Research
600-630 / 1000+ resultsresearch Keratin cytoskeletons in epithelial cells of internal organs
Keratins provide structural strength in epithelial cells and help identify cell origins.
research The Membrane-Anchored BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 Plays Distinct Roles in Arabidopsis Resistance to Necrotrophic and Biotrophic Pathogens
BIK1 gene helps plants resist some pathogens but makes them more vulnerable to others.
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 microbiome in patients with atopic dermatitis
People with atopic dermatitis have different skin bacteria, and targeting these bacteria might help treat the condition.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: A multicenter review of 355 patients
Most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia are postmenopausal women, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride can improve or stabilize the condition.
research Cytoplasmic free calcium distributions during the development of root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana
Calcium is crucial for sustaining root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
research Large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome suggests shared genetic architecture for different diagnosis criteria
The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.
research On the etiology of vitiligo and gray hair
Melanocytes are destroyed by factors needed for melanin production, causing vitiligo and gray hair.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Unselected Caucasian Women from Spain
About 6.5% of young Caucasian women in Spain have polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Expression of epidermal keratins and filaggrin during human fetal skin development.
Keratins and filaggrin change as fetal skin develops, marking key stages of skin formation.
research Metabolic features of the reproductive phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with the NIH type of PCOS have more obesity and higher risk of diabetes and heart disease than those with other types of PCOS.
research Apoptosis in human skin development: Morphogenesis, periderm, and stem cells
Apoptosis is essential for human skin development and forming a functional epidermis.
research Expression and function of FGFs-4, -8, and -9 suggest functional redundancy and repetitive use as epithelial signals during tooth morphogenesis
FGFs-4, -8, and -9 have overlapping roles and are repeatedly used in tooth development.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Kinase Inhibition with BAY 43–9006 in Renal Cell Carcinoma
BAY 43-9006 helps control kidney cancer growth but doesn't significantly increase overall survival.
research Chronic telogen effluvium: Increased scalp hair shedding in middle-aged women
Middle-aged women with chronic telogen effluvium experience increased hair shedding but usually don't get significantly thinner hair.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
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 Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins preventing lifestyle‐related diseases
Food-derived peptides may help prevent diseases like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and can support the immune system.
research Interleukin 6: insights to its function in skin by overexpression in transgenic mice.
Interleukin 6 may help protect skin without causing inflammation.
research Discovery of Nonsteroidal Androgens
Scientists found new nonsteroidal compounds that can act like natural male hormones and might help treat male fertility and hormone issues.
research GhDET2, a steroid 5α‐reductase, plays an important role in cotton fiber cell initiation and elongation
GhDET2 is crucial for cotton fiber growth.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research Alopecia Areata: A tissue specific autoimmune disease of the hair follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.
research Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) Is Required for Normal Development of Skin and Thymus
The Apc gene is crucial for normal skin and thymus development.
research Enhanced delivery of drugs into and across the skin by ethosomal carriers
