research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Skin-derived stem cells as a source of primordial germ cell- and oocyte-like cells
Skin-derived stem cells can become various cell types, including germ cell-like and oocyte-like cells.
research Selective inhibition by minoxidil of prostacyclin production by cells in culture

Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research Bone mineral density in hyperandrogenic amenorrhoea
Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
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.

Blocking IL-12/IL-23 does not help with hair loss in alopecia areata for mice or humans.
research Structural and dynamic insights into substrate binding and catalysis of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase
The research explains how a human enzyme binds and processes its substrate, which could relate to its role in biological functions and hair loss.
research Characterization of Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus Genotypes HPV-150 and HPV-151
HPV-150 and HPV-151 are rare skin viruses linked to warts and some skin cancers.
research Reflectance confocal microscopy can differentiate dermoscopic white dots of the scalp between sweat gland ducts or follicular infundibulum
Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.
research Topical use of systemic drugs in dermatology: A comprehensive review
Using systemic drugs as creams for skin conditions shows promise, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research A pilot study on the sexual side effects of finasteride as related to hand preference for men undergoing treatment of male pattern baldness

research Hair Growth-Promoting Effects of Lavender Oil in C57BL/6 Mice
Lavender oil significantly promotes hair growth in mice.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research High circulating oestrone and low testosterone correlate with adverse clinical outcomes in men with advanced liver disease
Men with advanced liver disease and high oestrone and low testosterone levels have worse health outcomes.
research Radiation-induced alopecia
A man experienced hair loss from radiotherapy, which can be temporary or permanent depending on radiation dose, with potential treatments available.
research Hirsutism, postpartum telogen effluvium, and male pattern alopecia
Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can cause hair growth changes and hair loss, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth and testosterone in hirsutism, but is less effective than combined treatments.

Most children with CNS tumors on targeted therapy had skin reactions, which were generally treatable without stopping the therapy.
research The antimycotic agent clotrimazole inhibits melanogenesis by accelerating ERK and PI3K-/Akt-mediated tyrosinase degradation
Clotrimazole, an antifungal cream, may safely reduce skin pigmentation by breaking down the enzyme needed for making melanin.
research Oral administration of low-dose bisphenol A promotes proliferation of ventral prostate and upregulates prostaglandin D2 synthase expression in adult rats
Low doses of BPA can increase prostate growth and change hormone levels in adult rats.
research Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair
Hair regrowth doesn't convert thin hairs to thick hairs, but increases overall hair density.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
