research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research An N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea Induced Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Promoter Mutation Provides a Mouse Model for Endogenous Glucocorticoid Excess
Researchers created a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome to study glucocorticoid excess and potential treatments.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Age-related changes in brain and pituitary 5α-reductase with finasteride (Proscar) treatment
Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.
research Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers

research Finasteride inhibits the progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges in a genetic model of absence epilepsy
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Signaling and Gene Expression for Water-Tolerant Legume Nodulation
The tropical legume Sesbania rostrata can form nodules in waterlogged conditions using a different method that involves plant hormones and specific genes.
research A Fatty Acid / Protein Complex in Human Hair
A fatty acid/protein complex in human hair helps protect it from damage.
research Stem Cells in the Wild: Understanding the World of Stem Cells through Intravital Imaging
Intravital imaging helps us better understand stem cells in their natural environment and could improve knowledge of organ regeneration and cancer development.
research Finasteride improves motor, EEG, and cellular changes in rat brain in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy
Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research Histogenesis of keratoacanthoma: histochemical and immunohistochemical study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research TLRgeting Evasion of Immune Pathways in Glioblastoma
Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
research Stress-sensing in the human greying hair follicle: Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) depletion in hair bulb melanocytes in canities-prone scalp
Hair greying is linked to reduced ATM protein in hair cells, which protects against stress and damage.
research Insights on the mechanical behavior of keratin fibrils
Keratin's mechanical properties are influenced by hydrogen bonds and secondary structure, and can be improved with the SPD-2 peptide.
research Biology of Human Hair: Know Your Hair to Control It
Understanding hair biology is key to developing better treatments for hair and scalp issues.
research Characterization of hair lipid images by argon sputter etching-scanning electron microscopy
Hair texture changes with age due to varying levels of lipids.
research Structure and hair follicle-specific expression of genes encoding the rat high sulfur protein B2 family
The B2 genes are crucial for hair growth in rats.
research Protein and amino acid composition of hair from mice carrying the naked (N) gene
The N gene affects the protein makeup of mouse hair.
research Hyperandrogenism from an Ovarian Interstitial-Cell Tumor in an Alpaca
An alpaca acted like a male and couldn't have babies because of a benign tumor in its ovary that caused high testosterone levels.
research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.

Pili anulati may cause hair loss, proper diagnosis and treatment needed.
research Kinetics and Equilibrium of Solute Diffusion into Human Hair
Hair absorbs molecules differently based on their size, charge, and love for water, and less at higher pH; this can help make better hair products.
research Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
