780-810 / 1000+ results research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Ruolo dei neurosteroidi nella modulazione dopaminergica
Neurosteroids help control dopamine responses in the brain.
research TR3 is preferentially expressed by bulge epithelial stem cells in human hair follicles
TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.
research Age-related downregulation of dihydrotestosterone-inactivating enzymes in human scalp sebaceous glands
As people age, certain enzymes in scalp glands decrease, affecting hair health.
research Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Action of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors May Be Mediated by Dehydroepiandrosterone. Letter.
Certain drugs like Dutasteride and Finasteride might help fight SARS-CoV-2 by increasing levels of a steroid called DHEA, which can protect the heart and increase nitric oxide to counteract the virus.
research Expanding the Clinical and Mutational Spectrum of Recessive AEBP1-Related Classical-Like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
The study concludes that mutations in the AEBP1 gene can cause a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and should be considered in diagnosis.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription/DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
research NUDT15 R139C-related thiopurine leukocytopenia is mediated by 6-thioguanine nucleotide-independent mechanism in Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease
The NUDT15 R139C variant causes thiopurine-induced leukocytopenia through a different mechanism than previously thought in Japanese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
research Author response: The molecular basis for ANE syndrome revealed by the large ribosomal subunit processome interactome
Defective protein folding due to a mutation is key in ANE syndrome.
research MP31-04 HOW DO 5-ALPHA-REDUCTASE INHIBITORS CHANGE PSA DENSITY IN PATIENTS ON ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE?
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors lower PSA density but higher PSA density indicates disease progression.
research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research IGFBP5 Promotes Neuronal Apoptosis in a 6-OHDA-Toxicant Model of Parkinson’s Disease by Inhibiting the Sonic Hedgehog Signaling Pathway
IGFBP5 may be a potential target for Parkinson's treatment by reducing neuron death.
research GRHL3 binding and enhancers rearrange as epidermal keratinocytes transition between functional states
GRHL3 is important for controlling gene activity in skin cells during different stages of their development.
research 7DHC and BM15766 treated mice (C57BL/6; n = 5) failed to regrow the hairs.
The treatments stopped hair regrowth in mice.
research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research Gene therapy for alopecia in type II rickets model rats using vitamin D receptor-expressing adenovirus vector
Gene therapy helped rats with a specific type of rickets grow hair without severe inflammation.
research Twins with psychiatric features and a nonsense HRAS variant affecting transcript processing
A new HRAS gene variant may cause a range of symptoms including intellectual disability and psychiatric issues.
research PD23-01 INHIBITOR OF 5A-REDUCTASE TYPES II PROMOTES THE INFILTRATION OF CD8+T CELLS IN BPH TISSUES.
Finasteride increases CD8+ T cells in BPH tissues.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research DcR3 reprograms macrophage plasticity to promote wound healing and hair regeneration
DcR3 helps heal wounds and regrow hair by changing macrophages to a repair-focused type.
research 126 cAMP response element-binding protein 1 (CREB) is a β-catenin-regulated transcription factor in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells
CREB, a protein that can promote cancer traits, is controlled by β-catenin in skin cancer cells.
research 0192 Estrogenic effects of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in male androgenetic alopecia patients
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Differential expression levels of Sox9 in early neocortical radial glial cells regulate the decision between stem cell maintenance and differentiation
Sox9 levels in brain stem cells affect whether they stay as stem cells or become neurons.
research Kyoto Rhino Rats Derived by ENU Mutagenesis Undergo Congenital Hair Loss and Exhibit Focal Glomerulosclerosis
A new rat strain with a specific gene mutation causes hair loss and kidney issues.
research Hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia in four Egyptian families: report of three novel mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene
Three new gene mutations cause rickets and hair loss, treatable with high calcium and calcidol, but hair regrowth is rare.
research Vitamin D receptor: molecular signaling and actions of nutritional ligands in disease prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
