research NAD⁺ Biology in Ageing and Chronic Disease: Mechanisms and Evidence across Skin, Fertility, Osteoarthritis, Hearing and Vision Loss, Gut Health, Cardiovascular–Hepatic Metabolism, Neurological Disorders, and Muscle
Restoring NAD⁺ may help with aging and chronic diseases, but more research is needed.
research Adrenal causes of endocrine hypertension in childhood or adolescence
Adrenal disorders often cause high blood pressure in young people.
research Analysis of histology and long noncoding RNAs involved in the rabbit hair follicle density using RNA sequencing
Rabbits with high wool production have more hair follicles, influenced by specific long noncoding RNAs.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Analysis of Histology and Long Noncoding RNAs Involved in the Rabbit Hair Follicle Density using RNA Sequencing

research Iron-Deficiency Anemia During Childhood
Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Comparison of finasteride and flutamide in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride and flutamide both reduce hair growth, but finasteride has fewer side effects.
research Cystathionine β‐synthase‐deficient mice thrive on a low‐methionine diet
Mice with CBS deficiency are healthier on a low-methionine diet.

research Integrative Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing Analysis of Skin Tissues with Different Coat Types in Cashmere Goats Across Stages of Hair Follicle Development
The study found that different genes are active in cashmere goats' hair growth stages, which can help improve cashmere production.
research Effects of FGF5-mediated LncRNA on the skin fibroblast growth of Liaoning Cashmere goats
FGF-5 promotes Cashmere goat hair growth by increasing keratin genes and reducing certain LncRNA and target genes.
