research Midazolam Inhibits Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation and Learning through Dual Central and Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor Activation and Neurosteroidogenesis
Midazolam impairs learning and memory by increasing neurosteroids through specific receptor activation.
research Development and progression of alopecia in the vitamin D receptor null mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Specific dermatologic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome and its association with biochemical markers of the metabolic syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Pitx2, a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor, regulates the differentiation of outer root sheath cells cultured in vitro
Pitx2 helps outer root sheath cells differentiate but can't start hair growth on its own.
research Topical minoxidil in early androgenetic alopecia
Using minoxidil on balding scalps can stimulate hair regrowth and increase blood flow. It's an effective treatment for early hair loss.
research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Alopecia and platelet-derived therapies
Platelet lysate is more effective than activated autologous platelet-rich plasma or saline in improving hair growth after hair restoration surgery.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Dermatologic Conditions in Transgender Populations
Transgender patients need proper skin care, especially when undergoing hormone treatments, to manage issues like acne and hair loss.
research Study on the zona pellucida 4 (ZP4) gene sequence and its expression in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.
research Development of Autoimmune Hair Loss Disease Alopecia Areata Is Associated with Cardiac Dysfunction in C3H/HeJ Mice
Mice with autoimmune hair loss showed signs of heart problems.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Brain-targeted intranasal delivery of protein-based gene therapy for treatment of ischemic stroke
Intranasal delivery of gene therapy shows promise for treating ischemic stroke.
research The Effect of Alfacalcidiol and Metformin on Phenotype Manifestations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – a Preliminary Study
Alfacalcidiol and metformin together lowered testosterone in women with PCOS, but did not significantly improve acne, hair growth, or pregnancy rates.
research Testosterone in COVID-19 – Foe, Friend or Fatal Victim?
Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.
research Demethylation of methionine and keratin damage in human hair
Copper and iron cause keratin damage in hair by converting methionine to homocysteine.
research Relation between mineral composition of human hair and common illnesses
Hair mineral content can help diagnose certain common illnesses.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research The role of B cell-activating factor system in autoimmune diseases: mechanisms, disease implications, and therapeutic advances
BAFF-targeted therapies can reduce autoimmune disease activity, but more research is needed for precise treatments.
research Ishige sinicola extract stimulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation via the bone morphogenetic protein 2/runt-related gene 2 signalling pathway
Ishige sinicola extract helps bone-building cells grow and mature, which could aid in treating osteoporosis.
research 1310 Anti-aging effects of retinoid hydroxypinacolone retinoate on skin models
