The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
research Neuroendocrine Perspectives in Alopecia Areata: Does Stress Play a Role?
Stress might contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research Invasion and increased expression of S100A4 and CYR61 in mesenchymal transformed breast cancer cells is downregulated by GnRH
GnRH treatment can reduce breast cancer cell invasion.
research Neuroendocrine Determinants of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain brain hormones and chemicals are linked to the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Hair Growth Effect of Emulsion Extracted Brevilin A, a JAK3 Inhibitor, from Centipeda minima
CMX from Centipeda minima can significantly improve hair growth in mild to moderate balding.
research Role of OCT4 in the Regulation of FSH-Induced Granulosa Cells Growth in Female Mice
OCT4 helps granulosa cell growth in early-stage follicles, and FSH increases OCT4 through specific pathways.
research Update on the therapeutic role of metformin in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome: Effects on pathophysiologic process and fertility outcomes
Metformin helps manage PCOS by improving fertility and is safe for pregnancy, especially when combined with certain treatments.
research Recommendations of endocrine treatment for patients with gender dysphoria
The document concludes that hormone therapy is essential for treating gender dysphoria, with specific drugs and monitoring protocols recommended for safety and effectiveness.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research Efficacy and safety of topical 3% minoxidil for facial hair enhancement in transmen: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
Topical 3% minoxidil effectively and safely enhances facial hair in transgender men.
research Langerin+ Dendritic Cells in Cutaneous Fibrosis: The TGF-β1 Signaling Axis
Targeting specific cell interactions may help treat skin fibrosis.
research Gene polymorphisms and serum levels of BDNF and CRH in vitiligo patients
Certain gene variations and different levels of BDNF and CRH hormones are linked to vitiligo.
research Physiology of Male Gonadotropic Axis and Disorders of Sex Development
Understanding genes and hormones is crucial for managing male puberty and sex development disorders.
research Hair loss in men
Male-pattern hair loss is normal, often involves hormone effects on hair follicles, and can be treated with medication or surgery, but new treatments are being researched.
research Unraveling the ECM-Immune Cell Crosstalk in Skin Diseases
