research Are the cutaneous manifestations during or due to SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 frequent or not? Revision of possible pathophysiologic mechanisms
Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research What causes hidradenitis suppurativa ?—15 years after
Hidradenitis suppurativa is caused by genetic factors, inflammation, bacteria, hormones, and lifestyle factors like obesity and smoking.
research Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 entry through the ACE2/TMPRSS2 pathway: a promising approach for uncovering early COVID-19 drug therapies
Blocking the virus's entry into cells by targeting certain pathways could lead to early COVID-19 treatments.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Use of high dose cyproterone acetate and risk of intracranial meningioma in women: cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate increase the risk of brain tumors in women, but the risk decreases after stopping the medication.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
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 Red Ginseng Extract Promotes the Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
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 Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Surrogate end-points or primary outcomes in clinical trials in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
The document suggests that clinical trials for PCOS should focus on meaningful primary outcomes like live birth rates, rather than less reliable surrogate markers.
research Profile of the progesterone derivative chlormadinone acetate — Pharmocodynamic properties and therapeutic applications
Chlormadinone acetate is a strong, well-tolerated hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy with benefits for menstrual pain and skin conditions.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
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 Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Hormonal activity in commonly used Black hair care products: evaluating hormone disruption as a plausible contribution to health disparities
Common Black hair care products may affect hormone levels and potentially impact health, especially in reproductive and metabolic areas.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research Testosterone therapy in men: Clinical and pharmacological perspectives
Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.
research Expression of AKT1 along with AKT2 in granulosa-lutein cells of hyperandrogenic PCOS patients
The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.
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 Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
