This review discusses genetic and epigenetic studies of PCOS, highlighting Genome-Wide Association Studies that found genetic variants related to gonadotrophin secretion influencing PCOS susceptibility, but it reports no new findings.
In this study, ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers, diazoxide and minoxidil, reduced scratching in cholestatic mice, suggesting these channels may play a role in cholestatic itch, while the channel blocker glibenclamide increased scratching behavior.
In this study, human dermal papilla cells exposed to wasabi leaf extract showed changes in cytokine-related gene expression, which the authors suggest could help clarify the biological effects of wasabi.
