research BMP2 And BMP7 Play Antagonistic Roles In Feather Induction
BMP2 and BMP7 have opposite roles in feather formation.
research Hair Cycle-Specific Expression of Versican in Human Hair Follicles
Versican, a protein, is less present in thinning hair follicles and this decrease might contribute to common hair loss in men.
research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development
TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research Characterization of the Serotoninergic System in the C57BL/6 Mouse Skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.
