research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Psychocutaneous disease
Many skin patients have mental health issues, but few dermatologists are well-versed in treating these conditions.
research Free Androgen Index (FAI): Marker of Premature Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is the best indicator of early hair loss in men before age 30.
research A preliminary observation: Male pattern hair loss among hospitalized COVID‐19 patients in Spain – A potential clue to the role of androgens in COVID‐19 severity
Male pattern hair loss could hint at androgens affecting COVID-19 severity.
research Serum Metabolomics Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
Women with PCOS have different levels of certain fats and proteins in their blood, which could help diagnose the condition.
research c-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
The balance between androgen receptor and p53 is crucial for sebaceous gland differentiation.
research Registrars’ Symposium: Summaries of Papers
Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.
research Oil-in-Water型ナノエマルションに基づく局所経皮送達システムに関する研究
The nanoemulsion system effectively delivers drugs through the skin and shows promise for treating skin conditions.
research Skin connective tissue and ageing
Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.
research Severe steroid-dependent idiopathic angioedema with response to rituximab
A woman with severe angioedema improved significantly after treatment with rituximab.
research Skin Ageing in Women: Pathophysiology and Treatment
The document concludes that skin aging in women can be caused by UV exposure and hormonal changes, and treatments like hormone replacement therapy and various skin therapies can help.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research Hepatic Adenoma in an Adolescent With Elevated Androgen Levels
A teenage girl with high androgen levels and PCOS developed a rare liver tumor, suggesting a possible link between high androgens and the tumor's growth.
research The effects of narrowbands of visible light upon some skin disorders: a review
Visible light can improve skin disorders and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand long-term effects.
research Metabolism and skin diseases
Skin health and diseases are closely linked to metabolic processes.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Mechanical forces in skin disorders
Skin problems can be caused or worsened by physical forces and pressure on the skin.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Lymphoid Enhancer-binding Factor-1 (LEF1) Interacts with the DNA-binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor
LEF1 interacts with Vitamin D Receptor, affecting hair follicle regeneration and this could be linked to hair loss conditions.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Androgens modulate endometrial function
Androgens affect the function and health of the endometrium.
