research Cellular senescence in tissue repair: every cloud has a silver lining
Cell aging can be both good and bad for tissue repair.
research Defining Skin Fibroblastic Cell Types Beyond CD90
The conclusion is that CD90 is not a specific marker for fibroblast subtypes and better methods are needed to identify them.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research The ITGB6 gene: its role in experimental and clinical biology
The ITGB6 gene is important for tissue repair and hair growth, and mutations can lead to enamel defects and other health issues.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research 291 Gray-Scale Ultrasound to Assess Persistent Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men
Gray-scale ultrasound effectively detects erectile tissue fibrosis in young men with erectile dysfunction after using finasteride.
research Disorders of the Scalp and Hair
Different scalp and hair disorders are more common in certain ethnic groups, with the most common being androgenetic alopecia, which is treated with medications like minoxidil and finasteride.
research Wedelolactone Attenuates Pulmonary Fibrosis Partly Through Activating AMPK and Regulating Raf-MAPKs Signaling Pathway
Wedelolactone may help treat lung fibrosis by reducing inflammation and lung damage.
research The Role of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) in Pulmonary Fibrosis
mTOR inhibitors may help treat lung fibrosis.
research Network-based identification genetic effect of SARS-CoV-2 infections to Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients
SARS-CoV-2 may worsen IPF due to shared genes and pathways, suggesting potential drug targets.
research Nano-pulse stimulation™ therapy (NPS™) is superior to cryoablation in clearing murine melanoma tumors
Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ Therapy is more effective and less damaging than cryoablation for treating melanoma tumors in mice.
research Identification of A p300–SP1–BRD4 Transcriptional Axis as a Key Driver of AR Hyperactivation in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Targeting the p300/AR axis may help treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Efficacy and safety of bicalutamide in female hair loss: a review of the literature
Bicalutamide can reduce female pattern hair loss, especially in those with certain conditions, but has limited effects on other hair loss types.
research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research The Double Edge Sword of Testosterone’s Role in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Testosterone may influence COVID-19 severity and outcomes.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Serum dihydrotestosterone levels are associated with adverse myocardial remodeling in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis before and after aortic valve replacement
Higher DHT levels are linked to worse heart changes in severe aortic valve stenosis patients.
research Synopsis: 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology
The meeting highlighted promising genetic treatments for male fertility issues but noted concerns about certain cancer risks and ICSI safety.
research Progenitor Cell Dynamics in Androgenetic Alopecia: Insights from Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics
Targeting EMT and fibrotic remodeling may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Patient-reported outcomes, provider-reported outcomes, and physiologic parameters after gender-affirming hormone treatment in Canada: a systematic review
Gender-affirming hormone treatments need better patient-focused outcome measurements and standardized data collection.
research Use of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Dermatology: A Narrative Review
5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors are effective for male hair loss and some skin conditions, but their effectiveness in women and safety concerns require careful use.
research Profibrotic Subsets of SPP1+ Macrophages and POSTN+ Fibroblasts Contribute to Fibrotic Scarring in Acne Keloidalis
Corticosteroids can reduce scarring in acne keloidalis by targeting specific cells.
research Hydrogel crosslinking modulates macrophages, fibroblasts, and their communication, during wound healing
Softer hydrogels help wounds heal better with less scarring.
research An Updated Etiology of Hair Loss and the New Cosmeceutical Paradigm in Therapy: Clearing ‘the Big Eight Strikes’
New treatments for hair loss should target eight main causes and use specific plant compounds and peptides for better results.
research Side effects of androgen deprivation therapy: monitoring and minimizing toxicity
Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer can cause sexual, physical, and psychological side effects, and doctors should manage these carefully.
