research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Transforming growth factor-β in stem cells and tissue homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
