research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 21 in Fond Memory of Dr. Peter Steinert
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Transient Mitochondrial DNA Double Strand Breaks in Mice Cause Accelerated Aging Phenotypes in a ROS-Dependent but p53/p21-Independent Manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Effects of 17-β-Estradiol and ICI 182 780 on Hair Growth in Various Strains of Mice
17-β-Estradiol applied to the skin stops hair growth, while ICI 182 780 helps hair grow in mice.
research Size Polymorphisms in the Human Ultrahigh Sulfur Hair Keratin-Associated Protein 4, KAP4, Gene Family
The study found that variations in hair protein genes are likely due to evolutionary deletions or duplications.
research Targeted Expression of SV40 T Antigen in the Hair Follicle of Transgenic Mice Produces an Aberrant Hair Phenotype
SV40 T antigen in hair follicles causes abnormal hair and health issues in mice.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The skin has multiple layers and cells, serves as a protective barrier, helps regulate temperature, enables sensation, affects appearance, and is involved in vitamin D synthesis.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Type I Steroid 5α-Reductase
New compounds called benzoquinolinones may treat conditions linked to excess DHT.
research Cell Types Promoting Goosebumps Form a Niche to Regulate Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Muscles and nerves that cause goosebumps also help control hair growth.
research Changing the Shape of Hair with Keratin Peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research Effect of Long-Term Fluticasone Treatment on Immune Function in Horses with Heaves
Long-term fluticasone treatment does not harm the immune system in horses with heaves.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated With Atherogenic Changes in Lipoprotein Particle Number and Size Independent of Body Weight
Women with PCOS have unhealthy changes in their cholesterol particles that are not related to their body weight.
research Keratin and Skin Disorders
Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
research Histologic Comparison of Microscopic Treatment Zones Induced by Fractional Lasers and Radiofrequency
Different lasers and radiofrequency affect skin differently, important for dermatologists to choose the right treatment.
research Steroid Sulfatase Inhibitors: Therapeutic Applications and Development
Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
research Application of Nanoemulsions in Cosmetics
Nanoemulsions improve stability and delivery of active ingredients in cosmetics for skin and hair care.
research Homo- and Heteropolymer Self-Assembly of Recombinant Trichocytic Keratins
Recombinant keratins can form useful structures for medical applications, overcoming natural keratin limitations.
research Comprehensive Spectroscopic Characterization of Finasteride Polymorphic Forms: Does Form X Exist?
Three finasteride forms exist; "form X" doesn't.
research Core-Shell Nanocarriers Based on PEGylated Hydrophobic Hyperbranched Polyesters
The new nanocarriers improve how well water-insoluble drugs dissolve and allow for controlled drug release.
research Hair Shaft miRNA-221 Levels as a New Tumor Marker of Malignant Melanoma
Hair shaft miR-221 levels can help detect malignant melanoma.
research Pharmacokinetics of Two Novel Formulations of Modified-Release Oral Testosterone Alone and With Finasteride in Normal Men With Experimental Hypogonadism
New oral testosterone formulations show potential for safer, effective hormone replacement in men with low testosterone.
research The Promoted Synthesis of Minoxidil by Magnetic Nanoparticles of Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) as a Heterogeneous Reusable Catalyst
Researchers made minoxidil efficiently using cobalt ferrite nanoparticles as a reusable catalyst.
research Spectroscopy as a Tool to Evaluate Hair Damage and Protection
Chamomile extract can protect hair from damage caused by light.
research Valence-Engineered Catalysis-Selectivity Regulation of Molybdenum Oxide Nanozyme for Acute Kidney Injury Therapy and Post-Cure Assessment
A specially designed molybdenum oxide nanozyme can treat and monitor acute kidney injury effectively.
research Efficacy of Minoxidil Combined With Photobiomodulation for the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia: A Double-Blind Half-Head Controlled Trial
Minoxidil and photobiomodulation together improve hair growth better than minoxidil alone.
research Potential Role and Therapeutic Interests of Myo-Inositol in Metabolic Diseases
Myo-inositol supplements may improve insulin sensitivity and help with conditions like PCOS and gestational diabetes, but more research is needed.
