research Biochemistry of epidermal stem cells
The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research Ferulic acid promotes hair growth via estrogen receptor alpha activation in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Ferulic acid may help hair grow by activating certain receptors in cells.
research Inhibitors of 5α-reductase-related side effects in patients seeking medical care for sexual dysfunction.
5α-reductase inhibitors may worsen sexual drive and spontaneous erections but don't worsen existing erectile or ejaculatory problems.
research Managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Cognitive Behavioral Strategy
Cognitive behavioral strategies help women with PCOS make lifestyle changes to improve their health.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Expression of Kruppel-Like Factor KLF4 in Mouse Hair Follicle Stem Cells Contributes to Cutaneous Wound Healing
KLF4 is important for maintaining skin stem cells and helps heal wounds.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Lichen Planopilaris in Women
Women with lichen planopilaris often have thyroid disease, depression, anxiety, and may respond to treatment with slowed disease progression.
research Dermatologic Conditions of the Early Post-Transplant Period in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients
Skin problems are common after stem cell transplants, and early treatment by dermatologists can improve patient outcomes.
research Stem Cells in the Skin
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.
research Possible Therapeutic Effects of Ozone Mixture on Hypoxia in Tumor Development
Ozone therapy might improve cancer treatment and reduce its side effects.
research Alopecia in Association with Malignancy: A Review
Hair loss in cancer patients can be related to the cancer itself, treatment, or other conditions, and understanding it is important for diagnosis and patient care.
research Innovations in chemotherapy and radiation therapy: Implications and opportunities for the Asia-Pacific Rim
New cancer treatments are more precise and less toxic, improving survival rates, but Asia faces challenges in adopting these advancements.
research PAK4 signaling in health and disease: defining the PAK4–CREB axis
PAK4 is crucial in cancer progression, brain development, and could be a therapeutic target, especially through the PAK4-CREB axis.

Cellular senescence has both cancer-blocking and cancer-promoting effects, and targeting senescent cells may improve health and lifespan.
research Cytostatics and immunosuppressive drugs
Some cancer and immune system drugs can cause serious side effects, including heart, lung, nerve, and organ damage, which need careful monitoring and management.
research Bioactive Compounds from the Roots of Asiasarum heterotropoides
