The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research Delineation of Matriptase Protein Expression by Enzymatic Gene Trapping Suggests Diverging Roles in Barrier Function, Hair Formation, and Squamous Cell Carcinogenesis
Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.
research Autosomal Ichthyosis with Hypotrichosis Syndrome Displays Low Matriptase Proteolytic Activity and Is Phenocopied in ST14 Hypomorphic Mice

research Evaluation of the relationship between serum G protein-coupled estrogen receptors (GPER-1) levels and the severity and duration of the disease in patients with androgenetic alopecia: A case-control study
Higher GPER-1 levels are linked to more severe and shorter-duration androgenetic alopecia, suggesting GPER-1 as a potential treatment target.
research International PCOS guideline clinical research priorities roadmap: a co-designed approach aligned with end-user priorities in a neglected women’s health condition
The roadmap calls for better research and funding to improve PCOS diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes.
research GLP-1 Receptor Analogs: Evidence Linking to Effect on Metabolic and Reproductive Functions in Patients with PCOS and Obesity
GLP-1 receptor analogs may help improve metabolism and reproductive health in people with PCOS and obesity.
research The PCOS Phenotypes in Unselected Populations (P-PUP) study: participant clinical features and data harmonization on analysis of individual participant data
PCOS affects 11% of women, highlighting the need for standardized diagnosis.
research Electric Stimulation at 448 kHz Modulates Proliferation and Differentiation of Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Electric stimulation at 448 kHz can promote hair growth by enhancing cell activity in hair follicles.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research Unilateral widespread lichen planus following Blaschko's lines afterMycoplasma pneumoniaeinfection
An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.
research Keratinocyte Stem Cells but Not Melanocyte Stem Cells Are the Primary Target for Radiation-Induced Hair Graying
Radiation mainly affects keratinocyte stem cells, not melanocyte stem cells, causing hair to gray.
research Trichofolliculoma on gluteal area: A unique case report
A rare benign skin nodule was found on the buttock, a unique location for this condition.
research Hair Follicle Signaling Networks: A Dermal Papilla–Centric Approach
The document concludes that dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and could be used in new hair loss treatments.
research Hair Loss in Autoimmune Cutaneous Bullous Disorders
Hair loss in autoimmune blistering skin diseases varies and may regrow with disease control.
research D2-40 Expression in Primary Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia
Most people with scarring and nonscarring hair loss show similar D2-40 levels, but some with scarring hair loss have higher levels.
research The Hair Follicle Stem Cell as the Paradigm Multipotent Adult Stem Cell
Hair follicle stem cells can turn into many cell types and may help repair nerve damage and have other medical uses.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Expression of Calcium-Binding S100 Proteins A4 and A6 in Regions of the Epithelial Sac Associated with the Onset of Hair Follicle Regeneration
S100A4 and S100A6 proteins may activate stem cells for hair follicle regeneration and could be potential targets for hair loss treatments.
