Male pattern hair loss is mainly caused by genetics and hormones, especially DHT.
research Combined transcriptomics and proteomics forecast analysis for potential genes regulating the Columbian plumage color in chickens
MED23 and GNAQ genes are crucial for chicken feather color.
research Construction of a cDNA library and identification of genes from Liaoning cashmere goat
Researchers created a genetic library from a cashmere goat's skin and found new genes linked to hair growth.
research Tackling underrepresentation to aid understanding of Parkinson’s disease: Progress and further opportunities
Increasing research diversity is key for better understanding and treating Parkinson's Disease.
research An Approach to Identify Targets of Breast Cancer Stem Cells
New biomarkers and targets for breast cancer treatment were identified to help prevent relapse and metastasis.
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 Molecular mechanisms of viral oncogenesis in humans
Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
research Tailored chromatin modulation to promote tissue regeneration
Understanding and manipulating epigenetic changes can potentially lead to human organ regeneration therapies, but more research is needed to improve these methods and minimize risks.
research Genetic Susceptibility to Alopecia
Certain mutations in the PADI3 gene may increase the risk of developing a type of scarring hair loss common in women of African descent.
research Management of Toxicities of Targeted Therapies
Targeted therapies for lung cancer are effective but require careful management of side effects to benefit patients.
research Gene Expression Analysis Reveals Novel Functions of Vitamin D and Glucocorticoids
Vitamin D and glucocorticoids affect bone growth, metabolism, and immune response.
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 Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome in 2 Patients With Diverse Genotype
Diagnosing and managing Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome is complex due to genetic differences and varied symptoms.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Glucocorticoid Effect on Hair Growth Initiation: A Reconsideration
Steroids stop hair growth temporarily but don't block the signals that start it.
research Disrupted Pancreatic Exocrine Differentiation and Malabsorption in Response to Chronic Elevated Systemic Glucocorticoid
High glucocorticoids cause pancreatic malfunction and malabsorption, reversible with enzyme supplements.
research LBODP010 A Case of Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome
The patient likely has Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition causing insensitivity to glucocorticoids, requiring high-dose dexamethasone treatment.
research Skin and glucocorticoids: effects of local skin glucocorticoid impairment on skin homeostasis
Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research Regulation of the metabolic phenotype of human hepatocytes by glucocorticoids and androgens
Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.
research An overview of animal models induced by glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids can cause various health issues, but some treatments may help reduce these effects.
research SUN-439 Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Disruption from Unregulated Glucocorticoid Use: A Case Series
Unregulated glucocorticoid use can disrupt hormone balance and cause serious health issues.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Cortisol Enhances the Expression of mac25/Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-Related Protein-1 in Cultured Osteoblasts**This work was supported by NIDDK Grant DK-45227 and a scholarship (to R.C.P.) from Fundacao Coordenacao de Aperfeicoa mento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Universidade de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
Cortisol increases a specific protein in bone cells, which may help explain its negative effects on bone.
research Plasma levels of C19 steroid glucuronides in pre-menopausal women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research Supplementary Material for: Dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, induces the activity of androgen receptor in human dermal papilla cells
Dexamethasone increases androgen receptor activity in scalp cells, which might explain stress-related hair loss.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor plays a transient role in mouse skin development
The mineralocorticoid receptor temporarily affects mouse skin development, but the glucocorticoid receptor has a more lasting impact.
