research Generation of an integration-free human induced pluripotent stem cell line MUSIi010-A from occipital scalp fibroblasts of a male patient with androgenetic alopecia
Scientists created MUSIi010-A, a stem cell line from a balding man's scalp, to study hair loss and develop potential treatments.
research SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces the number of spermatogonial stem cells and dysregulates the transcriptional landscape of the human testis
COVID-19 can harm male fertility by reducing sperm stem cells and damaging testicular function.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Significant effects of mild endogenous hormonal changes in humans: considerations for low-dose testing.
Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.
research Significant Effects of Mild Endogenous Hormonal Changes in Humans: Considerations for Low-Dose Testing
Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.
research Characterization of X-Linked SNP genotypic variation in globally distributed human populations
The research concluded that selection significantly shaped the genetic variation of the X chromosome, with certain regions affected by past selective events.
research Loss-of-function mutations of an inhibitory upstream ORF in the human hairless transcript cause Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Certain mutations in a hair growth-related gene cause a type of genetic hair loss.
research TCL1 transgenic mouse model as a tool for the study of therapeutic targets and microenvironment in human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
The TCL1 transgenic mouse model is useful for understanding human B-cell leukemia and testing new treatments.
research Atrichia with papular lesions resulting from a novel insertion mutation in the human hairless gene
Researchers found a new mutation causing total hair loss from birth.
research High-resolution structures of mutants of residues that affect access to the ligand-binding cavity of human lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase
Mutations in the enzyme don't significantly change how it binds to its specific substances.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
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 Local synthesis and effect of sex steroids in human skin and the hair follicle and hormonal effects on the wound healing response
Local estrogen synthesis in skin may improve wound healing.
research Transport of Biotin in Human Keratinocytes
Human skin cells have a high-affinity system for biotin transport, crucial for skin health.
research Antioxidant Capacity and Protective Effect of Cow Placenta Extract on D-Galactose-Induced Skin Aging in Mice
Cow placenta extract has strong antioxidant effects and can delay skin aging in mice.
research Sequence and expression of human hair keratin genes
Human hair keratin genes are similar to mouse genes and are specifically expressed in hair follicles.
research Comparison of Effects on Gene Expression Activity of Low-Molecular-Weight Lychee Fruit Polyphenol (Oligonol®), Adenosine, and Minoxidil in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Lychee fruit polyphenol (Oligonol®) may regulate genes linked to cell growth and inflammation in human scalp cells.
research Novel Synergistic Approach for Bioactive Macromolecules: Evaluating the Efficacy of Goat Placenta Extract in PEGylated Liposomes and Microspicules for Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss
Goat placenta extract in a special delivery system improved hair growth and thickness in chemotherapy patients.
research Applications of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Skin Organoids in Dermatology
Skin organoids from stem cells can help study and treat skin issues but face some challenges.
research Parental Uveitis Influences Offspring With an Increased Susceptibility to the Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis
Parental uveitis increases offspring's risk and severity of autoimmune eye disease.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Human Follicular Papilla Cells Carry Out Nonadipose Tissue Production of Leptin
Leptin may play a role in hair growth and hair follicle health.
research An important role of cutaneous lymphatic vessels in coordinating and promoting anagen hair follicle growth
Skin lymphatic vessels are essential for hair growth.
research Ovine placental steroid synthesis and metabolism in late gestation†
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Molecular evolution of HR, a gene that regulates the postnatal cycle of the hair follicle
Changes in the HR gene have influenced hair growth and may lead to hair loss conditions in humans.
research Inhibition of Rab27a and Rab27b Has Opposite Effects on the Regulation of Hair Cycle and Hair Growth
Blocking Rab27a slows hair growth, while blocking Rab27b encourages it.
research Pharmacological Control of Reproduction in the Dog and Cat
Different drugs are used to manage breeding, prevent or end pregnancy, and treat reproductive issues in dogs and cats.
