Microglia, the brain's immune cells, may contribute to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by altering the female brain's structure and function, with kisspeptin neurons and GABA neurotransmitters also playing a role.
research Gender Differences in Mouse Skin Morphology and Specific Effects of Sex Steroids and Dehydroepiandrosterone
Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.
research Neurosteroids in Adult Hippocampus of Male and Female Rodents: Biosynthesis and Actions of Sex Steroids
Sex steroids produced in the hippocampus are crucial for brain functions like memory and learning in rodents.
research A temperature-sensitive FERONIA mutant allele that alters root hair growth
A mutant FERONIA gene affects root hair growth at high temperatures.

α-MSH may help treat skin inflammation and fibrosis.
research Morphogenesis, Growth Cycle and Molecular Regulation of Hair Follicles
Hair growth and health are influenced by factors like age, environment, and nutrition, and are controlled by various molecular pathways. Red light can promote hair growth, and understanding these processes can help treat hair-related diseases.
research Age-related changes in the dorsal skin histology in Mini and Wistar rats.
Mini rats have thinner skin, more fat, and different hair cycles than Wistar rats due to lower growth hormone levels.
research mTORC1 activity negatively regulates human hair follicle growth and pigmentation
High mTORC1 activity slows hair growth and causes it to lose color.
research Quercetin and polycystic ovary syndrome
Quercetin may help improve symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Regulatory network of ginsenoside biosynthesis under Ro stress in the hairy roots of Panax ginseng revealed by RNA sequencing
Ro stress hindered ginseng root growth and ginsenoside production, but increased certain hormones and affected gene regulation related to plant growth and stress responses.
research Retinoic acid exerts sexually dimorphic effects on muscle energy metabolism and function
Retinoic acid affects male and female muscle energy use and function differently.
research Skin Sceneries of Thyroid Disorders and Impact of Thyroid on Different Skin Diseases: A Scoping Review Focused on Pediatric Patients
Thyroid disorders can cause skin issues in children, so early detection and screening are important.
research Melanocortin receptors in fibroblastic cell types of the skin –in vitro and in vivo expression and functional relevance
MC-1R is present in skin cells and may help reduce inflammation.
research The interaction between finasteride and corticosterone levels: implications for depression-, and anxiety-like behavior and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in male rats
Chronic finasteride use in male rats doesn't strongly cause depression or anxiety due to adaptive stress hormone changes.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research How to Choose the Optimal Starting Dose of Clomiphene Citrate (50 or 100 mg per Day) for a First Cycle of Ovulation Induction in Anovulatory PCOS Women?
Choosing the right starting dose of Clomiphene Citrate for ovulation induction in PCOS women is challenging; higher BMI and hormone levels may indicate resistance to the standard dose.
research Recent advances in neuropeptide-related omics and gene editing: Spotlight on NPY and somatostatin and their roles in growth and food intake of fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Rare and Underappreciated Causes of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Some lesser-known causes of PCOS include autoimmune issues, genetic mutations, and changes in the body's microbiome.
research Gene expression profile of human follicle dermal papilla cells in response to Camellia japonica phytoplacenta extract
Camellia japonica extract may improve scalp health and promote hair growth.
research GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Beyond Their Pancreatic Effects
GLP-1 receptor agonists, like Dulaglutide, Liraglutide, and Semaglutide, have potential benefits beyond the pancreas, including neuroprotection, pain suppression, cardiovascular protection, obesity management, and cancer treatment, but there are concerns about pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer risks.
research The impact of VDR expression and regulation in vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
