research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research A Thallium-Based Screening Procedure to Identify Molecules That Modulate the Activity of Ca2+-Activated Monovalent Cation-Selective Channels
The conclusion is that a new test was created to find substances that affect specific ion channels, and it works well for drug discovery.
research Clinical, pathological, and molecular features of classical and L-type atypical-BSE in goats
Both classical and L-type atypical BSE from cattle can infect goats with different incubation times, and tests can distinguish between the two strains.
research Discovery of clinically approved drugs capable of inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 in vitro infection using a phenotypic screening strategy and network-analysis to predict their potential to treat covid-19
Four drugs were found that could potentially treat COVID-19 by inhibiting the virus in lab tests.
research Hair cell toxicology: With the help of a little fish
Zebrafish larvae are used to study and find treatments for ear cell damage because they are easier to observe and test than mammals.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Rule-out test for autism using machine-learning analysis of molecular temporal dynamics in hair - a multicenter study
A machine-learning test using hair can help detect autism early in infants.
research Characterisation of Myotonic Dystrophy type I cell models and drug evaluation by a cell- based quantification platform.
Antisense oligonucleotides show promise for treating Myotonic Dystrophy type I.
research Data from Targeting Superficial or Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma with Topically Formulated Small Molecule Inhibitor of Smoothened
The treatment was ineffective in humans.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Familial and Sporadic Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
Most patients with Porphyria Cutanea Tarda had skin blisters and were often affected by hepatitis C and alcohol abuse, with differences between familial and sporadic cases.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Screening of microRNA and mRNA related to secondary hair follicle morphogenesis and development and functional analysis in cashmere goats
Key molecular interactions were identified that help understand hair follicle development in cashmere goats.
research Peripheral blood gene expression in alopecia areata reveals molecular pathways distinguishing heritability, disease and severity
Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Advice on the safe introduction and continued use of isotretinoin in acne in the U.K. 2010
Isotretinoin is effective for severe acne but requires careful monitoring for side effects, especially in women who could become pregnant.
research Innovations in skin microphysiological systems for nonclinical testing and FDA modernization
New technologies replicate human skin for testing without animals.
research High-throughput screening of 3D co-culture hair follicle mimetic tissue with enhanced ECM for the screening of hair growth promoting compounds
The new 3D system helps test hair growth treatments effectively.
research Human Hair: An Important Biological Matrix of Interest
Human hair is a significant sample for various tests in clinical, nutritional, archaeological, and forensic studies.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Coumarin Derivatives Isolated from Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study of Their Binding to Androgen Receptors Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Scopolin and scopoletin from Merremia peltata leaves may help treat hair loss and showed promising results in rabbit tests.
research Stem cells, organoids and their applications for human diseases: Special issue of BMB Reports in 2023
Organoids created from stem cells are used to model diseases, test drugs, and develop personalized and regenerative medicine.
research Insulin resistance and its relationship with high molecular weight adiponectin in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and a maternal history of polycystic ovary syndrome
Teens with PCOS and a mom with PCOS have higher insulin resistance and lower adiponectin levels, which could signal early metabolic problems.
research Down-Stream molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
Plant roots respond to fungus smells by possibly using certain proteins and a plant hormone to change root growth, but more research is needed.
