720-750 / 1000+ results research Extracellular vesicles as precision therapeutics for psychiatric conditions: targeting interactions among neuronal, glial, and immune networks
Extracellular vesicles could offer precise treatments for psychiatric conditions by targeting brain networks.
research Can we teach old drugs new tricks?—Repurposing of neuropharmacological drugs for inflammatory skin diseases
Old neuropharmacological drugs might be effective for treating inflammatory skin diseases.
research Corrigendum to “Patients treated for male pattern hair loss with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma” [J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol. 146 (2015) 74–79]
Stopping finasteride for male pattern hair loss changes neuroactive steroid levels in the brain and blood.
research Sex steroid levels in corresponding cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples quantified by mass spectrometry in men
DHEA is the main sex steroid in cerebrospinal fluid, and testosterone in the fluid comes from the blood.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Investigation of the mechanisms of progesterone protection following oxygen–glucose deprivation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone protects brain cells by converting to allopregnanolone and involving GABAA receptors.
research Cutaneous hydroxystereoid dehydrogenases and rat-hair-cycle
Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.
research Dynamic spatiotemporal coordination of neural stem cell fate decisions through local feedback in the adult vertebrate brain
Neural stem cells use local feedback to maintain balance in the adult brain.
research Correction to: Oxytocin Receptor Expression in Hair Follicle Stem Cells: A Promising Model for Biological and Therapeutic Discovery in Neuropsychiatric Disorders
The error in figures didn't affect the study's results or conclusions.
research LINCS Dataset-Based Repositioning of Dutasteride as an Anti-Neuroinflammation Agent
Dutasteride may help reduce brain inflammation and improve cognition.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research Effects of natural products on skin inflammation caused by abnormal hormones secreted by the adrenal gland
Natural products may help treat skin inflammation from abnormal adrenal hormones.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Respiratory regulation by steroids in newborn rats: a sex‐specific balance between allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors
Breathing in newborn rats is affected differently by hormones based on their sex.
research Sexual steroid regulation of spermatogenesis: new actors enter the stage
Estrogens and androgens are crucial for male fertility.
research Structure and Expression of a New Complementary DNA Encoding the almost Exclusive 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4-lsomerase in Human Adrenals and Gonads
Human adrenals and gonads have a unique enzyme for steroid hormone production.
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 Homing of stem cells to sites of inflammatory brain injury after intracerebral and intravenous administration: a longitudinal imaging study
Stem cells can move to brain injury sites and be tracked, showing promise for treating brain diseases.
research Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of C21 Steroids Having 1,4-diene or 4,6-diene 20-ones and 4-Azasteroid 20-Oximes
Three specific 4-azasteroid-2-oximes showed strong enzyme inhibition, but less than finasteride.
research Progesterone and its Metabolites: Anticonvulsant and Behavioral Studies
Progesterone and its metabolites can prevent seizures without major side effects.
research Expression patterns of the glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factor, neurturin, their cognate receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and a common signal transduction element c-Ret in the human skin hair follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research [Implication of VEGF, steroid hormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle cell responses].
Hair growth is regulated by a combination of hormones, blood vessels, and nerve signals.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype
Postmenopausal ovary stromal cells have a unique makeup and limited steroid production, suggesting androgens come from the adrenal gland.
