research Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research A Neutralizing Prolactin Receptor Antibody Whose In Vivo Application Mimics the Phenotype of Female Prolactin Receptor-Deficient Mice
The antibody 005-C04 blocks prolactin receptors, causing reversible infertility, impaired lactation, and hair regrowth in female mice.
research Perspectives on miRNAs Targeting DKK1 for Developing Hair Regeneration Therapy
Targeting a protein that blocks hair growth with microRNAs could lead to new hair loss treatments, but more research is needed.
research EZH2-mediated inhibition of microRNA-22 promotes differentiation of hair follicle stem cells by elevating STK40 expression
The protein EZH2 blocks microRNA-22, increasing STK40 protein, which helps hair follicle stem cells change and grow hair.
research Proscar@ (Finasteride) inhibits 5α-reductase activity in the ovaries and testes of Lytechinus variegatus Lamarck (Echinodermata: Echinoidea)
Proscar (finasteride) blocks 5α-reductase in sea urchin ovaries and testes, suggesting potential treatment for androgen-related conditions.
