research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Minoxidil prevents 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine-induced serotonin depletions: role of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels, Akt and ERK
Minoxidil prevents serotonin loss from MDMA by affecting potassium channels and increasing Akt phosphorylation.
research Roles of steroid sulfatase in brain and other tissues
Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.
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 Investigation by Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Biomarker Candidates for Aging in the Hair Cortex
Certain molecules in hair change with age and could be used for cosmetic treatments.
research The TOR–Auxin Connection Upstream of Root Hair Growth
High energy boosts root hair growth in plants, while low energy stops it.
research Reactive keratin derivatives: A promising strategy for covalent binding to hair
Modified keratin binds better to hair, especially bleached hair.
research Normal and Aging Hair Biology and Structure ‘Aging and Hair'
Hair gets thinner, grayer, and changes texture with age due to genetics, environment, and cellular changes, affecting the growth cycle.
research Regulation of Hair Shedding by the Type 3 IP3 Receptor
The type 3 IP3 receptor is important for controlling hair loss and growth.
research Topical absorption and systemic toxicity
Some chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause serious health problems.
research Finasteride delays the onset of maternal behavior in primigravid rats
Finasteride slows down motherly behavior in first-time pregnant rats.
research Advancements in research on the immune-inflammatory mechanisms mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome in ischemic stroke and the regulatory role of natural plant products
Natural plant products like Proanthocyanidins and curcumin may help treat ischemic stroke by reducing inflammation.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research A medicinal and edible formula YH0618 ameliorates the toxicity induced by Doxorubicin via regulating the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 and FOXO4
The formula YH0618 can reduce the harmful side effects of the chemotherapy drug Doxorubicin and protect healthy cells.
