research Structural features of the α-type filaments of the inner root sheath cells of the guinea pig hair follicle
α-type filaments in guinea pig hair follicles have unique structural features.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research Saturable Binding of Finasteride to Steroid 5α-reductase as Determinant of Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride's effect on hair loss and prostate enlargement depends on its binding to an enzyme, with maximum impact at 0.2 mg dose.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research The direct inhibitory effect of dutasteride or finasteride on androgen receptor activity is cell line specific
Dutasteride and finasteride affect different cell types differently.
research <p>Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines</p>
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
![Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Docking of 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one Analogs Containing the Piperazine Moiety](/images/research/2ecf4eed-7dbe-4f1a-83db-739625546cdd/small/31808.jpg)
research Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one (ABO) analogs containing the piperazine moiety
Analog 23 is a promising compound for prostate cancer treatment.
research Effect of ethanol extract of plant mixture on hair regeneration in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6J mice
A plant mixture extract helped grow hair by boosting cell growth and growth factors while blocking a hair loss-related enzyme.
research 5α‐reductase inhibitors: Evaluation of their potential confounding effect on GC‐C‐IRMS doping analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research 878 Individual variation in balance between platelet-secreted growth factors causing contradictory effects on hair follicle could potentially impact response to PRP therapy in patients with scalp hair loss
People respond differently to hair loss treatment with PRP because of individual differences in growth factors from platelets.
research In-silico analysis of papain fibrinolytic mechanism from Carica papaya
Papain from papaya may help treat cardiovascular diseases by breaking down fibrin.
research Equine adipose tissue derived stem cells and their multilineage differentiation
Equine adipose stem cells can become different cell types and are promising for healing injuries.
research 944 Non-coding double stranded RNA induces retinoic acid synthesis and retinoid signaling to control regeneration
Non-coding RNA boosts retinoic acid production and signaling, aiding regeneration.
research 876 Imaging nanoscale changes in desmosome protein organization
Desmoglein 3 organization in cell connections changes without calcium, affecting cell adhesion.
research 879 IL-9 mediated human primary keratinocytes invasion is dependent on MLC controlled contractility and independent of MMP activity
IL-9 increases skin cell movement but decreases their ability to invade, and this effect is controlled by cell contractility, not by MMPs.
research 877 Integration of magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy for exploring the mechanobiology of keratinocyte cell-cell and cell-matrix anchoring junctions
The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
research 874 Elevated expression of osteopontin splice variants in nonmelanoma skin cancer compared to normal skin and adult keratinocytes
Nonmelanoma skin cancers have higher levels of certain osteopontin variants than normal skin.
research Improved forensic hair evidence for drugs of abuse by mass spectrometry
Forensic hair analysis for drugs is now more reliable and accurate.
research Engaging Psychoanalytic Disequilibrium While Being More Human than Otherwise
Analysts should confront their biases and self-interests to improve therapy.
research An efficient method for eccrine gland isolation from human scalp
Scientists developed a way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp during hair transplants, keeping them alive for 6 days for research and cosmetic uses.
research Detecting the Mechanism behind the Transition from Fixed Two-Dimensional Patterned Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) Dermal Papilla Cells to Three-Dimensional Pattern
The study concluded that changing the culture conditions can cause sika deer skin cells to switch from a flat to a 3D pattern, which is important for creating hair follicles.
research Book Reviews
The reviews critique three psychology books, noting skepticism about a personality inventory for teens, praising a practical guide on body image issues, and recommending a book on grief therapy.
