research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Morpho‐regulation in diverse chicken feather formation: Integrating branching modules and sex hormone‐dependent morpho‐regulatory modules
Sex hormones, especially estradiol, can change chicken feather shapes and colors.
research Melatonin in the skin: synthesis, metabolism and functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research cis-Element- and Transcriptome-Based Screening of Root Hair-Specific Genes and Their Functional Characterization in Arabidopsis
Researchers found 19 genes important for root hair growth in a plant called Arabidopsis.
research ATP-competitive mTOR kinase inhibitors delay plant growth by triggering early differentiation of meristematic cells but no developmental patterning change
Certain inhibitors slow down plant growth by causing early cell specialization without changing the cell development pattern.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Adrenal steroid hormone concentrations in dogs with hair cycle arrest (Alopecia X) before and during treatment with melatonin and mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Coat condition, housing condition and measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites - a non-invasive study about alopecia in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Alopecia in captive rhesus macaques is affected by season, sex, age, housing, and stress, with complex links between stress hormones and hair loss.
research Behavioral dermatology
Behavioral dermatology treats skin problems by considering both emotional and physical factors.
research Differential effects of melatonin as a broad range UV-damage preventive dermato-endocrine regulator
Melatonin protects skin against UV damage by regulating various cellular processes.
research Manifestation of Hyperandrogenism in the Continuous Light Exposure-Induced PCOS Rat Model
Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
The study concluded that three enzymes are important for plant development by affecting sugar composition and calcium binding in plants.
research Phosphatidylinositol‐specific phospholipase C2 functions in auxin‐modulated root development
A protein called PLC2 is important for the growth and development of plant roots influenced by auxin.
research Cross-species sensitivity to a novel androgen receptor agonist of potential environmental concern, spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research Procyanidins attenuate neuropathic pain by suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-9/2
Procyanidins from grape seeds reduce nerve pain by blocking specific proteins and inflammation.
research Antiandrogenic activities ofGlycyrrhiza glabrain male rats
Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Melatonin induces a stimulatory action on the scrotal skin components of Soay ram in the non-breeding season
Melatonin stimulates the skin components of ram's scrotum during their non-breeding season.
research Melatonin supplement induced the hair follicle development in offspring rex rabbits
Melatonin given to pregnant rabbits improved their babies' fur quality.
research Inhibition of prolactin promotes secondary skin follicle activation in cashmere goats
Blocking prolactin increases the activity of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats.
research A volatile producing Bacillus subtilis strain from the rhizosphere of Haloxylon ammodendron promotes plant root development
Bacillus subtilis strain WM13-24 helps plant root growth through volatile compounds.
research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
