research Keratinocyte Growth Inhibition through the Modification of Wnt Signaling by Androgen in Balding Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.
research Revising the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Direct conversion of mouse and human fibroblasts to functional melanocytes by defined factors
Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.
research Finasteride Blocks the Reduction in Ictal Activity Produced by Exogenous Estrous Cyclicity
research Use of high dose cyproterone acetate and risk of intracranial meningioma in women: cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate increase the risk of brain tumors in women, but the risk decreases after stopping the medication.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research ACNE
Acne significantly affects mental health and quality of life, with research suggesting hormonal and genetic factors in its development and emphasizing early treatment to prevent scarring.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research JMJD3 and NF-κB-dependent activation of Notch1 gene is required for keratinocyte migration during skin wound healing
JMJD3 and NF-κB activate Notch1, which is essential for skin cell movement and wound healing.
research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormone parameters
Finasteride can reduce fertility in some men, but stopping it increases sperm count.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Association of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Male Pattern Baldness
Men with enlarged prostates often have more severe baldness.
research Exogenous IGF-1 promotes hair growth by stimulating cell proliferation and down regulating TGF-β1 in C57BL/6 mice in vivo
IGF-1 injections help mice grow more hair by increasing cell growth and blocking a hair growth inhibitor.
research Mechanisms of hepatocyte attachment to keratin biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Persistent erectile dysfunction in men exposed to the 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride, or dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride may cause long-lasting erectile dysfunction.
research Novel skin phenotypes revealed by a genome-wide mouse reverse genetic screen
The research identified new skin traits in mice, some linked to human skin conditions.
research Valproic acid promotes human hair growth in in vitro culture model
Valproic acid may help hair grow and could be a safe treatment for hair loss.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Cultured human and rat tooth papilla cells induce hair follicle regeneration and fiber growth
Tooth papilla cells can help regenerate hair follicles and grow hair.
research The extract of Thujae occidentalis semen inhibited 5α-reductase and androchronogenetic alopecia of B6CBAF1/j hybrid mouse
Thujae occidentalis semen extract may help treat male pattern baldness by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and reducing hair loss in mice.
research Effects of maintaining solstice light and temperature on reproductive activity, coat growth, plasma prolactin and melatonin in goats
Goat reproductive activity and coat growth are affected by light and temperature, with temperature altering prolactin levels and hair growth, but not melatonin or estrus onset.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Influence of substance-P on cultured sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
research Activin B Promotes BMSC-Mediated Cutaneous Wound Healing by Regulating Cell Migration via the JNK—ERK Signaling Pathway
Activin B improves wound healing and hair growth by helping stem cells move using certain cell signals.
