research Use of cyproterone acetate (CPA) in the treatment of acne, hirsutism and virilism
Cyproterone acetate is effective for acne but less so for hirsutism and alopecia, with some side effects and quick menstrual cycle recovery after treatment.
research Defining dermal adipose tissue
Skin fat cells help with skin balance, hair growth, and healing wounds.
research Penetration of drugs through skin, a complex rate-controlling membrane
The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.
research Effects of Visible Light on the Skin†
Visible light can damage skin and most sunscreens don't block it well; more research is needed on its effects and protection methods.
research Herbal Therapy in Dermatology
Some herbal therapies may help with skin conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research The role of hair follicles in the percutaneous absorption of caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Guidelines for the management of alopecia areata
The 2003 guidelines suggest that while some treatments can regrow hair in alopecia areata, none alter the disease's progression, and wigs may be the best option for extensive hair loss.
research Early inductive events in ectodermal appendage morphogenesis
Early development of hair, teeth, and glands involves specific signaling pathways and cellular interactions.
research The role of tight junctions in skin barrier function and dermal absorption
Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.
research Liposomal systems as drug delivery vehicles for dermal and transdermal applications
Liposomal systems show promise for delivering drugs through the skin but face challenges like high costs and stability issues.
research Trilostane treatment of 78 dogs with pituitary‐dependent hyperadrenocorticism
Trilostane effectively improved symptoms in dogs with a certain adrenal gland disorder.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Stretching the limits: from homeostasis to stem cell plasticity in wound healing and cancer
Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate-estrogen most effective for hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient needs.
research The human hair: from anatomy to physiology
The document concludes that hair is complex, with a detailed growth cycle, structure, and clinical importance, affecting various scientific and medical fields.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Dermatoses of Pregnancy - Clues to Diagnosis, Fetal Risk and Therapy
The document concludes that specific itchy skin diseases during pregnancy have varying fetal risks and treatments, including corticosteroids and other medications.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Molecular signaling in feather morphogenesis
Feather growth and regeneration involve complex patterns, stem cells, and evolutionary insights.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research 9 Pilosebaceous physiology in relation to hirsutism and acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Follicular and percutaneous penetration pathways of topically applied minoxidil foam
Minoxidil foam enters hair follicles and skin for hair growth.
research Alopecia, ascites, and incomplete regeneration after 85 to 90 per cent liver resection
The patient's liver did not fully grow back and she had serious temporary side effects after a very large liver surgery.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
