research Development of radioiodinated nonsteroidal androgen receptor ligands for spect imaging of prostate cancer
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School successfully created a special compound that can be used to improve imaging of prostate cancer.
research Multiple readout assay for hormonal (androgenic and antiandrogenic) and cytotoxic activity of plant and fungal extracts based on differential prostate cancer cell line behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Activation of liver X receptors inhibits experimental fibrosis by interfering with interleukin-6 release from macrophages
Activating liver X receptors can reduce fibrosis by stopping certain immune cells from releasing harmful proteins.
research Functional characterization of OR51B5 and OR1G1 in human lung epithelial cells as potential drug targets for non-type 2 lung diseases
Blocking certain receptors in the lungs might help treat a specific type of asthma.
research High-resolution structures of mutants of residues that affect access to the ligand-binding cavity of human lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase
Mutations in the enzyme don't significantly change how it binds to its specific substances.
research Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of elagolix in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Elagolix did not effectively treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Drug safety evaluation of exemestane
Exemestane is effective and safe for treating certain breast cancers, with mild side effects, but needs more research on long-term effects.
research The urine as a diagnostic key for a homozygous EGFR mutation
A rare EGFR mutation in newborns leads to severe health issues and early death.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Increased risk of hair loss with GLP-1 receptor agonists: A real-world multicenter TrinetX cohort study
research Data-driven strategies for drug repurposing: insights, recommendations, and case studies
Data-driven methods can effectively identify existing drugs for new uses, especially in cancer, infections, and respiratory diseases.
research Associations of prenatal and postnatal exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances with pubertal development and reproductive hormones in females and males: The HOME study
PFAS exposure in adolescence may delay puberty in females.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research In Vitro Biological Activity and In Vivo Human Study of Porcine-Placenta-Extract-Loaded Nanovesicle Formulations for Skin and Hair Rejuvenation
Porcine placenta extract may improve hair growth and skin health.
research Efficacy and safety evaluations of topical proretinal nanoparticles
Proretinal nanoparticles are a safe and effective way to deliver retinal to the skin.
research Immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen and progesterone receptors in endometrium and peritoneal endometriosis: A new quantitative method
The new method showed that endometriotic tissue has lower estrogen receptor levels but similar progesterone levels compared to normal endometrium, with both following a similar cycle.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Genome-wide shifts in gene expression induced in theca-interstitial cells by inflammatory stimuli
African American women have a higher risk of preterm delivery than Caucasian women, and inflammatory stimuli affect gene expression in cells related to PCOS, showing a heightened inflammatory state in women with PCOS.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
![Synthesis and In Vitro Study of 17β-[N-Ureylene-N,N′-Disubstituted]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as Selective Inhibitors of Type I 5α-Reductase](/images/research/d19df8a7-8de6-4430-8a0d-4ffa1f502985/small/15608.jpg)
research Synthesis and in vitro study of 17β-[N-ureylene-N,N′-disubstituted]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as selective inhibitors of type I 5α-reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
