research Recombinant Human Annexin A5 Ameliorates Localized Scleroderma by Inhibiting the Activation of Fibroblasts and Macrophages
Recombinant Human Annexin A5 may help treat localized scleroderma by reducing skin thickening and inflammation.
research Upregulation of mir-1199-5p is associated with reduced type 2 5-α reductase expression in benign prostatic hyperplasia
Higher levels of miR-1199-5p may reduce the effectiveness of certain prostate treatments.
research KGF and EGF signalling block hair follicle induction and promote interfollicular epidermal fate in developing mouse skin
EGF and KGF signalling prevent hair follicle formation and promote skin cell development in mice.
research Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
The hHa7 gene is regulated by androgens in certain body hair, not scalp hair.
research Self-assembling peptide inspired by insulin and type 1 insulin-like growth factor for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Ac-GFFY-IGF peptide is a promising, safe, and effective treatment for hair loss, better than current options.
research Ginsenoside F2 Reduces Hair Loss by Controlling Apoptosis through the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein Cleavage Activating Protein and Transforming Growth Factor-β Pathways in a Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Mouse Model
