research Vitamin D and androgen receptor-targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer
Targeting vitamin D and androgen receptors may effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer, especially with chemotherapy.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro

research Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss
Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.
research RANK as a therapeutic target in cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.
research Androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance in young men
Hair loss in young men linked to higher risk of insulin resistance and metabolic issues.
research Family History and Risk of Hair Loss
Men with a family history of hair loss are more likely to experience it themselves, especially if both parents have hair loss.
research Sulphation catalysed by the human cytosolic sulphotransferases - chemical defence or molecular terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Changing the shape of hair with keratin peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
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 Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research Proliferation, but Not Apoptosis, Is Associated with Distinct β-Catenin Expression Patterns in Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas
Distinct β-catenin patterns are linked to cell growth, not cell death, in lung cancer.
research Whole-Cell Bioprocessing of Human Fetal Cells for Tissue Engineering of Skin
Fetal cells could improve skin repair with minimal scarring and are a potential ready-to-use solution for tissue engineering.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research How to Speak Postmodern: Medicine, Illness, and Cultural Change
The document suggests medicine should integrate biological and cultural factors and focus on holistic, equitable care.
research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.

MicroRNAs play a key role in wool growth in Tibetan sheep.
research Trichoscopy in Hair Shaft Disorders
Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair disorders without pulling out hair.
research Evaluation of the predictive capacity of DNA variants associated with straight hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
