Ageratum conyzoides L. extract may effectively and safely treat hair loss.
research Structural & functional studies of L-PGDS and SMPDL3A enzymes in lipid signaling family
L-PGDS has specific binding sites for its functions and could help in drug delivery system design.
research 013 Prostaglandin D2 enhances testosterone metabolism by ROS-mediated altered redox potential in keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research 男性型脱毛症の原因についての手がかり
A substance called prostaglandin D2 is linked to stopping hair growth in men with common baldness.
research News updates
Early exposure to germs may protect against autoimmune diseases, lack of sex increases alcohol preference in fruit flies, a potential baldness treatment could involve blocking a specific receptor, skin memory cells help prevent re-infection, high-fat diets can affect brain cells related to weight, and the link between social status, stress, and heart disease in primates is unclear.
research 919 Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the skin of adult transgenic mice leads to sebaceous gland hyperplasia and thinning of hair shafts
Increasing COX-2 in mouse skin causes bigger sebaceous glands and thinner hair, but stopping COX-2 can reverse hair thinning.
research Influence of Human Placenta Extracts on Prostanoids Production in Cultured Hair Follicle-Derived Keratinocytes: The Possibility of Pharmaceutical Regenerative Medicine
Human placenta extract may promote hair growth by affecting certain lipid compounds.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
A substance called prostaglandin D2 is found more in bald scalps and it stops hair from growing. Blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth and could be a target for treating hair loss.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth, suggesting that blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
research La voie de la PGI2 pour améliorer la cicatrisation des plaies du pied diabétique
Targeting the PGI2 pathway may help heal diabetic foot ulcers.
research Abstract 5561: 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone downregulates full-length and ligand-independent splice variants of androgen receptor
20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone may help prevent and treat prostate cancer by reducing androgen receptor activity.
