210-240 / 1000+ results research Neuroendocrine Pathways in Skin Health and Homeostasis: A Systematic Review
The skin communicates with the nervous system, and targeting neurohormones like melatonin and oxytocin could help treat skin issues.
research Central precocious puberty secondary to peripheral precocious puberty due to a pineal germ cell tumor: a case and review of literature
A pineal tumor caused a boy's early puberty, which changed from peripheral to central after treatment.
research Hair Follicles as a Critical Model for Monitoring the Circadian Clock
Hair follicles could be used to noninvasively monitor our body's internal clock and help identify risks for related diseases.
research The Endocrine Function of the Skin: An Analytical Narrative
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, producing hormones that affect various body functions and skin health, and understanding this can lead to new treatments.
research Heat stress decreased hair follicle population in rex rabbits
Heat stress reduced hair growth and affected related genes in rex rabbits.
research SAT320 Cyclic Cushing Syndrome Caused By An ACTH-Producing Pheochromocytoma
A woman's cyclic Cushing syndrome was caused by a tumor in her adrenal gland that produced ACTH.
research Parathyroid hormone-related peptide and the hair cycle - is it the agonists or the antagonists that cause hair growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.
research Endocrine controls of primary adult human stem cell biology: Thyroid hormones stimulate keratin 15 expression, apoptosis, and differentiation in human hair follicle epithelial stem cells in situ and in vitro
Thyroid hormones affect hair follicle stem cells by promoting differentiation and reducing growth.
research Age‐dependent regulation by androgens of gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus and stress‐induced release of adrenal hormones in adolescent and adult male rats
Testosterone affects stress hormone levels differently in adolescent and adult male rats.
research Promotion of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production by Sensory Neuron Stimulation; Molecular Mechanism(s) and Therapeutic Implications

Hair growth cycles need varied signals in space and time.
research ‘Neurotrophology’ of the hair follicle: neurotrophins act as auto‐ and paracrine growth factors and immunomodulators
Neurotrophins are important for hair growth and response to stress.
research THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND HAIR GROWTH IN THE RAT
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Stress, Hair Growth Control, and the Neuro-Endocrine-Immune Connection
Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
research Thymic Peptides Differentially Modulate Human Hair Follicle Growth
Different thymic peptides affect hair growth in various ways.
