research Immunolocalization of a Histidine-Rich Epidermal Differentiation Protein in the Chicken Supports the Hypothesis of an Evolutionary Developmental Link between the Embryonic Subperiderm and Feather Barbs and Barbules
A specific protein in chicken embryos links early skin layers to feather development.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Induction of Skin-Derived Precursor Cells from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Scientists made skin stem cells from other human cells with over 97% efficiency, which could help treat skin conditions.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research The Steroidogenesis Inhibitor Finasteride Reduces the Response to Both Stressful and Rewarding Stimuli
Finasteride reduces response to stress and rewards, affecting behavior and mental health.
research Cytokine loaded layer-by-layer ultrathin matrices to deliver single dermal papilla cells for spot-by-spot hair follicle regeneration
Scientists have created a method to deliver specific cells that can regenerate hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss.
research Melanocyte progenitor cells reside in human subcutaneous adipose tissue
Melanocyte progenitor cells are found in human fat tissue and can become mature melanocytes, which may help treat skin issues.
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 Hair follicle stem cells isolated from newborn Yangtze River Delta White Goats
Researchers found a good way to isolate hair follicle stem cells from newborn goats for further study.
research Trichothiodystrophy with Dysmyelination and Central Osteosclerosis
Specific brain and bone imaging findings can help diagnose Trichothiodystrophy.
research The role of the adrenal glands in regulating onset of winter fur growth in mink (Mustela vison)
Adrenal glands delay the start of winter fur growth in mink.
research The 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Exerts Neuroprotection Against Ischemic Brain Injury in Aged Male Rats
Finasteride helps protect brain in old male rats.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research PR-independent neurosteroid regulation of α2-GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus subfields
Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.
research The regulatory role of the tetrapeptide A cSDKP in skin and hair physiology and the prevention of ageing effects in these tissues – a potential cosmetic role
AcSDKP may help prevent skin and hair aging and promote their growth.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Trichoblastoma with sebaceous and sweat gland differentiation
A rare benign skin tumor showed unusual features of sebaceous and sweat glands, important for correct diagnosis.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research NFIC promotes the vitality and osteogenic differentiation of rat dental follicle cells
NFIC helps rat dental cells grow and turn into bone-like cells.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Anticytokine therapy, particularly anti-IFN-γ, in Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases
Blocking interferon-gamma might help treat various autoimmune diseases.
research Caffeine and Its Pharmacological Benefits in the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Caffeine improves hair growth, thickness, and reduces shedding.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Keratin-mediated hair growth and its underlying biological mechanism
Keratin injections can promote hair growth by affecting hair-forming cells and tissue development.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales
The research identified two types of keratinocytes in chicken scales: one for hard scales and another for soft skin, with similarities to human skin differentiation.
