research Asian Hair: A Review of Structures, Properties, and Distinctive Disorders
Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research Comprehensive molecular and cellular studies suggest avian scutate scales are secondarily derived from feathers, and more distant from reptilian scales
Bird scales evolved from feathers, not reptile scales.
research Integral hair lipid in human hair follicle
Human hair has a protective lipid layer that can be damaged by moisture and treatments, affecting hair growth and health.
research Skin and hair: models for exploring organ regeneration
Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Acanthosis nigricans and the metabolic syndrome
Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition that may indicate a higher risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and more research is needed to understand and treat it.
research The Hair Follicle: An Underutilized Source of Cells and Materials for Regenerative Medicine
Hair follicles are valuable for regenerative medicine and wound healing.
research Parkinson's disease and skin
Parkinson's disease is linked to skin disorders and skin cells help in studying the disease.
research Role of β-Catenin Activation Levels and Fluctuations in Controlling Cell Fate
Proper control of β-catenin activity is crucial for development and preventing diseases like cancer.
research Combined Deletion of the Vitamin D Receptor and Calcium-Sensing Receptor Delays Wound Re-epithelialization
Removing vitamin D and calcium receptors in mice skin cells slows down skin wound healing.

lncRNA XLOC_008679 and gene KRT35 affect cashmere fineness in goats.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
research Androgen receptor modulators: a review of recent patents and reports (2012-2018)
New androgen receptor modulators show promise for treating diseases like prostate cancer and muscle wasting.
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 Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are key for managing rare scalp disorders that cause permanent hair loss.
research A regulatory perspective on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling
The document concludes that PK/PD modeling is important for determining the safe and effective dosages of drugs.
research Preformulation studies of finasteride to design matrix systems for topical delivery
research Single-cell transcriptomics reveals lineage trajectory of human scalp hair follicle and informs mechanisms of hair graying
The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
research Cytoskeletal Regulation of Dermal Regeneration
Targeting the actin cytoskeleton could improve skin healing and reduce scarring.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride increases suicide-related aggressive behaviors and blocks clozapine-induced beneficial effects in an animal model of schizophrenia
Finasteride raises suicide-linked aggression and stops clozapine's positive effects in schizophrenia animals.
research Mesothelial Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction for Skin Rejuvenation
Adipose-derived stem cells show potential for skin rejuvenation and wound healing but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
