research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
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 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 Toll-like receptor-targeted anti-tumor therapies: Advances and challenges
TLR-targeted therapies show promise in cancer treatment by helping destroy tumors.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Cutaneous Lesions in the Rat Following Administration of an Irreversible Inhibitor of erbB Receptors, Including the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
CI-1033 causes skin lesions in rats, similar to humans, due to EGF receptor inhibition.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research ROR2 regulates self-renewal and maintenance of hair follicle stem cells
ROR2 is essential for hair follicle stem cell renewal and maintenance.
research Restoration of Spermatogenesis and Male Fertility Using an Androgen Receptor Transgene
Scientists restored fertility in male mice lacking a key fertility gene by using a modified gene.
research Stratum-Specific Expression of Human Transferrin Receptor Increases Iron in Mouse Epidermis
Transferrin receptor expression increases iron in mouse skin cells without causing damage.
research Efficacy of an agonist ofα-MSH, the palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20, in hair pigmentation
Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 may help reduce hair greying and increase melanin production.
research Polyamine Oxidase Expression Is Downregulated by 17β-Estradiol via Estrogen Receptor 2 in Human MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
17β-estradiol lowers polyamine oxidase levels in breast cancer cells through estrogen receptor 2.
research The Emerging Structural Pharmacology of ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels
KATP channels are important for energy balance and are targeted by drugs for diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypertension, and hair loss.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Adenosine and Its Receptors in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Inflammatory Skin Diseases
Adenosine receptors could be promising targets for treating inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis.
research Increased Incidence of Telogen Effluvium Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Patients with Elevated TNF-α Expression: A Prospective Cohort Study
High TNF-α levels may increase hair loss risk after PRP therapy.
research Insight into Recent Advances in Degrading Androgen Receptor for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
New treatments targeting androgen receptors show promise for drug-resistant prostate cancer.
research Molecular studies of transient receptor potential Vanilloid 3 (TRPV3)
TRPV3 channels are involved in skin processes and are affected by shear stress, influencing itch and mechanotransduction.
research Sex-Chromosome-Related Dimorphism in Steroidogenic Enzymes and Androgen Receptor in Response to Testosterone Treatment: An In Vitro Study on Human Primary Skeletal Muscle Cells
Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.
research The role of dexamethasone in mediating the contradictory effects of Wnt antagonists SFRP2 and SFRP3 on human hair follicle growth
Dexamethasone affects hair growth by altering levels of proteins that either promote or inhibit hair follicle growth.
research Neuroendocrine Controls of Keratin Expression in Human Skin
Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
research Neurosteroids on the Epilepsy Chessboard—Keeping Seizures in Check
Ketogenic diet, neurosteroids, and HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway are potential targets for new epilepsy treatments.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Characterization of Metabolically Stable Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Researchers developed new compounds that target the androgen receptor effectively with fewer side effects.
research FOLLICULAR LIPOSOMAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS
New liposomal formulations may improve delivery of treatments to hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
research Leptin controls hair follicle cycling
Leptin helps start the growth phase of hair.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research A randomized phase II trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade therapy versus combined androgen blockade therapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma – the DUCT study protocol
Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
