research Deciphering the function of canonical Wnt signals in development and disease: conditional loss- and gain-of-function mutations of β-catenin in mice
Wnt signaling is vital for cell growth, development, and cancer research.
research Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Colon Cancer Stem Cells: Promise of Targeted Therapy
Targeting colon cancer stem cells might lead to better treatment results.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
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 The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
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 Defective trophoblast function in mice with a targeted mutation of Ets2
Ets2 gene is crucial for placental development in mice.
research Mesenchymal–epithelial interactions during hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Deletion of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Melatonin in the skin: synthesis, metabolism and functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Tracing the cellular origin of cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Lipoatrophy and severe metabolic disturbance in mice with fat-specific deletion of PPARγ
Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.
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.
