Agouti and AGRP affect pigmentation and obesity, with implications for metabolic disorders.
research Peripheral MC1R Activation Modulates Immune Responses and is Neuroprotective in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
NDP-MSH protects brain cells and reduces inflammation in Parkinson's disease by activating MC1R and involving Tregs.
research Melasma and Endocrine Disorders
Melasma is a skin condition linked to female hormones, genetics, UV exposure, and certain medications, but not to pituitary, adrenal, or thyroid diseases.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.
research The senescence-like activity of BMS-470539 is associated with anti-fibrotic actions in models of dermal fibrosis

research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research CRF Receptor Antagonist Astressin-B Reverses and Prevents Alopecia in CRF Over-Expressing Mice
Astressin-B can reverse and prevent hair loss in stressed mice.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
research The Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Dermal Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Growth
Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in skin cells help regulate and promote hair growth.
research Comparative genome analyses reveal the unique genetic composition and selection signals underlying the phenotypic characteristics of three Chinese domestic goat breeds
Chinese domestic goats have unique genetic traits due to domestication and geographic isolation.
research Resequencing Analyses Revealed Genetic Diversity and Selection Signatures during Rabbit Breeding and Improvement
Genetic analysis of rabbits identified key genes for traits like coat color, body size, and fertility.
research How the leopard gets its spots: a transmembrane peptidase specifies feline pigmentation patterns
A gene called Taqpep affects cat coat patterns like stripes and blotches.

Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research Sequence-structure based phylogeny of GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors
The research found how GPCR Class A Rhodopsin receptors are related and suggested possible substances they interact with.
research 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid Promoted Hair Pigmentation Through β-Catenin and Its Target Genes
A substance called TCQA could potentially darken hair by activating certain genes and increasing melanin.
research Advances in mitochondria-centered mechanism behind the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes
Keratinocytes control how melanocytes work.
research Menopause and aging, quality of life and sexuality
Menopause and aging can affect women's quality of life and sexuality, but hormone therapies may help alleviate these issues.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Emerging Therapies for Acne Vulgaris
New acne treatments show promise as alternatives to traditional therapies.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research The aetiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris - what's new?
Acne is caused by multiple factors including oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and possibly diet and environment.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
