research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
research Characterization and quantification of wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis using in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy
In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy is an effective, non-invasive way to study and measure new hair growth after skin injury in mice.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Retrospective Analysis of 72 Patients from a German Academic Center
Combination therapy with steroids and pimecrolimus improved or stabilized hair loss in most patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, who also had a high rate of hypothyroidism.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Effects of Oral Finasteride on Erectile Function in a Rat Model
Finasteride reduces corpus cavernosum weight but doesn't affect erectile response in rats.
research Riboflavin-responsive glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Taking riboflavin and eating less lysine can help some people with a specific genetic disorder avoid brain damage.
research Biallelic HEPHL1 variants impair ferroxidase activity and cause an abnormal hair phenotype
Mutations in the HEPHL1 gene cause abnormal hair and cognitive issues.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Comparisons of mouse models for hair follicle reconstitution
The flap assay grows the most natural hair but takes the longest, the chamber assay is hard work but gives dense, normal hair, and the patch assay is quick but creates poorly oriented hair with some issues.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Metabolic and pathologic profiles of human LSS deficiency recapitulated in mice
Mice with LSS deficiency showed hair loss and cataracts, similar to humans, and can help in understanding and treating this condition.
research Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers
Pollution exposure speeds up hair damage.
research Predicting hair cortisol levels with hair pigmentation genes: a possible hair pigmentation bias
Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Chromium supplementation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Chromium supplements don't improve insulin, hormone levels, or cholesterol in women with PCOS but raise testosterone levels.
research Testosterone implants in women: Pharmacological dosing for a physiologic effect
Testosterone implants in women require pharmacological dosing to be effective and are generally safe and well-tolerated.
research Improvement in scalp hair growth in androgen‐deficient women treated with testosterone: a questionnaire study
Testosterone therapy helped 63% of androgen-deficient women grow scalp hair, but more research is needed.
research Integrative analysis of rare copy number variants and gene expression data in alopecia areata implicates an aetiological role for autophagy
The research suggests that autophagy-related genes might play a role in causing alopecia areata.
research A novel and safe small molecule enhances hair follicle regeneration by facilitating metabolic reprogramming
Small molecule IM boosts hair growth by changing stem cell metabolism.
research Differential proteomics of lesional vs. non-lesional biopsies revealed non-immune mechanisms of alopecia areata
Non-immune factors play a significant role in alopecia areata.
research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
HAT-L4 is crucial for preventing body fluid loss by maintaining skin barrier integrity.
research Hyperandrogenemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: prevalence, characteristics and association with body mass index
High levels of male hormones are very common in women with PCOS and affect their metabolism differently depending on their weight.
research Defining hyperandrogenaemia according to the free androgen index in Chinese women: a cross-sectional study
FAI values above 6.4 may suggest high androgen levels and increased metabolic risks in Chinese women of reproductive age.
research Dermal-epidermal interactions—follicle-derived cell populations in the study of hair-growth mechanisms
Dermal-epidermal interactions are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
