research Five year results of a prospective very low calorie diet or conventional weight loss programme in type 2 diabetes
The intensive conventional diet with exercise led to better long-term weight loss and health improvements than the very low calorie diet in obese type 2 diabetics.
research The cycling hair follicle as an ideal systems biology research model
The hair follicle is a great model for research to improve hair growth treatments.
research Recent advances in microneedle composites for biomedical applications: Advanced drug delivery technologies
Microneedle technology has improved drug delivery and patient comfort but needs more research for broader use.
research Zinc as an ambivalent but potent modulator of murine hair growth in vivo- preliminary observations
Zinc can both inhibit and stimulate mouse hair growth, and might help recover hair after chemotherapy.
research Influence of TRPV3 mutation on hair growth cycle in mice
The TRPV3 gene mutation affects hair growth by keeping mice in the growth phase longer, which could help treat hair loss.
research The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome: the criteria are insufficiently robust for clinical research
The current methods for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome are too vague and may lead to misdiagnosis and problems in research.
research AGD1, a class 1 ARF‐GAP, acts in common signaling pathways with phosphoinositide metabolism and the actin cytoskeleton in controlling Arabidopsis root hair polarity
AGD1 is important for root hair development in Arabidopsis, working with phosphoinositide signaling and the actin cytoskeleton.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Small molecules and small molecule drugs in regenerative medicine
Small molecule drugs show promise for advancing regenerative medicine but still face development challenges.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Prolonged treatment with finasteride (a 5α-reductase inhibitor) does not affect bone density and metabolism
Long-term finasteride use doesn't change bone density or metabolism.
research Functional identification of the phosphorylation sites of Arabidopsis PIN-FORMED3 for its subcellular localization and biological role
Phosphorylation of certain parts of the PIN3 protein is crucial for its role in plant root growth and response to gravity.
research Spontaneous hair follicle germ (HFG) formation in vitro, enabling the large-scale production of HFGs for regenerative medicine
Researchers found a new way to create hair-growing structures in the lab that can grow hair when put into mice.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Treatment of Severe Hypertension with Minoxidil: Advantages and Limitations
Minoxidil effectively controls blood pressure but side effects may limit its use.
research Clinical efficacy and safety of low‐dose flutamide alone and combined with an oral contraceptive for the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Low-dose flutamide helps reduce excessive hair growth and is even more effective with birth control, without bad effects on blood fats.
research When should an insulin sensitizing agent be used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Metformin should be used for PCOS mainly in those with glucose intolerance, and has limited benefits for infertility or hirsutism.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Retrospective evaluation of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Investigation of drug partition property in artificial sebum
The conclusion is that measuring how drugs partition into artificial sebum is important for predicting their delivery into hair and sebaceous follicles, and it provides better information than traditional methods.
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Male Breast Cancer and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Finasteride and Dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride does not increase the risk of male breast cancer.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Characterisation of cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation in a maximally proliferative human epithelial tissue: Lessons from the human hair follicle matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research Polyamines and hair: a couple in search of perfection
Polyamines are important for hair growth, but more research is needed to understand their functions and treatment potential.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Engineering the niche for hair regeneration — A critical review
Further research is needed to improve hair regeneration using stem cells and nanomaterials.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
