research The safety of 52 weeks of oral DHEA therapy for postmenopausal women
Taking DHEA for a year is generally safe for postmenopausal women but may cause acne and more facial hair without improving metabolism or aging.
research Elevated carbon dioxide levels lead to proteome-wide alterations for optimal growth of a fast-growing cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus PCC 11801
Higher CO2 levels help a cyanobacterium grow better by boosting photosynthesis and carbon uptake.
research Ultrasonographic and laboratory markers of metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Obese women with PCOS are more likely to have fatty liver disease.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Design and synthesis of novel androgen receptor antagonists with sterically bulky icosahedral carboranes
New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.
research Structural insights into SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its natural mutants found in Mexican population
Mutations in the spike protein affect drug binding and effectiveness.
research Natural Bizbenzoquinoline Derivatives Protect Zebrafish Lateral Line Sensory Hair Cells from Aminoglycoside Toxicity
Some natural compounds can protect fish ear cells from damage by certain antibiotics without affecting the antibiotics' ability to fight infections.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research Ghrelin levels are suppressed and show a blunted response to oral glucose in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Women with PCOS have lower ghrelin levels and a weaker response to sugar, which might affect their feeling of fullness and lead to overeating.
research Genome-wide meta-analysis implicates mediators of hair follicle development and morphogenesis in risk for severe acne
Genetic variations affecting skin structure play a key role in severe acne.
research Recent Progress in Prostaglandin F2αEthanolamide (Prostamide F2α) Research and Therapeutics
New research on prostamide F2α has led to treatments for glaucoma and eyelash growth and may have more medical uses.
research TGF‐β2 is specifically expressed in human dermal papilla cells and modulates hair folliculogenesis
TGF-β2 plays a key role in human hair growth and development.
research Repurposing of Drugs as Novel Influenza Inhibitors From Clinical Gene Expression Infection Signatures
A blood pressure drug, diltiazem, may also help treat influenza.
research Insulin resistance and obesity among infertile women with different polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Women with PCOS are more likely to have insulin resistance and obesity, especially those with the most severe type I PCOS.
research The investigation of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Early balding men may have insulin resistance, but lifestyle changes can help.
research 17-Hydroxyprogesterone Responses to Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Disclose Distinct Phenotypes of Functional Ovarian Hyperandrogenism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The research found that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has two distinct types, with one having more severe hormone and insulin issues.
research Proliferation, but Not Apoptosis, Is Associated with Distinct β-Catenin Expression Patterns in Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinomas
Distinct β-catenin patterns are linked to cell growth, not cell death, in lung cancer.
research Trypanocidal Effect of Isotretinoin through the Inhibition of Polyamine and Amino Acid Transporters in Trypanosoma cruzi
Isotretinoin shows promise as a treatment for Chagas disease by effectively inhibiting key transporters in the parasite.
research Recent advances in oxasteroids chemistry
New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.
research Minoxidil Skin Delivery from Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Eucalyptol or Oleic Acid: Enhanced Diffusivity and Follicular Targeting
Eucalyptol and oleic acid in nanoemulsions improve minoxidil delivery to hair follicles, potentially enhancing hair loss treatment.
research Anti-MRSA malleable liposomes carrying chloramphenicol for ameliorating hair follicle targeting
DA liposomes with chloramphenicol effectively target hair follicles and combat MRSA with minimal skin toxicity.
research Keratin network modifications lead to the mechanical stiffening of the hair follicle fiber
Changes in keratin make hair follicles stiffer.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Associations between transition‐specific stress experience, nocturnal decline in ambulatory blood pressure, and C‐reactive protein levels among transgender men
Stress from being transgender is linked to higher blood pressure at night and more inflammation, which may affect heart health.
research Chronic telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration
Chronic hair shedding may be caused by less variation in hair growth times and might stop on its own after several years.
research Comprehensive analysis of circRNAs from cashmere goat skin by next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)
Four circRNAs were found to be significantly different in cashmere goat skin, affecting cashmere fineness.
research Photobiomodulation of human dermal fibroblasts in vitro: decisive role of cell culture conditions and treatment protocols on experimental outcome
Different lab conditions and light treatment methods change how human skin cells respond to light therapy.
