research The Role of Immature and Mature Adipocytes in Hair Cycling
Both immature and mature fat cells are important for hair growth cycles, with immature cells promoting growth and mature cells possibly inhibiting it.
research Dietary isoflavone increases insulin-like growth factor-I production, thereby promoting hair growth in mice
Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research A glutathione-dependent control of the indole butyric acid pathway supports Arabidopsis root system adaptation to phosphate deprivation
Glutathione helps Arabidopsis roots adapt to low phosphate by regulating a specific growth pathway.
research High Auxin and High Phosphate Impact on RSL2 Expression and ROS-Homeostasis Linked to Root Hair Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
High levels of auxin increase root hair growth by activating RSL2 and producing ROS, while high phosphate levels hinder growth by repressing RSL2.
research Nanotechnology advances for hair loss
Nanotechnology could make hair loss treatments more effective and reduce side effects, but more research is needed before it's available.
research Complications of Subcutaneous Contraception: A Review
Subcutaneous contraceptives can cause side effects like menstrual changes, headaches, weight gain, and pain at the implant site.
research PKC downregulation upon rapamycin treatment attenuates mitochondrial disease
Rapamycin treatment helps with mitochondrial disease by reducing PKC levels.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.
research Possible Therapeutic Effects of Ozone Mixture on Hypoxia in Tumor Development
Ozone therapy might improve cancer treatment and reduce its side effects.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and risks for COVID-19 infection: A comprehensive review
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 due to related health issues.
research Physiologic changes and dermatoses of pregnancy
Most pregnant women experience skin changes like darkening and itching, while serious skin conditions are rare but need early treatment.
research Sex-specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Inhibition of Inflammatory Gene Expression in Keratinocytes Using a Composition Containing Carnitine, Thioctic Acid and Saw Palmetto Extract
The composition with carnitine, thioctic acid, and saw palmetto extract may effectively reduce inflammation in hair follicle cells.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Morphometric-stereological and functional epididymal alterations and a decrease in fertility in rats treated with finasteride and after a 30-day post-treatment recovery period
Finasteride causes lasting fertility decrease in rats.
research Migration Inhibitory Factor in Conditioned Medium from Human Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Stimulates Hair Growth
Substance from human umbilical cord blood cells promotes hair growth.
research miR-140-5p in Small Extracellular Vesicles From Human Papilla Cells Stimulates Hair Growth by Promoting Proliferation of Outer Root Sheath and Hair Matrix Cells
miR-140-5p in certain cell vesicles helps hair growth by boosting cell proliferation.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Elevated fasting insulin is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
High fasting insulin levels in women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of heart and metabolic problems.
research Vitamin D activates type A natriuretic peptide receptor gene transcription in inner medullary collecting duct cells
Vitamin D boosts a specific gene activity in kidney cells that could improve heart and kidney function.
research 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Correlation of Hair Mineral Concentrations with Insulin Resistance in Korean Males
Higher hair calcium to magnesium ratios and lower chromium levels in hair may indicate insulin resistance in Korean men.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Case-Control Study
Balding men have higher heart disease risk.
