The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Ruxolitinib Rescues Multiorgan Clinical Autoimmunity in Patients with APS-1
Ruxolitinib significantly improves multiple autoimmune conditions in APS-1 patients.
research Distinct use of super-enhancer elements controls cell type–specific CD25 transcription and function
Super-enhancers control CD25 expression in specific cell types, affecting immune function.
research Comparison of mitochondrial transplantation by using a stamp-type multineedle injector and platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair aging in naturally aging mice
Mitochondrial therapy and platelet-rich plasma therapy both stimulated hair regrowth in aging mice, with mitochondrial therapy showing similar effectiveness to plasma therapy.
research Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Review of Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance.
research A rare case of Vitamin D dependent rickets type II: a case report
A child with a rare type of rickets showed some improvement with high doses of vitamin D, but such conditions often respond poorly to treatment.
research Finasteride reduces serum PSA to a similar extent at 1 mg and 5 mg daily doses
Finasteride lowers PSA levels about the same whether taken at 1 mg or 5 mg daily.
research Electron microscope observations on the glassy layer of the hair follicle*1
The glassy layer of hair follicles has different fibril sizes and arrangements in guinea pigs and young mice.
research Polysulfonic acid mucopolysaccharide exerts anti scarring effect in rats through modulation of TGF β 1/Smad signaling pathway
Polysulfonic acid mucopolysaccharide can reduce skin scarring.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research SFRP2/DPP4 and FMO1/LSP1 Define Major Fibroblast Populations in Human Skin
Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
