research First reboxetine trial results reported
Finasteride increased hair count and regrowth in men with hair loss but also caused more sexual side effects than placebo.
research Identification and characterization of the hamster polyomavirus middle T antigen
The hamster polyomavirus middle T antigen is linked to tumors in hamsters and associates with a specific tyrosine kinase.
research Differential expression of phospho‐S6 in hair follicle tumors: Evidence of mammalian target of rapamycin pathway activation
The mTOR pathway may be involved in the development of hair follicle tumors, with higher activity in malignant tumors.
research Inhibition of a signaling modality within the gp130 receptor enhances tissue regeneration and mitigates osteoarthritis
Blocking a certain signal in the gp130 receptor can improve tissue healing and lessen osteoarthritis symptoms.
research Loss of adipocyte phospholipase gene PLAAT3 causes lipodystrophy and insulin resistance due to inactivated arachidonic acid-mediated PPARγ signaling
Not having the gene PLAAT3 leads to fat loss, high insulin resistance, and abnormal fat levels in the blood due to a disruption in fat cell development and function.
research Protein kinase C is a key target for attenuation of Leigh syndrome by rapamycin
Rapamycin may help treat Leigh syndrome by targeting protein kinase C.
research METTL1-mediated m7G tRNA modification drives papillary thyroid cancer progression and metastasis by regulating the codon-specific translation of TNF-α
Targeting METTL1 may help slow papillary thyroid cancer growth and spread.
research TAZ enhances the activity of the AKT signaling pathway to promote adipogenesis of gADSCs
TAZ boosts fat cell formation in goat stem cells by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Tribuloside acts on the PDE/cAMP/PKA pathway to enhance melanogenesis, melanocyte dendricity and melanosome transport
Tribuloside can increase skin pigmentation by enhancing melanin production and distribution.
research Transient Ca2+ entry by plasmalogen-mediated activation of receptor potential cation channel promotes AMPK activity
Plasmalogens activate a channel in cells that may stimulate hair growth.
research A phosphoinositide-mediated switch of GET pathway receptor dimerization in Arabidopsis
Phospholipids help plant proteins move by regulating receptor interactions.
research Kin‐cohort analysis of LRRK2‐G2019S penetrance in Parkinson's disease
The LRRK2-G2019S mutation in Parkinson's disease has a lifetime penetrance of 25-35%, and finasteride may help reduce symptoms in adult male Tourette syndrome patients.
research A preliminary study of finasteride in Tourette syndrome
Finasteride reduces Tourette syndrome symptoms, but results may be limited due to potential biases.
research Desferrioxamine treatment of aceruloplasminemia: Long‐term follow‐up
Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Pathological findings in a case of stiff person syndrome with anti‐GAD antibodies
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.
research No evidence for THAP1/DYT6 variants as disease modifiers in DYT1 dystonia
THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.
research Mutation in 5′ upstream region of GCH I gene causes familial dopa-responsive dystonia
A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
research Ability to cycle despite severe freezing of gait in atypical parkinsonism in Fahr's syndrome
Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.
research Encephalitis lethargica due to Epstein–Barr virus infection
Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.
research Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism presenting as posterior cortical atrophy
A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.
research The Parathyroid Hormone Second Receptor PTH2R and its Ligand Tuberoinfundibular Peptide of 39 Residues TIP39 Regulate Intracellular Calcium and Influence Keratinocyte Differentiation
