Severe COVID-19 may increase lung cancer risk and affect treatment in women due to hormonal changes.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.

Men with frontal male pattern baldness may have a higher risk of gastric cancer.
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 Endocrine systems of the skin
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.
research The GPR30 agonist G-1 promotes hair growth via Wnt/Hedgehog signaling in mice
G-1 promotes hair growth in female mice by activating specific signaling pathways.
research Feather on the Cap of Medicine
Feathers are useful for researching growth, regeneration, and the effects of treatments like chemotherapy on hair loss.
research Sex steroid levels in corresponding cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples quantified by mass spectrometry in men
DHEA is the main sex steroid in cerebrospinal fluid, and testosterone in the fluid comes from the blood.
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 Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Prolactin: A Mammalian Stress Hormone and Its Role in Cutaneous Pathophysiology
Prolactin affects skin health and may lead to new treatments for skin and hair issues.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin

research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Physiology of Male Gonadotropic Axis and Disorders of Sex Development
Understanding genes and hormones is crucial for managing male puberty and sex development disorders.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Signaling pathways in hair aging
Hair aging is caused by stress, hormones, inflammation, and DNA damage affecting hair growth and color.
research Alleviation of Androgenetic Alopecia with Aqueous Paeonia lactiflora and Poria cocos Extract Intake through Suppressing the Steroid Hormone and Inflammatory Pathway
Paeonia lactiflora and Poria cocos extracts can potentially increase hair growth and reduce hair loss symptoms by lowering testosterone and inflammation levels.
