SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Does Prostaglandin D2 Hold the Cure to Male Pattern Baldness?
Prostaglandin D₂ might be targeted for new male pattern baldness treatments.
research Adenosine Stimulates Growth of Dermal Papilla and Lengthens the Anagen Phase by Increasing the Cysteine Level via Fibroblast Growth Factors 2 and 7 in an Organ Culture of Mouse Vibrissae Hair Follicles
Adenosine helps hair grow longer and stronger by boosting certain growth factors and signaling pathways.
research An Investigation of Crosstalk Between Wnt/β-Catenin and Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia
Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β pathways affect hair loss, and activating Wnt/β-catenin could be a potential treatment.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Oral Administration of Low-Dose Bisphenol A Promotes Proliferation of Ventral Prostate and Upregulates Prostaglandin D2 Synthase Expression in Adult Rats
Low doses of BPA can increase prostate growth and change hormone levels in adult rats.
research Experimental and Early Investigational Drugs for Androgenetic Alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Cashmere Growth Control in Liaoning Cashmere Goat by Ovarian Carcinoma Immunoreactive Antigen-Like Protein 2 and Decorin Genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Metformin And Malignant Neoplasms: A Possible Mechanism Of Antitumor Action And Prospects For Use In Practice
Metformin, a diabetes drug, may also help fight cancer, but more research is needed to understand how.
research Abstracts
Get head MRI for babies with achondroplasia early, use free immunoglobulin light chains to detect certain neurodevelopmental disorders, and video calls work for speech therapy in patients with facial anomalies.
research Use of Oral Contraceptives in the Management of Acne
Birth control pills with low-dose estrogen and antiandrogenic progestins can effectively treat acne.
research 18-β-Glycyrrhetinic Acid Promotes Hair Growth by Stimulating the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells and Outer Root Sheath Cells, and Extends the Anagen Phase by Inhibiting 5α-Reductase
Licorice extract helps hair growth and may treat hair loss.
research Cosmeceuticals
Isotretinoin and tazarotene help treat acne, while minoxidil and finasteride promote hair growth.
research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Table 2
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
research Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
research Estrogens and Aging Skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
research The Aetiopathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris: What's New?
Acne is caused by multiple factors including oil production, bacteria, inflammation, and possibly diet and environment.
research Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research Acne Vulgaris
The document says that early treatment of Acne Vulgaris is important to prevent scarring and that adult onset acne is common in women, often due to hormonal imbalances.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Chronic or Pubertal Onset Disease Retarded by Blood Donation
Androgenetic alopecia is a long-term, immune-related disorder that starts during puberty due to androgen secretion, and it might be improved with iron tablets, platelet transfusion, and anti-inflammation therapy.
research Distinct Mechanisms for Sebaceous Gland Self-Renewal and Regeneration Provide Durability in Response to Injury
Sebaceous glands can heal and regenerate after injury using their own stem cells and help from hair follicle cells.
research New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
