research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research “Sebocytes’ makeup” - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research RANK as a therapeutic target in cancer
RANK is a key target in breast cancer treatment due to its role in tumor growth and bone metastasis.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Nuclear Localization of STAT5A Modified with O-Linked N-Acetylglucosamine and Early Involution in the Mammary Gland of Hirosaki Hairless Rat
Early involution in Hirosaki hairless rats' mammary glands is linked to a unique modification of STAT5A.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Experimental Production of Cutaneous Calcinosis and Sclerosis with Dihydrotachysterol (AT-10) 1
Giving dihydrotachysterol to mother rats caused skin hardening and bone issues in their babies through milk.
research Pharmacological Treatment of Alopecia
Only minoxidil and finasteride are FDA-approved for hair loss, with other treatments available but less effective or with side effects.
research Stabilization of epithelial β-catenin compromises mammary cell fate acquisition and branching morphogenesis
Too much β-catenin activity can mess up the development of mammary glands and make them more like hair follicles.
research Pilosebaceous Unit (PSU)
Androgens and other hormones affect hair growth and skin conditions like acne.
research Current evaluation of amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.
research Clinical and genetic findings in a Chinese family with VDR-associated hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets
A Chinese family had a child with a specific gene mutation causing vitamin D-resistant rickets, but the child improved with calcium and low-dose calcitriol.
research Skin manifestations of chronic kidney disease
People with advanced chronic kidney disease often have skin problems, which can be treated with various medications and procedures to improve their quality of life.
research The impact of VDR expression and regulation in vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research The vitamin D receptor functions as a transcription regulator in the absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
The vitamin D receptor can regulate genes and affect hair and hormone levels without its usual activator.
research Clinical Snippets
A hormone affects hair growth, certain molecules may prevent skin damage, a skin disease is linked to immune cells, glycerol helps skin hydration, and psoriasis treatment trials need improvement.
research SUN-117 A Rare Case of Virilization in a Postmenopausal Woman with Concurrent Hypercalcemia
A postmenopausal woman had rare symptoms due to a possible ovarian tumor, needing thorough evaluation.
research Head and Neck 3D Bioprinting—A Review on Recent Advancements in Soft Tissue 3D Bioprinting and Medical Applications
3D bioprinting offers new ways to treat head and neck defects with bioinks that mimic natural tissues.
research Sostdc1 defines the size and number of skin appendage placodes
Sostdc1 controls the size and number of hair and mammary gland structures.
research Stabilization of epithelial β-catenin compromises mammary cell fate acquisition and branching morphogenesis
Keeping β-catenin levels high in mammary cells disrupts their development and branching.
research 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistance, rickets, and alopecia
A genetic defect in vitamin D receptors causes severe rickets and hair loss in children, but some heal as they age.
research Genetic Disorders and Defects in Vitamin D Action
Two rare genetic diseases cause severe rickets in children due to defects in vitamin D metabolism.
research Complete Pseudo-Anodontia in an Adult Woman with Pseudo-Hypoparathyroidism Type 1a: A New Additional Nonclassical Feature?
A woman with a rare hormone resistance condition also had missing teeth and hair loss, which might be new symptoms of her genetic disorder.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research Genetic basis of skin appendage development
Hair, teeth, and mammary glands develop similarly at first but use different genes later.
