research In Vitro and In Vivo Regulation of SRD5A mRNA Expression of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Extract from Asparagus racemosus Willd. Root as Anti-Sebum and Pore-Minimizing Active Ingredients
Asparagus racemosus root extract reduced sebum and pore size in men but not in women.
research Identification and characterization of an antisense RNA transcript (gfg) from the human basic fibroblast growth factor gene.
Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.
research Human platelet lysate versus minoxidil stimulates hair growth by activating anagen promoting signaling pathways
Both human platelet lysate and minoxidil can promote hair growth, but they affect different genes and cell survival rates.
research Expression profile analysis of dermal papilla cells mRNA in response to WNT10B treatment
WNT10B affects hair growth by altering gene activity in hair cells.
research Effect of Ficus carica leaf extract on the gene expression of selected factors in HaCaT cells
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat skin disorders by reducing inflammation and androgen effects in skin cells.
research Androgen biosynthetic pathways in the human prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Moxibustion improves ovarian function based on the regulation of the androgen balance
Moxibustion may help improve ovarian function by changing androgen levels.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
