research Keratins in health and cancer: more than mere epithelial cell markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials as potential scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering applications
Improving artificial vascular grafts requires better materials and surface designs to reduce blood clotting and support blood vessel cell growth.
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 Improving human forensics through advances in genetics, genomics and molecular biology
DNA profiling in forensics has improved, but predicting physical traits and ancestry from DNA has limitations and requires ethical consideration.
research Treatment of invasive aspergillosis with itraconazole
Itraconazole is potentially effective for treating invasive aspergillosis, but more research is needed.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.

Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
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 Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research Microtechnology-based methods for organoid models
Microtechnology methods improve organoid production for medical research.
