A new genetic change causing early stop in the androgen receptor gene was found in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Expression of nerve growth factor in skin tissues and its effect on the proliferation of outer root sheath cells in cashmere goats
Nerve growth factor helps cashmere goat hair cells grow and is more active during the hair growth phase.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Genetic variants in AR and SHBG and resistance to hormonal castration in prostate cancer
Certain genetic variants increase the risk of resistance to hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Diagnosis, Management, and Associated Comorbidities of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Narrative Review
Early detection and comprehensive treatment of PCOS are crucial due to its long-term health impacts and associated risks.
research Mendelian randomization study highlights hypothyroidism as a causal determinant of alopecia areata
The study suggests that hypothyroidism may cause alopecia areata.
research Depletion of Gsdma1/2/3 alleviates PMA-induced epidermal hyperplasia by inhibiting the EGFR–Stat3/Akt pathway
Removing Gsdma1/2/3 genes reduces skin cell overgrowth by blocking a specific cell pathway.
research Hereditary 1,25‐Dihydroxyvitamin D‐Resistant Rickets in a Pomeranian Dog Caused by a Novel Mutation in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene
A Pomeranian dog had rickets due to a new gene mutation, leading to severe symptoms and euthanasia.
research Late unexpected consequences of COVID‐19 infection in survivors of acute hypoxic respiratory failure
After severe COVID-19, 71% of patients experienced excessive hair shedding and thinning within 3 months due to factors like low oxygen levels, medication, stress, and autoimmune disease.
research Hair Loss in a Hemodialysis Patient after Repetitive Use of the Antipruritic Drug Nalfurafine: Implications of Impaired Angiogenesis for Hair Loss
Stopping nalfurafine reversed hair loss in a hemodialysis patient.
research Exosomes derived from Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell promote hair regrowth in C57BL6 mice through upregulation of the RAS/ERK signaling pathway
Exosomes from stem cells help hair regrowth by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Spironolactone Therapy for Hirsutism in a Hyperandrogenic Woman
Spironolactone may help reduce excessive hair growth in women with high male hormone levels.
research Androgen Receptor in Human Health: A Potential Therapeutic Target
The Androgen Receptor could be a target for treating diseases like cancer, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of potential treatments.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphisms and risk for androgenetic alopecia: a meta-analysis
G allele of AR Stul polymorphism linked to higher hair loss risk, especially in white people.
research Androgen receptor transactivity is potentiated by TGF-β1 through Smad3 but checked by its coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in balding dermal papilla cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
research Monoclonal Antibody Against Prolactin Receptor: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study Evaluating Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Subcutaneous Administrations in Postmenopausal Women
The drug BAY 1158061 is safe, well-tolerated, and shows potential for treating diseases related to prolactin.
research A Phase 1 Study to Investigate the Effects of Cortexolone 17α‐Propionate, Also Known as Clascoterone, on the QT Interval Using the Meal Effect to Demonstrate ECG Assay Sensitivity
Clascoterone is safe for the heart, even at high doses.
research Lower prostate cancer risk in Swedish men with the androgen receptor E213 A-allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research A variant of the glucocorticoid receptor gene is not associated with adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research The hairless gene mutated in congenital hair loss disorders encodes a novel nuclear receptor corepressor
The mutated hairless gene causes hair loss by acting as a new type of corepressor affecting thyroid hormone receptors.
