research Molecular studies of transient receptor potential Vanilloid 3 (TRPV3)
TRPV3 channels are involved in skin processes and are affected by shear stress, influencing itch and mechanotransduction.
research TREM2 macrophages induced by human lipids drive inflammation in acne lesions
TREM2 macrophages and unsaturated lipids contribute to acne inflammation.
research PR-independent neurosteroid regulation of α2-GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus subfields
Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.
research Phase-specific differential regulation of mechanical allodynia in a murine model of neuropathic pain by progesterone
Progesterone initially worsens but later reduces neuropathic pain in mice, through different mechanisms.
research Clinical Snippets
Early sunburn treatment with certain inhibitors may reduce skin cancer risk.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Expression of Three Adipokines (Adiponectin, Leptin and Resistin) in Normal Canine Skin: a Pilot Study
The three adipokines—leptin, adiponectin, and resistin—are present in various cells of normal dog skin.

Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Functional characterization of OR51B5 and OR1G1 in human lung epithelial cells as potential drug targets for non-type 2 lung diseases
Blocking certain receptors in the lungs might help treat a specific type of asthma.
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
Microstimulation of certain facial and mouth nerves can evoke specific sensations, while deeper nerves may require multiple stimulations to affect perception.
research Screening for Anti-inflammatory Activities in Extracts from Korean Herb Medicines
Some Korean herb extracts can reduce inflammation and are safe for skin use.
research Internal peacekeepers and external mediators: A new model of peripheral immune tolerance involving regulatory T cells and mesenchymal stem cells
Regulatory T cells and mesenchymal stem cells work together to prevent immune system overreactions and tissue damage.
research Skin epidermal keratinocyte p53 induces food uptake upon UV exposure

Certain natural compounds called terpenes may help prevent prostate cancer.
research Hormonal contraceptives: pharmacology tailored to women's health
New hormonal contraceptives are safer, have fewer side effects, and offer health benefits for women.
research Decision letter: Neutrophils promote CXCR3-dependent itch in the development of atopic dermatitis
Neutrophils are key in causing chronic itch in atopic dermatitis, and blocking CXCR3 could reduce this itch.
research Cinnamomi Cortex (Cinnamomum verum) Suppresses Testosterone-induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Regulating 5α-reductase
Cinnamomi cortex may help treat prostate enlargement by reducing related proteins.
research Social isolation alters GABAA receptors plasticity and function: effect of voluntary consumption of ethanol
Social isolation changes brain receptors and makes ethanol more impactful.
