research iRhom2 Mutation Leads to Aberrant Hair Follicle Differentiation in Mice
A mutation in the iRhom2 gene causes hairless mice due to abnormal hair follicle development.
research Increased Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in the Sera of Patients with Extensive Alopecia Areata
Patients with severe alopecia areata have higher levels of MIF, which decrease after successful treatment.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Finasteride as a potential tool to improve Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for myocardial infarction
Finasteride may improve stem cell therapy for heart attacks by increasing cell survival.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
FAPD and possibly CCCA may be AGA subtypes, and treatments combining antiandrogens, hair growth agents, hair transplants, and anti-inflammatories could be effective.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review of Its Clinical Presentation, Comorbidities, Long-Term Complications and Management
PCOS is a common disorder in women causing symptoms like irregular periods and weight gain, with management possible through lifestyle changes and medication.
research Cornification
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
research Penis Endocrinology
Hormones, especially testosterone and DHT, are key for penis development and function, and testosterone therapy may help with erectile dysfunction in those with low levels.
research History and physical examination of polycystic ovary syndrome: Detecting too much or too little
The document concludes that careful history and physical exams are crucial for accurately diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and distinguishing it from other similar conditions.
research Discovering the potential of natural remedies in the post COVID-19 complications based on in silico techniques
Natural compounds, especially Withaferin-A, may help treat post-COVID-19 complications, but some may have side effects.

research Obesity and the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Obesity worsens Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms, and weight loss is a key treatment.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Human Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With a Constant Expression of Testosterone Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
