Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research GROWTH FACTORS IN HAIR ORGAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Chapter 6 Fetal Skin Wound Healing
Fetal skin heals without scarring due to unique cells and processes not present in adult skin healing.
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 Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Transient CD44 Variant Isoform Expression and Reduction in CD4+/CD25+ Regulatory T Cells in C3H/HeJ Mice with Alopecia Areata
CD44 variant changes start alopecia areata, but don't maintain it.
research Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling controls hair pigmentation by means of cross-talk with the melanocortin receptor-1 pathway
BMP signaling affects hair color by interacting with the MC-1R pathway.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
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 Understanding the role of prostaglandin E2 in regulating human platelet activity in health and disease
Prostaglandin E2 affects human platelet activity in complex ways that could lead to personalized heart disease treatments.
research Wound healing in development
Wounds heal without scarring in early development but later result in scars, and studying Wnt signaling could help control scarring.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Calcium regulation of stem cells
Calcium is important for stem cell function and maintenance, especially in blood and skin cells.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
