research Short-term responses of soybean roots to individual and combinatorial effects of elevated [CO2] and water deficit
Elevated CO2 can lessen the negative impact of water shortage on soybean roots and affects specific genes.
research Candidate SNP markers of reproductive potential are predicted by a significant change in the affinity of TATA-binding protein for human gene promoters
Certain genetic markers linked to reproductive potential were identified by their impact on a protein's ability to bind to genes.
research Co-secretion of testosterone and cortisol by a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma
A woman's rare adrenal tumor caused high testosterone and cortisol levels, which normalized after the tumor was removed.
research Insulin Promotes Corneal Nerve Repair and Wound Healing in Type 1 Diabetic Mice by Enhancing Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
Insulin helps heal corneal wounds and nerves in diabetic mice by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Protective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
