research Risk factors for prostate cancer: a case-control study investigating selected key exposures and their interactions with predisposition genes
Age, race, family history, and certain genetic factors increase prostate cancer risk.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Molecular principles of hair follicle induction and morphogenesis
Hair follicle development is controlled by interactions between skin tissues and specific molecular signals.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Hoxc13 mutant mice lack external hair
Hoxc13 gene is essential for hair, nail, and papilla development.
research Hair follicle aging is driven by transepidermal elimination of stem cells via COL17A1 proteolysis
Hair loss and aging are caused by the breakdown of a key protein in hair stem cells.
