Research
300-330 / 1000+ results research Is SFRP-4 an early potential biomarker related to diabetes and hypertension, in patients with androgenic alopecia?
SFRP-4 might be an early indicator of diabetes and hypertension in men with androgenic alopecia.
research Contact Dermatitis Caused by Topical Minoxidil: Case Reports and Review of the Literature
Minoxidil can cause skin reactions, so testing is important for those with side effects.
research Weakly supervised learning of biomedical information extraction from curated data
The method can effectively extract biomedical information without needing expert annotation, performing better than previous models.
research EEMCO Guidance for the in vivo Assessment of Skin Greasiness
The document recommends using both clinical evaluation and various measurement methods to assess skin greasiness, considering factors like temperature and hormones.
research Cultured dermal papilla cells from androgen-dependent human hair follicles (e.g. beard) contain more androgen receptors than those from non-balding areas of scalp
Beard hair follicles have more androgen receptors than non-balding scalp hair follicles.
research Wedelolactone, a medicinal plant-derived coumestan, induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in prostate cancer cells via downregulation of PKCε without inhibiting Akt
Wedelolactone selectively kills prostate cancer cells without harming normal cells.
research Histochemical and Immunohistochemical Markers for Human Eccrine and Apocrine Sweat Glands: An Aid for Histopathologic Differentiation of Sweat Gland Tumors
Markers help differentiate between apocrine and eccrine sweat glands to identify sweat gland tumors.
research A review of the treatment of male pattern hair loss
Finasteride and minoxidil work best together for hair loss.
research Involvement of 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal in pollution‐induced skin damage
Pollution increases a compound in the skin that can lead to faster aging and more inflammation.
research Electrophysiological mechanisms of minoxidil sulfate-induced vasodilation of rabbit portal vein.
The study explains how minoxidil sulfate causes vasodilation in rabbits by opening potassium channels and inhibiting calcium channels.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research Testosterone 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitory Active Constituents of Piper nigrum Leaf
Black pepper leaf extract contains compounds that can block testosterone effects and promote hair growth.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Cutaneous Lesions in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Skin problems are common in lupus, important for diagnosis, and can be triggered by sunlight.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Use of the TrichoScan to Assess Female Pattern Hair Loss
TrichoScan helps identify subtle hair thinning in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Synthesis and Validation of Functional Nanogels as pH-Sensors in the Hair Follicle
Scientists created tiny pH-sensing gels that can safely measure the pH levels inside hair follicles.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions
Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.
research Treatment of alopecia areata with squaric acid dibutylester
Squaric acid dibutylester effectively treats alopecia areata.

research KATP Channel Openers Inhibit Lymphatic Contractions and Lymph Flow as a Possible Mechanism of Peripheral Edema
KATP channel openers may cause peripheral edema by reducing lymphatic contractions and flow.
research Androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition caused by testosterone effects on hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hair, diagnosed using scalp dermoscopy and treated with topical minoxidil, antiandrogen agents, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
research Considerations in genetic counseling of transgender patients: Cultural competencies and altered disease risk profiles
Genetic counselors should be culturally skilled and aware of transgender patients' unique health risks and needs.
research Promotion effect of acankoreoside J, a lupane-triterpene in Acanthopanax koreanum, on hair growth
Acankoreoside J from Acanthopanax koreanum may help promote hair growth.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Scalp Biophysical Characteristics in Males with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Comparative Study with Healthy Controls
Men with androgenetic alopecia have oilier and less hydrated scalps, especially in sensitive areas.
