MR antagonists may improve skin health and wound healing, especially in aging.
research A novel actor in skin biology: the mineralocorticoid receptor
Blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor can help treat skin thinning caused by steroids.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research Androgen receptor-mediated gene activation in prostate cancer cells
Androgen receptors help prostate cancer cells grow and resist drugs.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
research Reprofiling synthetic glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper fusion peptide as a novel and effective hair growth promoter
TAT-GILZ peptide promotes hair growth by boosting stem cell activity.
research An implication for post-transcriptional control: Reciprocal changes of melanocortin receptor type 2 mRNA and protein expression in alopecia areata
Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Targeted skin overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in mice causes epidermal atrophy, premature skin barrier formation, eye abnormalities, and alopecia.
Overexpression of a specific receptor in mice skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.
research Skeletal Site-Dependent Expression of the Androgen Receptor in Human Osteoblastic Cell Populations
Higher androgen levels and site-specific AR expression cause sex-related skeletal differences, and certain steroids can boost AR expression and androgen effects in bone cells.
research Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes
Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.
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 Gene Expression Analysis Reveals Novel Functions of Vitamin D and Glucocorticoids
Vitamin D and glucocorticoids affect bone growth, metabolism, and immune response.
research Human hair follicles display a functional equivalent of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis and synthesize cortisol
Human hair follicles can produce cortisol like the body's stress response system.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research Chronic Stress Suppresses the Expression of Cutaneous Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenocortical Axis Elements and Melanogenesis
Chronic stress can reduce skin pigmentation.
research Multiple readout assay for hormonal (androgenic and antiandrogenic) and cytotoxic activity of plant and fungal extracts based on differential prostate cancer cell line behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Lentiviral Arrays for Live-cell Dynamic Monitoring of Gene and Pathway Activity During Stem Cell Differentiation
The lentiviral array can monitor and predict gene activity during stem cell differentiation.
research GRowing an Epidermal Tumor
The glucocorticoid receptor helps protect skin from tumors and other issues.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Stem Cells in the Hair Follicle and Interfollicular Epidermis of Mice following Topical Application of Fluocinolone Acetonide
Fluocinolone acetonide slows down hair follicle stem cells but speeds up skin cell growth in mice.
research Editors' Picks
ANp63 is crucial for skin integrity, new filaggrin gene mutations link to eczema, hair can regrow from non-stem cells, sunburns are increasing, and glucocorticoids help treat skin allergies by affecting immune cells.
research Ectoin attenuates cortisone‐induced skin issues by suppression GR signaling and the UVB ‐induced overexpression of 11β‐HSD1
Ectoin helps prevent cortisone-induced skin problems and supports skin health.
research The role of dexamethasone in mediating the contradictory effects of Wnt antagonists SFRP2 and SFRP3 on human hair follicle growth
Dexamethasone affects hair growth by altering levels of proteins that either promote or inhibit hair follicle growth.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
