research WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research Signaling in the Stem Cell Niche: Regulating Cell Fate, Function, and Plasticity
The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
research Somatic Stem Cell Heterogeneity: Diversity in the Blood, Skin, and Intestinal Stem Cell Compartments
Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Revisited: An Update with a Special Focus on Adolescent and Adult Women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Biochemical Testing of the Thyroid: TSH Is the Best and Often Only Test Needed – A Review for Primary Care
TSH is usually the only test needed to check thyroid function in primary care.
research Wnt and Notch Signaling Pathway Involved in Wound Healing by Targeting c-Myc and Hes1 Separately
Wnt and Notch signaling help wound healing by promoting cell growth and regulating cell differentiation.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Anti-Cancer Properties of Olive Oil Secoiridoid Phenols: A Systematic Review of In Vivo Studies
Olive oil compounds may help prevent cancer in animals, but human results are mixed.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormonal treatments, including birth control and antiandrogens, can effectively treat acne in women.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Tissue Injury: Roles in Pathology and Therapeutic Opportunities for Regeneration
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway helps tissue regeneration but can also cause fibrosis, and drugs that inhibit this pathway may aid in healing skin and heart tissues.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Endocrine Disorders
Skin changes can help diagnose and manage endocrine disorders like thyroid problems, diabetes, and adrenal gland conditions.
research Neurosteroids, Neuroactive Steroids, and Symptoms of Affective Disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Safety of Testosterone Treatment in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Emerging Medication for the Treatment of Male Hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Female Gonadal Function Before and After Treatment of Acromegaly
Treatment of acromegaly can improve women's reproductive health issues caused by hormonal imbalances or tumors.
research COVID-19 and Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases: An Updated Statement from the European Society of Endocrinology
People with diabetes or obesity should manage their conditions carefully as they have a higher risk of severe COVID-19.
research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance: A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
research The Clinical Evaluation of Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.
research Menstrual Irregularity in Women with Acromegaly
Women with acromegaly often have irregular periods due to hormone imbalances and growth hormone effects.
