540-570 / 1000+ resultsresearch Testosterone levels in healthy men and the relation to behavioural and physical characteristics: facts and constructs
Testosterone levels influence male behaviors and physical traits, but this relationship is complex and influenced by both internal and external factors.
research Selective Modulation of Hedgehog/GLI Target Gene Expression by Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling in Human Keratinocytes
EGF signaling affects gene expression in skin cells, influencing hair growth and potentially cancer.
research Human Hair Keratin‐Associated Proteins (KAPs)
Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido and Erectile Dysfunction and Depression in a Subset of Patients
Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 5% and 2% topical minoxidil solutions in the treatment of female pattern hair loss
5% and 2% minoxidil solutions effectively promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, with 5% being slightly more effective but having more side effects.
research Hair Analysis Provides a Historical Record of Cortisol Levels in Cushing's Syndrome
Hair analysis can track past cortisol levels in Cushing's Syndrome patients.
research Keratin 15 Expression in Stratified Epithelia: Downregulation in Activated Keratinocytes
Keratin 15 helps maintain tissue integrity and is reduced in activated keratinocytes.
research BRAF Inhibitor Dabrafenib in Patients with Metastatic BRAF-Mutant Thyroid Cancer
Dabrafenib was effective and well tolerated in treating thyroid cancer with a specific mutation.
research The role of hair follicles in the percutaneous absorption of caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Guidelines for the management of alopecia areata
The 2003 guidelines suggest that while some treatments can regrow hair in alopecia areata, none alter the disease's progression, and wigs may be the best option for extensive hair loss.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
research Cutaneous Scarring: Basic Science, Current Treatments, and Future Directions
New effective scar treatments are urgently needed due to the current options' limited success.
research Safety and Efficacy of Nucleic Acid Polymers in Monotherapy and Combined with Immunotherapy in Treatment-Naive Bangladeshi Patients with HBeAg+ Chronic Hepatitis B Infection
Nucleic acid polymers can enhance antiviral responses and improve treatment outcomes for chronic hepatitis B.
research GLI2 Is Expressed in Normal Human Epidermis and BCC and Induces GLI1 Expression by Binding to its Promoter
GLI2 activates GLI1, promoting skin tumor growth and hair development.
research Interventions for alopecia areata
Current treatments for alopecia show no significant long-term benefits.
research The role of VEGF and thrombospondins in skin angiogenesis
Targeting blood vessels may help treat skin diseases.
research Testosterone therapy for transgender men
Testosterone therapy in transgender men has both desired effects like increased muscle mass and potential health risks such as higher cardiovascular risk.
research Differential Stripping: Determination of the Amount of Topically Applied Substances Penetrated into the Hair Follicles
The new "differential stripping" method effectively measures how much substance gets into hair follicles.
research Photobiomodulation or low‐level laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy, now called photobiomodulation, is recognized for its broad medical applications and scientific backing.
research Polymeric Micelle Nanocarriers for the Cutaneous Delivery of Tacrolimus: A Targeted Approach for the Treatment of Psoriasis
New micelle nanocarriers deliver Tacrolimus more effectively to skin layers for psoriasis treatment than the current Protopic ointment.
research Facial Feminization: Systematic Review of the Literature
Facial feminization surgery is safe and patients are satisfied, but more detailed research is needed.
research S1-Leitlinie Post-COVID/Long-COVID
The guideline offers practical advice for diagnosing and treating Post-COVID/Long-COVID.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Independent genomewide screens identify the tumor suppressor VTRNA2-1 as a human epiallele responsive to periconceptional environment
The environment around the time of conception can change the VTRNA2-1 gene in a way that lasts for years and may affect disease risk.
research Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia in Rats by CDK Inhibitors
Using CDK inhibitors on rats showed a reduction in chemotherapy-caused hair loss, but later experiments could not repeat these results.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Cachexia and graft-vs.-host-disease-type skin changes in keratin promoter-driven TNF alpha transgenic mice.
TNF alpha in skin cells causes weight loss, hair and fat issues, and skin inflammation in mice.
research Micro‐RNA‐31 controls hair cycle‐associated changes in gene expression programs of the skin and hair follicle
