 counter age‐related hair disorders and beyond?
Activating NRF2 might help treat hair disorders by improving antioxidant defenses.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
Depressed teens have different steroid levels in urine, which may help identify and treat them.
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.
