research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids Is Developmentally Regulated and Shapes GABAAMiniature IPSCs in Lamina II of the Spinal Cord
Neurosteroids regulate synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and may help manage spinal pain.
research Are the cutaneous manifestations during or due to SARS-CoV-2 infection/COVID-19 frequent or not? Revision of possible pathophysiologic mechanisms
Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
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 Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
5α-reductase inhibitors and alpha-1 adrenergic antagonists together effectively treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, with long-term benefits.
research Cinnamomi Cortex (Cinnamomum verum) Suppresses Testosterone-induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Regulating 5α-reductase
Cinnamomi cortex may help treat prostate enlargement by reducing related proteins.
research Mechanical Stretch Upregulates SDF-1α in Skin Tissue and Induces Migration of Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells into the Expanded Skin
Stretching skin increases a certain protein that attracts stem cells, helping skin regeneration.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Studying the genetic predisposing factors in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Becker's Nevus with Ipsilateral Breast Hypoplasia: Improvement with Spironolactone
Spironolactone may help enlarge a small breast linked to Becker's nevus.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
research IL-1 Receptor–Knockout Mice Develop Epidermal Cysts and Show an Altered Innate Immune Response after Exposure to UVB Radiation
IL-1 receptor absence in mice leads to skin cysts and changes in immune response after UVB exposure.
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 Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia With Cimetidine
A drug called cimetidine can help treat hair loss in women by blocking androgen receptors. However, it's not the first choice and needs more research.
research The 5-alpha reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Finasteride reduces movement issues in Parkinson's disease rats.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research COVID‐19, androgens, and androgenic alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research UPDATE ON IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.
research Minoxidil and male-pattern alopecia: a potential role for a local regulator of sebum secretion with vasoconstrictive effects?
Minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, might work by counteracting a hormone that reduces hair growth and promotes hair loss.
research The role of prostaglandins in androgenetic alopecia
Prostaglandins may contribute to male hair loss; targeting them could help treat it.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Coumarin Derivatives Isolated from Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study of Their Binding to Androgen Receptors Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
