research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research Impaired Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling with Abnormal Epidermal Differentiation in nackt Mice, a Cathepsin L-Deficient Mutation
Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.
research Genetic Defects in Human Pericentrin Are Associated With Severe Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Endocrine-skin interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
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 Developing stratified epithelia: lessons from the epidermis and thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research The role of R-spondins and their receptors in bone metabolism
R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research Genome-wide association study of skin complex diseases
Genetic variants linked to ten skin diseases were found, showing both immune and non-immune factors play a role.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research Differences in reproductive toxicology between alopecia drugs: an analysis on adverse events among female and male cases
Finasteride has a higher risk of reproductive side effects than minoxidil.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research HAIR MATRIX CELL KINETICS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.
research Immuno-Endocrinology of COVID-19: The Key Role of Sex Hormones
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.
research The immune response to COVID ‐19: Does sex matter?
Men and women get COVID-19 at similar rates, but men tend to get sicker and have a higher risk of dying, while women usually have stronger immune responses and vaccine reactions.
research Sex Identification of Feather Color in Geese and the Expression of Melanin in Embryonic Dorsal Skin Feather Follicles
Female goslings have darker feathers than males due to more melanin.
research Protective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
research Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex
Sex hormones affect liver fat and metabolic health differently in men and women.
research Early Dengue Virus Infection in Human Skin: A Cycle of Inflammation and Infectivity
