research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research The Peripheral Clock Regulates Human Pigmentation
Certain genes control the color of human hair by affecting pigment production.
research Control of pelage hair follicle development and cycling by complex interactions between follistatin and activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Expression patterns of three estrogen receptor genes during zebrafish (Danio rerio) development: evidence for high expression in neuromasts
The three estrogen receptor genes are highly expressed in zebrafish neuromasts during development.
research Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
research p53 Involvement in the Control of Murine Hair Follicle Regression
The p53 protein helps control hair follicle shrinking by promoting cell death in mice.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and impact on health
PCOS affects women's health by increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and reproductive issues.
research Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Regulates Postnatal Hair Follicle Differentiation and Cycling
Blocking BMP signaling causes hair loss and disrupts hair growth cycles.
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 Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Changes in the PCOS phenotype with age
PCOS symptoms change with age; younger women have higher androgen levels and less metabolic issues, while older women face more metabolic challenges despite milder PCOS symptoms.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Cyclic dynamics of hair follicles and the effect of minoxidil on the bald scalps of stumptailed macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research Adverse Reactions to Oral Retinoids An Update
Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.
research Dupilumab: A Review of Present Indications and Off-Label Uses
Dupilumab is being tested for many new skin, respiratory, and gastrointestinal conditions.
research Hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovarian syndrome and role of CYP gene variants: a review
Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Module-based complexity formation: periodic patterning in feathers and hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Mechanisms and cell lineages in lymphatic vascular development
Lymphatic vessels develop from various cell types and mechanisms, not just veins.
research Curtailing PCOS
Lifestyle changes are the main treatment for PCOS, which is a complex condition requiring early management to reduce its health impacts.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts
Melanocyte precursors in human fetal skin follow a specific migration pattern and some remain in the skin's deeper layers.
research Alternative treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome: pre-clinical and clinical basis for using plant-based drugs
Plant-based drugs are effective and safe alternatives for managing PCOS symptoms.
research Autophagy is essential for maintaining the growth of a human (mini-)organ: Evidence from scalp hair follicle organ culture
Autophagy is important for human hair growth and health.
research Protective effects of melatonin against metabolic and reproductive disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Melatonin may help treat PCOS symptoms in rats.
