research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Abnormal differentiation of epidermis in transgenic mice constitutively expressing cyclooxygenase-2 in skin
Overexpression of COX-2 in mice skin causes abnormal skin and hair development.
research The River of Stem Cells
The document concludes that certain chemicals can help maintain stem cell pluripotency and that understanding cell states is crucial for tissue regeneration.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Deletion of the Sox21 gene drastically affects hair lipids
Deleting the Sox21 gene changes hair lipid composition and increases cholesterol sulfate levels.
research Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of 5α, 6β-Dihalo Androsterone Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Compound 7b is a promising candidate for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
research The HOXC13-controlled expression of early hair keratin genes in the human hair follicle does not involve TALE proteins MEIS and PREP as cofactors
research Olig2 positive cells derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells in rats
Researchers found a way to make rat hair follicle cells start turning into motor neuron-like cells, but couldn't fully turn them into working motor neurons.
research A variant of the glucocorticoid receptor gene is not associated with adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Chaperones as thermodynamic sensors
New cancer treatments show promise in reducing tumor growth and improving skin regeneration in mice.
research Identification of the sulfotransferase iso-enzyme primarily responsible for the bio-activation of topical minoxidil.
A specific enzyme that activates the hair growth medication minoxidil when applied to the skin was identified.
research Regulation of a hair follicle keratin intermediate filament gene promoter
The LEF-1 binding site enhances gene expression in hair follicles, with other proteins aiding specific regulation.
research Inflammation dynamically regulates steroid hormone metabolism and action within macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis increases steroid activation in cells, reducing inflammation.
research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y1 receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice
Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
research FOXN1 Is Critical for Onycholemmal Terminal Differentiation in Nude (Foxn1nu) Mice
The Foxn1 gene is essential for normal nail and hair development.
research Clinical Snippets
A bull with a gene mutation was asymptomatic, synthetic retinoids cause hair loss, and new therapeutic targets were identified for skin diseases.
research Δ5-3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Activity in Sebaceous Glands of Scalp in Male-Pattern Baldness
research Docking and Molecular Dynamics Identify Leads against 5 Alpha Reductase 2 for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Treatment
New compounds show promise for treating benign prostate hyperplasia with fewer side effects.
research Polyamine-controlled proliferation and protein biosynthesis are independent determinants of hair follicle stem cell fate
Polyamines are important in deciding hair follicle stem cell behavior, affecting hair growth and loss.
research Inducing hair follicle organogenesis with defined environmental protein factors
Protein extract from embryonic skin can create new hair follicles in adult life, primarily through effects on fibroblasts.
research Profiling steroid and thyroid hormones with hair analysis in a cohort of women aged 25 to 45 years old
The method can measure multiple hormones in women's hair and may help identify hormone-related health issues.
research Inducible deletion of Dicer or Drosha reveals multiple functions for miRNAs in postnatal epidermis and hair follicles
miRNAs are crucial for hair growth and skin health.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research A Convenient Synthesis of (16S,20S)-3β-Hydroxy-5α-pregnane-20,16-carbolactam and Its N-alkyl Derivatives
A new, efficient method was developed to synthesize a specific compound and its derivatives.
research Social isolation‐induced increase in α4and δ subunit gene expression is associated with a greater efficacy of ethanol on steroidogenesis and GABAAreceptor function
Social isolation makes rats more sensitive to alcohol's effects on the brain.
research Pharmacophore Models for Toxicology Prediction
Pharmacophore models can predict liver toxicity and central nervous system toxicity, but they have limitations and specific requirements.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
