research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research Expression of AKT1 along with AKT2 in granulosa-lutein cells of hyperandrogenic PCOS patients
The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research Efficacy of metformin therapy in adolescent girls with androgen excess: relation to sex hormone–binding globulin and androgen receptor polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research Effects of topical application of EGCG on testosterone-induced hair loss in a mouse model
Applying EGCG on the skin can prevent hair loss caused by testosterone in mice.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research Root hair growth from the pH point of view
pH changes are crucial for root hair growth because they affect enzymes and proteins that control the cell wall and growth.
research The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycaemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver
Finasteride-treated male rats' offspring had altered glucose metabolism, potentially increasing diabetes risk.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Active Antialopecia Chemical Identification of Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study toward Androgen Receptor Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Merremia peltata leaf extract, particularly the bufotalinin compound, shows potential for treating hair loss.
research A response to “Male balding is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19”
The authors suggest that scalp hair might protect against COVID-19 and call for more research on scalp health and the virus.
research [Construction and identification of mouse model with conditional knockout of p75 neurotrophin receptor gene in epidermal cells by Cre-loxP system].
Removing the p75 gene in mouse skin cells didn't affect their skin or hair growth.
research Androgens inhibit phagocytosis by macrophages via the androgen receptor in vitro
Male hormones can decrease the ability of immune cells to fight bacteria.
research Oxytocin Receptor Expression in Hair Follicle Stem Cells: A Promising Model for Biological and Therapeutic Discovery in Neuropsychiatric Disorders
research Mesenchyme governs hair follicle induction
The mesenchyme can start hair growth, but the exact signal that causes this is still unknown.
research Cancer risk in polycystic ovary syndrome patients: Common treatments and future perspectives
PCOS is linked to a higher risk of endometrial cancer but not ovarian or breast cancer, and more research is needed on its role in cancer development and treatment effects.
research Evaluation of Serum UL16 Binding Protein 3 in Patients with Tinea capitis
ULBP3 levels are higher in Tinea capitis patients and may help predict the disease's severity.
research 033 IL-15 is an unexpected guardian of hair follicle immune privilege and promotes human hair growth ex vivo
IL-15 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks and encourages hair growth.
research Editor’s picks January 2021
PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
research 975 Antifibrogenic activities of novel vitamin D3 analogs are dependent on VDR expression in human fibroblasts
