research Importance of Sebaceous Glands in Cutaneous Penetration of an Antiandrogen: Target Effect of Liposomes
Sebaceous glands in the skin play a key role in absorbing the antiandrogen drug RU 58841, especially when it's encapsulated in liposomes.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Mechanisms of hepatocyte attachment to keratin biomaterials
Human liver cells stick to hair protein materials mainly through the liver's asialoglycoprotein receptor.
research A prospective, randomized trial comparing flutamide (250 mg/d) and finasteride (5 mg/d) in the treatment of hirsutism
Flutamide reduces hair growth better but has more side effects.
research A comparison between spironolactone and spironolactone plus finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Spironolactone plus finasteride reduces hirsutism more effectively.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research The bright side of fibroblasts: molecular signature and regenerative cues in major organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Zinc in skin pathology and care
Zinc can help with some skin problems, but its effectiveness varies depending on the condition.
research The development of several organs and appendages is impaired in mice lacking Sp6
Mice without the Sp6 gene have problems developing several body parts, including hair, teeth, limbs, and lungs.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Harnessing the Power of Regenerative Therapy for Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata
Regenerative therapies show promise for treating vitiligo and alopecia areata.
research Macrophage-Stimulating Protein Promotes Hair Growth Ex Vivo and Induces Anagen from Telogen Stage Hair Follicles In Vivo
Macrophage-stimulating protein helps hair grow and can start hair growth phase in mice and human hair samples.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research In Vitro Analysis of Finasteride Activity against Candida albicans Urinary Biofilm Formation and Filamentation
Finasteride effectively prevents biofilm formation and treats preformed biofilms, but requires high doses.
research CD34 glycoprotein identifies putative stem cells located in the isthmic region of canine hair follicles
CD34 marks potential stem cells in dog hair follicles.
research Identification of a new plant extract for androgenic alopecia treatment using a non-radioactive human hair dermal papilla cell-based assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Characterization and causal investigations of an alopecia syndrome in Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus)
Young female Australian fur seals are losing hair due to low tyrosine and zinc levels and high pollution exposure.
research Hirsutes II: Treatment
The document concludes that various cosmetic and drug treatments are available for hirsutism, and some new drugs show promise.
research Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair
Hair regrowth doesn't convert thin hairs to thick hairs, but increases overall hair density.
research A Japanese case of ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia syndrome with an MBTPS2 mutation
A Japanese patient with IFAP syndrome had a severe MBTPS2 gene mutation but showed milder symptoms than previously observed cases.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Endoplasmic reticulum stress at the crossroads of progeria and atherosclerosis
A defective protein in progeria causes cell death and atherosclerosis, but a treatment targeting cell stress may reduce these effects.
research Bone Mineral Density is Unaltered in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have similar bone density to healthy women, but those who are obese have higher bone density at some body sites.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research Deficiency of the human cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin M/E causes hypotrichosis and dry skin
Lack of cystatin M/E causes thin hair and dry skin.
