research Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Specific receptor detection by a functional keratinocyte growth factor-immunoglobulin chimera.
A new protein was made to detect specific skin cell growth receptors and worked in normal skin but not in skin cancer cells.
research Role of Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and weight management can improve symptoms.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Low level laser therapy and hair regrowth: an evidence-based review
Low-level laser therapy is safe and can increase hair growth for male and female pattern hair loss.
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 Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Does prostaglandin D2 hold the cure to male pattern baldness?
