research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Wound Healing and the Use of Medicinal Plants
Some medicinal plants can help heal wounds and may lead to new treatments.
research Transforming growth factor-β in stem cells and tissue homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Recent advances on the mechanisms of kidney stone formation (Review)
Kidney stones form due to factors like urine concentration, calcium deposits, hormones, gut bacteria, and immune response.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research The endocannabinoid system of the skin. A potential approach for the treatment of skin disorders
Targeting the skin's endocannabinoid system could help treat skin disorders.
research Folliculin, the Product of the Birt-Hogg-Dube Tumor Suppressor Gene, Interacts with the Adherens Junction Protein p0071 to Regulate Cell-Cell Adhesion
The protein folliculin, involved in a rare disease, works with another protein to control how cells stick together and their organization, and changes in this interaction can lead to disease symptoms.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: What’s New in Medical Treatment?
New drugs and combination therapies are improving treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms.
research Engineering Cell‐Derived Matrices: From 3D Models to Advanced Personalized Therapies
3D cell-derived matrices improve tissue regeneration and disease modeling.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research c-Kit - The Novel Receptor: Physiological Roles, Downstream Signaling and Implications in Cancer
c-Kit is important for heart regeneration and cancer development.
research Arachidonate 12-Lipoxygenase Inhibitors Promote S100A3 Citrullination in Cultured SW480 Cells and Isolated Hair Follicles
Inhibiting ALOX12 can help hair cuticle maturation by increasing S100A3 citrullination.
research Correlation Between Nongenomic Action of C19-Steroids and COVID-19 Severity
Low testosterone may increase COVID-19 severity in men.
research Paternal Finasteride Treatment Can Influence the Testicular Transcriptome Profile of Male Offspring—Preliminary Study
Father's finasteride use may affect son's fertility and testicular function.
research Characterisation of CD4+ stem cells of the skin and their role in skin homeostasis and tumourigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Tissue Engineering of the Reproductive System
Cell transplantation faces challenges in genitourinary reconstruction, but alternative tissue sources and microencapsulation show promise.
research GPCRs as key regulators in wound healing
GPCRs are vital for wound healing by affecting cell growth and immune response.
research Valproic acid boosts hair follicle stem cell resilience to oxygen-glucose deprivation through autophagy induction and AKT/mTOR suppression
Valproic acid helps hair follicle stem cells survive better in low oxygen and glucose conditions.
research Application of second near infrared fluorescence imaging to trace CelTrac1000-labeled hair follicle epidermal neural crest stem cells in repairing rat facial nerve defects
NIR-II imaging effectively tracked stem cells that helped repair facial nerve defects in rats.
research The role of 3Rs in the age of One Health: where we are and where we’re going
Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.
research Hormonal Control of Cardiac Action Potential Phase 1 Currents in the Brugada Syndrome
Androgens may increase arrhythmias in Brugada Syndrome, while Finasteride could reduce them.
research What do we know about phytotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Some plant-based treatments can help with benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.
research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
