research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Disruption of the hedgehog signaling pathway contributes to the hair follicle cycling deficiency in Vdr knockout mice
Mice without Vitamin D receptors have hair growth problems because of issues in the hedgehog signaling pathway.
research Different effects of phospholipase Dζ2 and non‐specific phospholipase C4 on lipid remodeling and root hair growth in Arabidopsis response to phosphate deficiency
PLDζ2 and NPC4 have different roles in lipid changes and root hair growth in Arabidopsis under low phosphate, with PLDζ2 reducing root hair growth and NPC4 promoting it.

Biotin is important for health, but taking extra usually doesn't help unless you're deficient.
research Zinc and Zinc Transporters in Dermatology
Zinc is crucial for skin health and treating various skin disorders.
research Mechanisms of testosterone action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
research Patient Care
The Beverly Hills Diet is unhealthy and can cause serious health issues; pharmacists should advise against it and asthmatics should avoid nonprescription antihistamines.

Selenium levels in Enshi District need careful monitoring to prevent health issues.
research Substrate specific sulfatase activity from hair follicles in recessive X-linked ichthyosis
Recessive X-linked ichthyosis involves a less efficient enzyme in hair follicles, suggesting two distinct enzymes.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research An underlying mechanism of hair loss in acrodermatitis enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and regeneration, but can be reversed with zinc supplementation.
research 194 An underlying mechanism of hair loss in acrodermatitis enteropathica
Zinc deficiency disrupts hair growth and cycle, but zinc supplements can fix this.
research Telomere Dynamics and Telomerase in the Biology of Hair Follicles and their Stem Cells as a Model for Aging Research
Hair follicle studies suggest that maintaining telomere length could help treat hair loss and graying, but it's uncertain if mouse results apply to humans.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
