research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
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 Defolliculated (Dfl): A Dominant Mouse Mutation Leading to Poor Sebaceous Gland Differentiation and Total Elimination of Pelage Follicles
The Dfl mutation in mice causes poor sebaceous gland function and complete hair loss.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research Hydrogel from Acellular Porcine Adipose Tissue Accelerates Wound Healing by Inducing Intradermal Adipocyte Regeneration
A hydrogel made from pig fat helps wounds heal faster by regenerating skin fat cells.
research Effects of In Utero Exposure to D-004, a Lipid Extract from Roystonea regia Fruits, in the Male Rat: A Comparison with Finasteride
D-004 may be a natural alternative to finasteride for treating enlarged prostate and male baldness.
research Adipose and Hair Function: An aPPARent Connection
Fat tissue and a specific protein are crucial for healthy hair growth and maintenance.
research Dermatologic Diseases
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing skin diseases in ferrets.
research Scalp Sebaceous Physiology
The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.
research PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS FOR CLINICAL USE OF ANTIANDROGENS
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.
research Histomorphology and Chemical Constituents of Interdigital Gland of Vembur Sheep, Ovis aries
The interdigital gland of Vembur sheep shows sex-based differences in size and chemical makeup, possibly affecting communication and disease protection.
research Diseases of the Canine Prostate Gland
The main prostate diseases in dogs are benign growth, infections, and cancer, with various treatments ranging from drugs to surgery, but cancer treatments have limited success.
research Finasteride as a positive control on reproduction studies
Finasteride causes reproductive malformations in male rats.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Asebia-2J (Scd1ab2J): A New Allele and a Model for Scarring Alopecia
The absence of functional sebaceous glands causes hair follicle destruction and scarring alopecia.
research C/EBPα and C/EBPβ Are Required for Sebocyte Differentiation and Stratified Squamous Differentiation in Adult Mouse Skin
C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.
research Actions of isotretinoin and etretinate on the pilosebaceous unit
Isotretinoin shrinks sebaceous glands without affecting hair or skin color, unlike etretinate.
research Hair Growth Cycle Is Arrested in SCD1 Deficiency by Impaired Wnt3a-Palmitoleoylation and Retrieved by the Artificial Lipid Barrier
An artificial lipid barrier can restore hair growth in cases of SCD1 deficiency.
research Activation of Nrf2 in keratinocytes causes chloracne (MADISH)‐like skin disease in mice
Activating Nrf2 in skin cells causes skin disease similar to chloracne in mice.
research Impaired Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling with Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation in nackt Mice, a Cathepsin L-Deficient Mutation
Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
research New developments in our understanding of acne pathogenesis and treatment
We now understand more about what causes acne and this could lead to better, more personalized treatments.
research Human Skin is a Steroidogenic Tissue: Steroidogenic Enzymes and Cofactors Are Expressed in Epidermis, Normal Sebocytes, and an Immortalized Sebocyte Cell Line (SEB-1)
Human skin can produce steroids from cholesterol.
research PPAR-γ Agonists and Their Role in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
research Epidermal PPARγ Is a Key Homeostatic Regulator of Cutaneous Inflammation and Barrier Function in Mouse Skin
PPARγ is essential for maintaining healthy skin, controlling inflammation, and ensuring proper skin barrier function.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Canine Sertoli cell tumor: anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin B, and estrone sulphate
The dog's skin condition improved after removing a tumor that was causing hormone imbalances.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
