30 / 1000+ resultsresearch Sexual dimorphism of growth plate prehypertrophic and hypertrophic chondrocytes in response to testosterone requires metabolism to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by steroid 5‐alpha reductase type 1
Male cells need DHT to respond to testosterone, while female cells do not.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research Sexual dimorphism of COVID-19 inspires drug repositioning and host-targeting immunotherapy for viral pneumonia
Balancing testosterone may reduce COVID-19 severity.
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Analysis of Hairline and Forehead Sexual Dimorphic Aesthetics in 60 Celebrities Using Artificial Intelligence
Women have smaller foreheads and different hairline shapes than men.
research Crosstalk between Immune Microenvironment and Hair Follicle Cells Underlies Sexual Dimorphism in Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in males and females is influenced by immune cell interactions, with potential treatments identified.
research 863 Molecular basis of hair follicle donor dominance in androgenetic alopecia and sexual dimorphism of the skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research Hormonal Organization of Sex Differences in Play Fighting and Spatial Behavior
Gonadal hormones may influence sex differences in play fighting in animals, but their effect on human spatial behavior is unclear and needs more research.
research Prolactin Signaling Influences the Timing Mechanism of the Hair Follicle: Analysis of Hair Growth Cycles in Prolactin Receptor Knockout Mice*
Prolactin affects when mice shed and grow hair.
research Evidence for Masculinization of Adipokine Gene Expression in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.
research Is there a relationship between alopecia and anthropometric indicators? Modern scientific view
Anthropometric measurements like weight and BMI may help identify alopecia risk groups.
research The Effect of Perinatal Blockade of Androgen Receptors on the Expression of Hypothalamic Estrogen Receptor‐a and Sexual Motivation in Male Rats
Blocking androgen receptors early in life increases estrogen levels and reduces sexual motivation in male rats.
research Distinct Transcriptional Profiles of the Female, Male, and Finasteride-Induced Feminized Male Anogenital Region in Rat Fetuses
Finasteride exposure affects gene expression and anogenital distance in male rat fetuses.
research Transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the formation and seasonal changes of nuptial pads in Rana chensinensis
Nuptial pads in Chinese brown frogs change seasonally due to specific gene activity.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research A PAX1 enhancer locus is associated with susceptibility to idiopathic scoliosis in females
A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Liver and Kidney Dysfunction in Wistar Rats Exposed to Municipal Landfill Leachate
Landfill leachate harms liver and kidneys in rats, posing health risks.

Sex steroids affect the MafB gene differently in male and female hamsters.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Sexually dimorphic effect of progesterone and its reduced metabolites on the gene expression of myelin proteins in rat Schwann cells
Progesterone and its metabolites affect myelin protein expression differently in male and female rat Schwann cells.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
