A more sensitive assay was developed to detect enzyme activity converting arginine to citrulline in hair follicles.
research Squarticles as the nanoantidotes to sequester the overdosed antidepressant for detoxification
Tiny particles called anionic squarticles can effectively remove a common antidepressant from the body after an overdose.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research THE EFFECT OF TOPICALLY APPLIED γ‐ORYZANOL ON SEBACEOUS GLANDS
γ‐Oryzanol ointment increases sebaceous gland activity and sebum production.
research Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids Is Developmentally Regulated and Shapes GABAAMiniature IPSCs in Lamina II of the Spinal Cord

research Influence of the alkylsulfonylamino substituent located at the 6-position of 2,2-dimethylchromans structurally related to cromakalim: From potassium channel openers to calcium entry blockers?
New compounds similar to cromakalim were less effective at inhibiting insulin release but improved in solubility and one acted as a calcium entry blocker, not a potassium channel opener.
research Histone deacetylase inhibitors promote neurosteroid‐mediated cell differentiation and enhance serotonin‐stimulated brain‐derived neurotrophic factor gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
HDAC inhibitors help brain cells grow and improve brain function.
research Advances in the understanding of androgen receptor structure and function and in the development of next-generation AR-targeted therapeutics

TAGX-0003 protected hair follicles and reversed alopecia areata in a mouse model.
research Assessing the influence of medications with antagonistic effects on low-dose oral minoxidil in patients with alopecia: A retrospective study
Low-dose oral minoxidil is effective for alopecia even with other medications.
research Effects of 17 α-ethinylestradiol,Norethindrone and Levonorgestrel on Root Growth of Arabidopsis thaliana
Norethindrone and levonorgestrel can enhance or inhibit root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana depending on the concentration.
research Spermidine/spermine-N1-acetyltransferase: a key metabolic regulator
