research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Impact of One-Week Administration of Dihydrotestosterone in Rat Anterior Pituitary Gland
Dihydrotestosterone changes some hormone-related gene expressions in rat pituitary glands but doesn't affect the estrous cycle.
research Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research Use of the drug Wolvit® (biotin 5 mg) in treatment of defuse telogenous alopecia
Wolvit® (biotin 5 mg) is effective and safe for treating hair loss and scalp conditions in women.
research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Prospective Clinical Evaluation of Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler (30 mg) for Facial Rejuvenation
The dermal filler is safe and effective for improving facial appearance.
research How to Choose the Optimal Starting Dose of Clomiphene Citrate (50 or 100 mg per Day) for a First Cycle of Ovulation Induction in Anovulatory PCOS Women?
Choosing the right starting dose of Clomiphene Citrate for ovulation induction in PCOS women is challenging; higher BMI and hormone levels may indicate resistance to the standard dose.
research Lack of effect of spironolactone on hair shaft diameter in hirsute females
Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.
research Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist therapy for hirsutism is as effective as high dose cyproterone acetate but results in a longer remission
Hormone therapy for excessive hair growth is as good with GnRHa as with high-dose CPA, but GnRHa has longer-lasting results.
research Preliminary toxicity profile of arotinoids SMR-2 and SMR-6 in male B6D2F1 mice*1
SMR-2 and SMR-6 are much more toxic than retinoic acid, causing severe side effects.
research Pharmacological therapeutics in androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for treating hair loss, with dutasteride showing potential but with side effects.
research Retinol Esterification by DGAT1 Is Essential for Retinoid Homeostasis in Murine Skin
DGAT1 enzyme is crucial for healthy skin and hair by regulating retinoid levels.
research Endogenous Retinoids in the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Vitamin A affects hair loss and immune response in alopecia areata.
research Baricitinib Safety for Events of Special Interest in Populations at Risk: Analysis from Randomised Trial Data Across Rheumatologic and Dermatologic Indications
Baricitinib, a drug for rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata, is generally safe with low risk of major side effects, even in patients with risk factors. It's also effective in promoting hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.
research Generation of iPS-derived model cells for analyses of hair shaft differentiation
Researchers created a mouse cell line to study hair growth and test hair growth drugs.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Two Opposing Faces of Retinoic Acid: Induction of Stemness or Induction of Differentiation Depending on Cell-Type
Retinoic acid can either maintain stem cells or make them specialize, depending on the cell type.
research Retinoic acid exerts sexually dimorphic effects on muscle energy metabolism and function
Retinoic acid affects male and female muscle energy use and function differently.
research Agouti and Agouti-related Protein: Analogies and Contrasts
