research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research The transdermal inhibition of melanogenesis by a cell-membrane-permeable peptide delivery system based on poly-arginine
A new skin-whitening agent using a peptide from wheat is safe and effective at reducing skin pigmentation.
research Allopregnanolone promotes proliferation and differential gene expression in human glioblastoma cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research Hormonal therapy in female pattern hair loss
Hormonal therapies help treat female hair loss, but results are slow and vary.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Somatization in the dermatology patient: Some sociocultural perspectives
Skin symptoms without a medical cause often reflect psychological stress and are influenced by culture, requiring a team approach for treatment.
research Side effects of mesotherapy - review
Mesotherapy can cause bruises, swelling, and serious complications, so awareness and careful practice are important.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research SHISA6 Confers Resistance to Differentiation-Promoting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Mouse Spermatogenic Stem Cells
SHISA6 helps maintain certain stem cells in mouse testes by blocking signals that would otherwise cause them to differentiate.
research What do we know about phytotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Some plant-based treatments can help with benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Bioengineering Skin Constructs
Future research should focus on making bioengineered skin that completely restores all skin functions.
research Regenerative Medicine of Epidermal Structures
New treatments for skin and hair repair show promise, but further improvements are needed.
research Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Hair cycle-specific expression of versican in human hair follicles
Versican, a protein, is less present in thinning hair follicles and this decrease might contribute to common hair loss in men.
research Preparation and characterization of dutasteride-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers coated with stearic acid-chitosan oligomer for topical delivery
The new dutasteride formula can be applied to the skin, may promote hair growth, and has fewer side effects.
research Long-Term Removal of Unwanted Hair Using Light
Laser and light treatments can effectively remove hair long-term.
research Group IID, IIE, IIF and III secreted phospholipase A2s
Different sPLA2 enzymes affect immunity, skin and hair health, reproduction, and may be potential targets for therapy.
research Chronic administration of minoxidil protects elastic fibers and stimulates their neosynthesis with improvement of the aorta mechanics in mice
Minoxidil helps protect and rebuild elastic fibers in arteries, improving artery function, especially in older females.
research Association of type 2 diabetes with central-scalp hair loss in a large cohort study of African American women
Type 2 diabetes may increase the risk of severe hair loss in African American women.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Expression Level of Prostaglandin D2 Receptor 2 Regulates Hair Regression
Higher levels of the DP2 receptor may lead to hair loss.
research Finasteride
Finasteride helps hair growth and prostate issues but may cause sexual side effects and increase tumor risk.
research Quantitative Single-Cell Approaches to Stem Cell Research
New single-cell analysis techniques are improving our understanding of stem cells and could help in treating diseases.
research Physiologic functions of PP2A: Lessons from genetically modified mice
Mice studies show that Protein Phosphatase 2A is crucial for cell growth, development, and disease prevention.
research Stem cells and the circadian clock
The circadian clock influences the behavior and regeneration of stem cells in the body.
