TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research In vitro and in vivo evaluation of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles for topical applications: effect of surface coating and loading into hydrogels
Silver nanoparticles coated with substances like PEG showed strong antibacterial effects and improved wound healing when used in hydrogels.
research Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for Pathogenesis and Novel Management Strategies
Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Probiotic Bacteria Induce a ‘Glow of Health’
Probiotic bacteria improved skin and hair health in aged mice.
research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine: Achievements, Future, and Sustainability in Asia
Asia has made significant progress in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but wider clinical use requires more development.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome, androgen excess, and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women: A longitudinal study based on a United Kingdom primary care database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Short‐ and Long‐Term Clinical Skin Effects of Testosterone Treatment in Trans Men
Testosterone treatment in trans men increases body and facial hair and may lead to hair loss over time, but severe skin issues are rare.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma for Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP injections improve hair thickness for baldness.
research Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Improves Cardiometabolic Function in Young Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Surface Lipids as Multifunctional Mediators of Skin Responses to Environmental Stimuli
Skin surface lipids are important for skin health and altering them could help prevent aging and treat skin conditions.
research Psoriasis treatment in difficult locations: scalp, nails, and intertriginous areas
Treating psoriasis on the scalp, nails, and skin folds is challenging, often requiring systemic treatments for severe cases, with some success in topical and biologic treatments.
research A randomized, single-blind trial of 5% minoxidil foam once daily versus 2% minoxidil solution twice daily in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in women
5% minoxidil foam once daily works as well as 2% minoxidil solution twice daily for female hair growth and is more convenient.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men treated best with early medication or transplant, new treatments researched.
research Aging of hair
Hair ages due to genetics and environmental factors, leading to graying and thinning, with treatments available for some conditions.
research A role for p75 neurotrophin receptor in the control of apoptosis‐driven hair follicle regression
The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.
research EMQN best practice guidelines for molecular genetic testing and reporting of 21-hydroxylase deficiency
The guidelines ensure accurate genetic testing and reporting for 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Delivery and targeting of nanoparticles into hair follicles
Nanoparticles can improve skin treatments by better targeting hair follicles, but more research is needed for advancement.
