research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor Beta Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research Activation of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-3 Inhibits Human Hair Growth
Activating TRPV3 stops human hair growth.
research A Study of the Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism and the Level of Expression of the Androgen Receptor in Androgenetic Alopecia Among Egyptians
The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.
research An ERK-Dependent Molecular Switch Antagonizes Fibrosis and Promotes Regeneration in Spiny Mice
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Wound Healing Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Model of Leptin-Deficient Mice: A Mechanistic Systematic Review
Leptin-deficient mice, used as a model for Type 2 Diabetes, have delayed wound healing due to impaired contraction and other dysfunctional cellular responses.
research Hair Follicle Development of Rex Rabbits Is Regulated Seasonally by Wnt10b/β-Catenin, TGFβ-BMP, IGF1, and EGF Signaling Pathways
Winter provides the best fur quality for Rex rabbits due to seasonal changes in specific signaling pathways.
research Cutaneous Side-Effects of Beta-Adrenergic Blockers
Beta-blockers can cause rare skin side-effects, which usually improve after stopping the medication.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Novel and Established Potassium Channel Openers Stimulate Hair Growth In Vitro: Implications for Their Modes of Action in Hair Follicles
Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.
research Graphene Oxide and Indole-3-Acetic Acid Cotreatment Regulates the Root Growth of Brassica Napus L. via Multiple Phytohormone Pathways
Graphene oxide and indole-3-acetic acid together inhibit root growth in Brassica napus L. by affecting multiple plant hormone pathways.
research Polygonum Multiflorum Extract Supports Hair Growth by Elongating Anagen Phase and Abrogating the Effect of Androgen in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps hair grow longer and fights the effects of hormones that cause hair loss.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Natural Product Shi-Bi-Man Regulates Lactic Acid Metabolism and Drives Hair Follicle Stem Cell Activation to Promote Hair Regeneration
Shi-Bi-Man activates hair follicle stem cells and promotes hair growth by changing lactic acid metabolism and other cellular processes.
research Genome-Wide Maps of Histone Modifications Unwind In Vivo Chromatin States of the Hair Follicle Lineage
Hair follicle stem cells use specific chromatin changes to control their growth and differentiation.
research Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men: A Review of Prevalence and Risk Factors
Erectile dysfunction is increasingly common in men under 40, with many physical and psychological causes, and various treatment options available.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride

research The Action of Diazoxide and Minoxidil Sulphate on Rat Blood Vessels: A Comparison with Cromakalim
Diazoxide, minoxidil sulphate, and cromakalim relax rat blood vessels by opening K+ channels, with some differences in their actions.
research Foxp3 Post-Translational Modifications and Treg Suppressive Activity
Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.
research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research 5α-Reduced Glucocorticoids: A Story of Natural Selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
