research Gender Differences in Skin Aging and the Changing Profile of the Sex Hormones with Age
The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Pemphigus vulgaris in only one of two monozygotic twins
Genetic factors alone might not cause pemphigus vulgaris; other factors like birth complications and puberty may trigger it.
research Stem cell rejuvenation and the role of autophagy in age retardation by caloric restriction: An update
Eating less can slow aging and help keep stem cells healthy by cleaning out damaged cell parts.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research Topical absorption and systemic toxicity
Some chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause serious health problems.
research Study on the zona pellucida 4 (ZP4) gene sequence and its expression in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research The stumptailed macaque as a model for baldness: effects of minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth in early baldness stages and prevents baldness in non-bald scalps.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research Targeting host cell proteases as a potential treatment strategy to limit the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2 in the respiratory tract
Blocking enzymes that help the virus enter cells could be a promising way to treat COVID-19.
research Cardiovascular toxicity of minoxidil in the marmoset
High doses of minoxidil can harm marmoset hearts and kidneys, possibly affecting humans similarly.
research Pharmacologic management of pattern hair loss
Treat pattern hair loss with finasteride and topical minoxidil.
research Inhibition of steroid 5 alpha-reductase with finasteride: sleep-related erections, potency, and libido in healthy men.
Finasteride doesn't affect erections much, but may decrease libido in men.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Progress and prospects: gene therapy for performance and appearance enhancement
Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.
research Antiviral effects of human placenta hydrolysate (Laennec®) against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro and in the ferret model
Human placenta hydrolysate may help treat COVID-19 by reducing virus replication and boosting immune response.
research Vitamin D receptor-mediated control of Soggy, Wise, and Hairless gene expression in keratinocytes
Vitamin D receptor helps control hair growth genes in skin cells.
research Evaluation of hair growth promoting activity of Musa paradisiaca unripe fruit extract
Unripe banana extract may promote hair growth similar to minoxidil.
research Identifying molecular targets for reverse aging using integrated network analysis of transcriptomic and epigenomic changes during aging
Curcumin may help reverse aging by targeting specific genes.
research A Comprehensive Approach to Hair Pathology of Horizontal Sections
A new method using visual aids to diagnose hair diseases was effective after brief training.
research Diagnostic applications and therapeutic option of Cascade CRISPR/Cas in the modulation of miRNA in diverse cancers: promises and obstacles
CRISPR/Cas systems show promise for cancer treatment by targeting miRNAs, but delivery and specificity challenges remain.
research Autoantigen Discovery in the Hair Loss Disorder, Alopecia Areata: Implication of Post-Translational Modifications
New protein changes may be involved in the immune attack on hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research In vivo and in vitro hair growth‐promoting effect of silver and iron nanoparticles synthesized via Blumea eriantha DC plant extract
Silver nanoparticles can significantly promote hair growth.
research Anti-Zika Activity of a Library of Synthetic Carbohydrate Receptors
Some synthetic carbohydrate receptors, especially compounds 3 and 15, show strong potential for treating Zika virus.
research Chemoprevention of doxorubicin-induced alopecia in mice by dietary administration of l-cystine and vitamin B6
L-cystine and vitamin B6 at high doses prevented hair loss in mice treated with a chemotherapy drug.
