research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Identification of transcriptional targets of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in dermal papilla cells of human scalp hair follicles: EP2 is a novel transcriptional target of Wnt3a
Wnt3a activates certain genes in hair follicle cells, including a newly discovered one, EP2, which may affect hair growth.
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 Skin Manifestations Associated with Autoimmune Liver Diseases: a Systematic Review
Autoimmune liver diseases are likely linked to certain skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Lack of effect of spironolactone on hair shaft diameter in hirsute females
Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.
research Double-stranded RNA induces inflammation via the NF-κB pathway and inflammasome activation in the outer root sheath cells of hair follicles
Double-stranded RNA causes inflammation in hair follicle cells, which may help understand and treat alopecia areata.
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 Phenolsulphotransferase: localization in kidney during human embryonic and fetal development
The enzyme PST is found in developing human kidneys and helps with detoxification and development.
research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research A stain for plucked anagen hairs
A new staining method helps tell growing from resting hairs to diagnose hair loss.
research A Comparative Study of a New Food Supplement, ViviScal®, with Fish Extract for the Treatment of Hereditary Androgenic Alopecia in Young Males
ViviScal®, a food supplement, was found to be highly effective in treating hereditary hair loss in young males, while fish extract showed no impact.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming during contact inhibition-induced quiescence is mediated by YAP-dependent and YAP-independent mechanisms
Quiescent cells have increased mitochondrial activity and ECM gene expression, but reduced glycolysis.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research Manifest hair repigmentation associated with etretinate therapy
An 82-year-old man's white hair regained color after taking etretinate for psoriasis.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphism-Dependent Variation in Prostate-Specific Antigen Concentrations of European Men
Certain genetic variants in the androgen receptor are linked to higher PSA levels, potentially affecting prostate cancer screening outcomes.
research Root hair growth from the pH point of view
pH changes are crucial for root hair growth because they affect enzymes and proteins that control the cell wall and growth.
research Spironolactone in dermatology: uses in acne and beyond
Spironolactone is a low-cost, effective, and generally safe treatment for various skin conditions related to hormones.
research The Negative Regulator CXXC5: Making WNT Look a Little Less Dishevelled
CXXC5 is a protein that prevents hair growth and could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research Lack of endocrine systemic side effects after topical application of spironolactone in man
Topical spironolactone cream doesn't cause hormone-related side effects in the body.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research Nutraceuticals for Healthy Skin Aging
Certain nutrients can help keep skin healthy as we age.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Anti-androgen therapy in dermatology: a review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features of Itch in Patients with Alopecia Areata
