research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
research Characteristics of Androgenetic Alopecia in Asian
Asian hair loss differs from Europeans; consider individual needs and psychological well-being for treatment.
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 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 Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
The hHa7 gene is regulated by androgens in certain body hair, not scalp hair.
research Stem cell-derived motor neurons from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Studying the genetic predisposing factors in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Becker's Nevus with Ipsilateral Breast Hypoplasia: Improvement with Spironolactone
Spironolactone may help enlarge a small breast linked to Becker's nevus.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
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 From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Osteopontin Gene is Expressed in the Dermal Papilla of Pelage Follicles in a Hair-Cycle-Dependent Manner
