Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research Recent advances on the mechanisms of kidney stone formation (Review)
Kidney stones form due to factors like urine concentration, calcium deposits, hormones, gut bacteria, and immune response.
research Is COVID-19 Gender-sensitive?
Men have more severe COVID-19 outcomes than women.
research Signaling Involved in Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Development
The conclusion is that proper signaling is crucial for hair growth and development, and errors can lead to cancer or hair loss.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido and Erectile Dysfunction and Depression in a Subset of Patients
Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
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 More than one way to skin . . .
Skin stem cells help repair damage and maintain healthy skin.
research Melanogenesis is coupled to murine anagen: Toward new concepts for the role of melanocytes and the regulation of melanogenesis in hair growth
Hair color production in mice is closely linked to the hair growth phase and may also influence hair growth itself.
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 The diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency and its potential relationship to hair loss
Iron deficiency may be related to hair loss, but there's not enough evidence to recommend iron screening or supplements for all hair loss patients.
research Overexpression of activin A in the skin of transgenic mice reveals new activities of activin in epidermal morphogenesis, dermal fibrosis and wound repair
Overexpression of activin A in mice skin causes skin thickening, fibrosis, and improved wound healing.
research Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
research Metformin: an old medication of new fashion: evolving new molecular mechanisms and clinical implications in polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Hair cosmetics: An overview
Dermatologists need to understand hair products to treat hair and scalp issues better.
research Cutaneous adverse effects of targeted therapies
Targeted cancer therapies often cause serious skin problems that need careful management.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms (CAG Repeat Lengths) in Androgenetic Alopecia, Hirsutism, and Acne
Shorter CAG repeats may cause hair and skin issues, while longer ones may link to acne.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
research COVID-19 and Sex Differences
Men are more likely to have severe COVID-19 cases and fatalities than women due to factors like lifestyle, aging, and biological differences.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research The PDGF/PDGFR pathway as a drug target
The PDGF/PDGFR pathway is a potential drug target with mixed success in treating various diseases, including some cancers and fibrosis.
