research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Evaluation of Female Fertility—AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing
AMH helps estimate ovarian reserve but doesn't predict pregnancy chances; age is more important.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Alternative treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome: pre-clinical and clinical basis for using plant-based drugs
Plant-based drugs are effective and safe alternatives for managing PCOS symptoms.
research Fibroblast growth factor 5-short (FGF5s) inhibits the activity of FGF5 in primary and secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells of cashmere goats
FGF5s can block the effects of FGF5, which may help control hair growth in cashmere goats.
research Iron Plays a Certain Role in Patterned Hair Loss
Iron deficiency may contribute to hair loss.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Effects of Finasteride on Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
Finasteride reduces prostate bleeding by affecting blood vessel growth.
research Over-expression of thymosin beta4 promotes abnormal tooth development and stimulation of hair growth
Too much thymosin beta4 causes weird teeth and more hair growth in mice.
research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing
Mice lacking fibromodulin have disrupted healing patterns, leading to abnormal skin repair and scarring.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Cardiovascular risk factors and events in women with androgen excess
Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
research Evidence for various calcium sites in human hair shaft revealed by sub-micrometer X-ray fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Dietary isoflavone increases insulin-like growth factor-I production, thereby promoting hair growth in mice
Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.
research Unchanged androgen-binding properties of sex hormone-binding globulin in male patients with liver cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor Dutasteride but not Finasteride protects dopamine neurons in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
