research Clin-Alert
In 2002, various drugs caused serious side effects, including vitamin B12 deficiency, heart issues, blindness, hypersexuality, allergic reactions, blood clotting problems, pupil dilation, capillary leak syndrome, muscle breakdown, hepatitis, skin reactions, and lupus.
research Protein Kinase Cε, which Sensitizes Skin to Sun's UV Radiation–Induced Cutaneous Damage and Development of Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Associates with Stat3
Protein Kinase Cε increases skin sensitivity to UV damage and skin cancer risk.
research PD05-05 SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE OF CHELATING AGENTS IN CYSTINURIA
Both penicillamine and tiopronin have significant side effects, but trying the alternative drug can be beneficial if the first is not tolerated.
research O02 Ubiquitomics of CYLD-deficient skin tumours reveals dysregulation of hair follicle keratinocyte processes
CYLD deficiency in skin tumors disrupts hair follicle cell processes and protein secretion.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene mutations in the Dominican Republic.
Different mutations in the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene were found in affected individuals in the Dominican Republic, suggesting no common ancestry.
research Regulation of the metabolic phenotype of human hepatocytes by glucocorticoids and androgens
Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.
research Referee report. For: Phytochemicals With Anti 5-alpha-reductase Activity: A Prospective For Prostate Cancer Treatment [version 3; peer review: 2 approved]
Phytochemicals may offer safer alternatives to synthetic drugs for prostate cancer treatment.
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 Peptidylarginine Deiminase Isoforms Are Differentially Expressed in the Anagen Hair Follicles and Other Human Skin Appendages
PAD enzymes play a key role in hair growth and structure.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
