Asian hair is generally straight and thick, with unique disorders and properties, and more research is needed to understand it fully.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Profile of tofacitinib citrate and its potential in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis
Tofacitinib citrate is effective for moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis but has safety concerns at higher doses.
research Studying SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and therapeutic responses with complex organoids
Organoids can help study COVID-19 and develop treatments, but face challenges like instability and limited renewal.
research A Review of the FAERS Data on 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: Implications for Postfinasteride Syndrome
The review suggests younger men taking 1 mg finasteride report more side effects, including sexual, skin, metabolic, and psychological issues.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases?
Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Transcriptome and proteome characterization of surface ectoderm cells differentiated from human iPSCs
Blocking TGFβ-RI signaling enhances surface ectoderm differentiation from human stem cells.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Adult epidermal Notch activity induces dermal accumulation of T cells and neural crest derivatives through upregulation of jagged 1
Activating Notch in adult skin causes T cells and neural crest cells to gather, leading to skin issues.
research Cellular senescence in tissue repair: every cloud has a silver lining
Cell aging can be both good and bad for tissue repair.
research Alefacept for Alopecia Areata
Alefacept showed some effectiveness for alopecia areata but needs more research.

Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.
research The influence of interferon on healthy and diseased skin
Type I interferons play a key role in the development of various skin diseases.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals that a Ubiquitin-Mediated Proteolysis Pathway Is Important for Primary and Secondary Hair Follicle Development in Cashmere Goats
The ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway is crucial for hair follicle development in cashmere goats.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Altered resting-state activity in seasonal affective disorder
People with Seasonal Affective Disorder have different brain activity in certain areas when resting.
research Alopecia areata patients show deficiency of FOXP3+CD39+ T regulatory cells and clonotypic restriction of Treg TCRβ-chain, which highlights the immunopathological aspect of the disease
Patients with Alopecia areata have fewer specific immune cells that normally regulate the immune system, which may contribute to the condition.
research Modeling of chronic radiation-induced cystitis in mice
Researchers developed a mouse model that successfully mimics the bladder damage seen in humans after radiation therapy.
research Immune modulation of hair follicle regeneration
Immune cells help regulate hair growth, and better understanding this can improve hair loss treatments.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Role of stem/progenitor cells in reparative disorders
Adult stem cells are important for tissue repair and have therapeutic potential, but more research is needed to fully use them.
research Fatty acids and related lipid mediators in the regulation of cutaneous inflammation
Certain fats in the skin help control inflammation and health, and changing these fats through diet or supplements might treat skin inflammation.
