research Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Current Status of Pathogenesis
The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Hypothesis: platelet-rich plasma as an adjunct therapy for eczema targeting inflammation, skin barrier repair, and chronic recurrence
Platelet-rich plasma might help treat eczema by reducing inflammation and repairing the skin.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Follicle-innervating Aδ-low threshold mechanoreceptors organize through a population-dependent mechanism
Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.
research Do men’s faces really signal heritable immunocompetence?
Masculine facial features may not reliably indicate heritable health, and more research is needed.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Phenotypic heterogeneity in human genetic diseases: ultrasensitivity-mediated threshold effects as a unifying molecular mechanism
Different people show different symptoms for genetic diseases because of how sensitive their bodies are to small changes in important factors.
research Auditory Threshold Variability in the SAMP8 Mouse Model of Age-Related Hearing Loss: Functional Loss and Phenotypic Change Precede Outer Hair Cell Loss
Hearing decline in SAMP8 mice starts before outer hair cell loss and may be linked to other changes.
research Birth, life, and death of the MAGE3 hypothesis of alopecia areata pathobiology
The MAGE3 hypothesis for alopecia areata did not lead to a significant breakthrough.
research Reproduction of the human relevant potency threshold (HRPT) for estrogen receptor alpha agonism in an inference performance screen for ICCVAM’s regulatory scientific confidence framework
A new method effectively predicts estrogen-related health effects for early screening.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing certain muscles might straighten curly hair.
research Curly Hair Follicle is Sculpted by a Contracted Arrector Pili Muscle. A Hypothesis with Treatment Implications
Relaxing the Arrector Pili Muscle might make curly hair straighter.
research Neurosteroids on the Epilepsy Chessboard—Keeping Seizures in Check
Ketogenic diet, neurosteroids, and HMGB1-TLR4 signaling pathway are potential targets for new epilepsy treatments.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research MCMV Infection Lowers the Threshold for the Development of Clinical GvHD after Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation.
CMV infection increases the risk of GvHD after bone marrow transplants.
research The skin and obesity
Obesity worsens skin health and losing weight can improve skin conditions.
research Fibrinogen and LDL apheresis in treatment of sudden hearing loss: a randomised multicentre trial
Fibrinogen/LDL apheresis may improve speech perception in sudden hearing loss, especially for those with high fibrinogen and LDL levels.
research Determining meaningful thresholds for evaluating treatment efficacy in patients with alopecia areata
A change in SALT scores of 42 or 43 indicates meaningful improvement in alopecia areata treatment.
research A powerful method for pleiotropic analysis under composite null hypothesis identifies novel shared loci between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer
New method finds genetic links between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer not seen before.
research Impact of Reporter Type on Signal Detection of Cancer Therapy-Induced Alopecia: A Hypothesis-Generating Study Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System
Reporter characteristics affect detection of hair loss from cancer therapy.
research Mechanical stimulation of human hair follicle outer root sheath cultures activates adjacent sensory neurons
Touching hair can activate nearby nerve cells through signals from the hair's outer layer.
research Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research eLife assessment: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and proper nerve connection to touch receptors in certain skin areas of mice.
research Modeling the pharmacodynamics of nandrolone doping drug and implications for anti‐doping testing
The document concludes that finasteride can reduce nandrolone detection in doping tests, suggesting frequent testing and setting metabolite level thresholds for detection.
research Hair follicle characteristics as early marker of Type 2 Diabetes
Hair characteristics might be early signs of Type 2 Diabetes and could help with early prevention.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research The role of aquaporins in polycystic ovary syndrome – A way towards a novel drug target in PCOS
Aquaporins could be new drug targets for treating polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Vibration, a treatment for migraine, linked to calpain driven changes in actin cytoskeleton
Vibration treatment may reduce migraine pain by changing cell structures.
