Combining systemic and topical treatments, guided by weekly fungal cultures, effectively treats cat ringworm.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia requires personalized treatment plans to manage symptoms and fertility, with glucocorticoids being a common therapy.
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 Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
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 Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles
Minoxidil works in liver and outer hair root sheath for hair growth.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Proliferation, but Not Apoptosis, Is Associated with Distinct β-Catenin Expression Patterns in Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas
Distinct β-catenin patterns are linked to cell growth, not cell death, in lung cancer.
research Regulation of melanocyte stem cells in the pigmentation of skin and its appendages: Biological patterning and therapeutic potentials

research Does prolactin play a role in skin biology and pathology?
Prolactin may be important for skin growth and immune function.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Repeated Low-Level Red-Light Therapy for Controlling Onset and Progression of Myopia-a Review
Red-light therapy may slow myopia progression better than traditional treatments.
research Toxic shock syndrome: Recent developments in pathogenesis
Toxic shock syndrome is caused by a complex interaction of bacterial toxins and the immune system, and understanding this can help improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
