research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research In That Issue: Proceedings From the Third Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies
The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Androgenetic alopecia may be associated with weaker COVID-19 T-cell immune response: An insight into a potential COVID-19 vaccine booster
Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Hormonal therapy in female pattern hair loss
Hormonal therapies help treat female hair loss, but results are slow and vary.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model
Kelulut Honey can help regulate sex hormone receptors in rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, similar to common medications.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
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 Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An in Silico and in Vitro Study
Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.
research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals
Estrogen and androgen signals control synaptic changes in rat brains.
research Spironolactone and XPB: An Old Drug with a New Molecular Target
Spironolactone, a heart and liver drug, has new uses including cancer treatment, viral infection prevention, and skin condition improvement.
research Roles of steroid receptors in the lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Hair aging and anti-aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research High-throughput and direct measurement of androgen levels using turbulent flow chromatography liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TFC-LC-TQMS) to discover chemicals that modulate dihydrotestosterone production in human prostate cancer cells
Researchers found four natural compounds that can change DHT levels in prostate cancer cells.
research Hétérogénéité tumorale du cancer de la prostate et infection par le SARS-CoV2 : une relation complexe impliquant les vésicules extracellulaires et le récepteur des androgènes
Extracellular vesicles and androgen receptors may help identify prostate cancer resistance and reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection.
research An immune regulatory CCT repeat containing oligodeoxynucleotide capable of causing hair loss in male mice
A specific DNA sequence caused hair loss in male mice by activating immune cells and increasing a certain immune signal.
research Comprehensive clinical management of hirsutism
New treatments for excessive hair growth in women include insulin modulators and enzyme inhibitors.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Antiandrogenic activities ofGlycyrrhiza glabrain male rats
Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
