research From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research High-resolution structures of mutants of residues that affect access to the ligand-binding cavity of human lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase
Mutations in the enzyme don't significantly change how it binds to its specific substances.
research Structural & functional studies of L-PGDS and SMPDL3A enzymes in lipid signaling family
L-PGDS has specific binding sites for its functions and could help in drug delivery system design.
research 6. Phototherapy, Photomedicine, and Pigmentary Disorders
Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
research 4. Bullous/Mucous Membrane
High blood pressure drugs often cause skin lupus, stopping the drug usually helps. A vaccine helps prevent genital herpes and HPV-16. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. No link was found between low iron and chronic hair loss.
research 12. Cancer
Some medications can improve skin conditions, while lifestyle factors like smoking and drinking may worsen them; treatments like monoclonal antibodies and imiquimod cream show promise for certain skin diseases.
research Applications and Risks of Nanomaterials Used in Regenerative Medicine, Delivery Systems, Theranostics, and Therapy
Nanomaterials in biomedicine can improve treatments but may have risks like toxicity, needing more safety research.
research Strain and Strain Recovery of Human Hair from the Nano- to the Macroscale
Human hair can almost fully recover its structure within about 1,000 minutes after being stretched.
research Complete Structure of an Epithelial Keratin Dimer: Implications for Intermediate Filament Assembly
The study revealed the detailed structure of a keratin dimer, aiding understanding of how intermediate filament proteins function.
research Hard alpha-keratin degradation inside a tissue under high flux X-ray synchrotron micro-beam: A multi-scale time-resolved study
High flux X-ray beams quickly damage the structure of human hair.
research IL-3 contributes to development of lupus nephritis in MRL/Ipr mice
IL-3 worsens lupus nephritis and blocking it improves kidney health.
research Foxn1 in Skin Development, Homeostasis and Wound Healing
Foxn1 is crucial for skin development and healing, and altering its expression may aid regenerative medicine.
research Biochemical Insights and Clinical Applications of Ischemia-Modified Albumin in Ischemic Conditions
Ischemia-modified albumin can help diagnose ischemic conditions early, but better detection methods are needed.
research Molecular mechanism of ligand recognition and activation of lysophosphatidic acid receptor LPAR6
LPAR6 has a unique way of binding and activating, which helps in designing treatments for hair loss and cancer.
research Sinapic acid and glabridin synergistically mitigate androgenetic alopecia by modulating ferroptosis through stabilization of β-catenin against ubiquitin-dependent degradation.
Sinapic acid and glabridin together help hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.
research Current Insight of Peptide-Based Hydrogels for Chronic Wound Healing Applications: A Concise Review
Peptide-based hydrogels are promising for healing chronic wounds effectively.
research O-Glycosylated Cell Wall Proteins Are Essential in Root Hair Growth
Proteins with added sugars are crucial for plant root hair growth.
research Genetic Disorders and Defects in Vitamin D Action
Two rare genetic diseases cause severe rickets in children due to defects in vitamin D metabolism.
research Effect of shampoo, conditioner and permanent waving on the molecular structure of human hair
Perming significantly changes hair's molecular structure, while shampoo and conditioner do not.
research Combinatorial Biosynthesis of Sulfated Benzenediol Lactones with a Phenolic Sulfotransferase from Fusarium graminearum PH-1
A fungal enzyme was used to make compounds more soluble, aiding drug discovery and crop protection.
research Functional characterization and unraveling the structural determinants of novel steroid hydroxylase CYP154C7 from Streptomyces sp. PAMC26508
CYP154C7 enzyme can effectively modify steroids and is promising for commercial use.
research Mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia results from ETAR gain-of-function mutations via allosteric effects on ligand binding
Specific mutations in a receptor cause facial abnormalities and hair loss.
research Highlights from the Literature
Apoptosis, not oxidative stress, is linked to aging in mice with mtDNA mutations.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Insights learned from L457(3.43)R, an activating mutant of the human lutropin receptor
The L457(3.43)R mutation in the human lutropin receptor causes increased activity and hormone insensitivity, leading to precocious puberty.
research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
