The conclusion suggests that focusing on certain cellular pathways may improve the prevention and repair of hair loss caused by radiotherapy.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research Developmental and functional roles of androgen and interactive signals for external genitalia and erectile tissues
Androgen and Wnt signals are crucial for developing and functioning male genitalia and erectile tissues.
research 863 Molecular basis of hair follicle donor dominance in androgenetic alopecia and sexual dimorphism of the skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research Testosterone protects female embryonic heart H9c2 cells against severe metabolic stress by activating estrogen receptors and up-regulating IES SUR2B
Testosterone protects female heart cells from stress by activating estrogen receptors.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Skin and Hair Disease
Antiandrogen therapies are beneficial for treating skin and hair conditions related to androgen levels.
research Oral administration of berberine represses macrophage activation-associated benign prostatic hyperplasia: a pivotal involvement of the NF-κB
Berberine may reduce prostate enlargement by blocking inflammation.
research 24-Hydroxycholesterol suppresses steroid 5α-reductase-catalyzed conversion in human glioblastoma cell lines: A novel link between brain cholesterol homeostasis and androgen metabolism
24-Hydroxycholesterol reduces DHT formation in brain cancer cells, linking cholesterol and hormone metabolism.
research Thyroid receptor β: A promising target for developing novel anti-androgenetic alopecia drugs
Thyroid receptor β can help develop new drugs to treat hair loss.
research 1408 INDUCTION OF SECRETED WNT FACTOR WISP1/CCN4 BY HUMAN PROSTATE STROMAL CELLS BY MICROENVIORNMENTAL HYPOXIA
Human prostate cells produce more WISP1/CCN4 when there's not enough oxygen.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Impact of estrogens in males and androgens in females
Both estrogens and androgens are important for health in both males and females.
research Acne-associated syndromes: models for better understanding of acne pathogenesis
The document concludes that certain genetic mutations and dietary factors are involved in acne development, and treatments like isotretinoin and diet changes can help manage it.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Experimental and early investigational drugs for androgenetic alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Mitochondria Dysfunction and Inflammation in Traumatic Brain Injury: Androgens to the Battlefront
Androgens like testosterone may help treat traumatic brain injury by reducing mitochondrial stress and inflammation.
