research UPDATE ON IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.
research Brain allopregnanolone induces marked scratching behaviour in diet-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.

Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
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 Identification and Characterization of a Novel Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor, p2y5/LPA6
p2y5, now called LPA6, is a receptor important for human hair growth.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
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 Physical and Functional Interaction between the Vitamin D Receptor and Hairless Corepressor, Two Proteins Required for Hair Cycling
Vitamin D receptor and hairless protein are essential for hair growth.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Lack of the Vitamin D Receptor is Associated with Reduced Epidermal Differentiation and Hair Follicle Growth
Vitamin D Receptor is crucial for normal skin and hair growth.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Novel lysophosphoplipid receptors: their structure and function
Lysophospholipids can act as anti-inflammatory agents through specific receptors, but more research is needed.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Molecular biology of hair morphogenesis: Development and cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research K ATP Channels and Cardiovascular Disease
K_ATP channel gene mutations are linked to heart diseases, but more research is needed to understand the connection and treatment potential.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research The disintegrin/metalloproteinase Adam10 is essential for epidermal integrity and Notch-mediated signaling
Adam10 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and proper Notch signaling.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research FGF Family: From Drug Development to Clinical Application
FGF signaling is a promising target for developing treatments for wounds, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids Is Developmentally Regulated and Shapes GABAAMiniature IPSCs in Lamina II of the Spinal Cord
Neurosteroids regulate synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and may help manage spinal pain.
