research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research The antiandrogenic effect of finasteride against a mutant androgen receptor
Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.
research CLINICAL UPDATES IN HAIR
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Chronic administration of minoxidil protects elastic fibers and stimulates their neosynthesis with improvement of the aorta mechanics in mice
Minoxidil helps protect and rebuild elastic fibers in arteries, improving artery function, especially in older females.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research New Pharmaceutical Concepts for Sebaceous Gland Diseases: Implementing Today’s Pre-Clinical Data into Tomorrow’s Daily Clinical Practice
New treatments for skin conditions related to the sebaceous gland are being developed based on current research.
research β-Catenin–Dependent Wnt Signaling: A Pathway in Acute Cutaneous Wounding [RETRACTED]
The study found that a specific signaling pathway helps skin wounds heal faster but may lead to larger scars.
research LncRNA H19 Overexpression Activates Wnt Signaling to Maintain the Hair Follicle Regeneration Potential of Dermal Papilla Cells
H19 boosts hair growth potential by activating Wnt signaling, possibly helping treat hair loss.
research Perspectives in dermatopathology: telomeres and telomerase in ageing and cancer; with emphasis on cutaneous disease
Short telomeres contribute to aging and cancer, and while telomerase can delay aging, it may also promote cancer.
research The E6/E7 oncogenes of human papilloma virus and estradiol regulate hedgehog signaling activity in a murine model of cervical cancer
HPV genes and estradiol increase a cancer-related signaling pathway, which may be targeted for cervical cancer treatment.
research Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol, Isolated from Ishige okamurae, Increases Prostaglandin E2through the Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in HaCaT Human Keratinocytes
A compound from brown algae boosts the production of a certain inflammatory substance in skin cells.
research Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Increased androgen receptor messenger RNA in frontal-parietal hair follicles of women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
research Analysis of the expression pattern of the carrier protein transthyretin and its receptor megalin in the human scalp skin and hair follicles: hair cycle-associated changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in hidradenitis suppurativa: the link between deviated immunity and metabolism
Increased HIF-1α is linked to the inflammation and severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting treatments that lower HIF-1α could help.
research “Two-Cell Assemblage” Assay: A Simple in vitro Method for Screening Hair Growth-Promoting Compounds
The "Two-Cell Assemblage" assay is a new, simple method to identify substances that may promote hair growth.
research Hair cell toxicology: With the help of a little fish
Zebrafish larvae are used to study and find treatments for ear cell damage because they are easier to observe and test than mammals.
research Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes for organ development and cell‐free therapy
MSC-Exos can aid organ development and offer therapeutic benefits for various conditions.
research Identification of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in canine skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Lymphatic vessel: origin, heterogeneity, biological functions, and therapeutic targets
Lymphatic vessels are essential for health and can be targeted to treat various diseases.
research Construction of regulatory network for alopecia areata progression and identification of immune monitoring genes based on multiple machine-learning algorithms
Researchers found four genes that could help diagnose severe alopecia areata early.
research Ethanol extract of asiasari radix preferentially induces apoptosis in G361 human melanoma cells by differential regulation of p53
Asiasari radix extract may be a potential treatment for melanoma because it selectively triggers cell death in melanoma cells by affecting p53 regulation.
