research The Effects of Narrowbands of Visible Light Upon Some Skin Disorders: A Review
Visible light can improve skin disorders and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand long-term effects.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research The New Paradigm for Androgenetic Alopecia and Plant-Based Folk Remedies: 5α-Reductase Inhibition, Reversal of Secondary Microinflammation, and Improving Insulin Resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
research Managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Primary Care
Primary care for PCOS focuses on lifestyle changes, medication based on symptoms, and mental health, with diabetes screening and specialist referral for severe cases.
research PCOS: Update and Diagnostic Approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research Alopecia And Hirsutism: Pathogenesis And Management Strategies
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.
research Early Embryonic Exposure of Freshwater Gastropods to Pharmaceutical 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors Results in a Surprising Open-Coiled 'Banana-Shaped' Shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research 25 Years of Estrogen Receptor Beta: A Personal Journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Immunological Aspects and Gender Bias During Respiratory Viral Infections Including Novel Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19): A Scoping Review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Genomewide Differential Expression Profiling of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Androgenetic Alopecia in a Chinese Male Population
Found different long non-coding RNAs in balding Chinese men, which may help create new treatments.
research Non-Invasive Human Skin Transcriptome Analysis Using mRNA in Skin Surface Lipids
A new non-invasive method can analyze skin mRNA to understand skin diseases better.
research Regeneration of Hair and Other Skin Appendages: A Microenvironment-Centric View
The microenvironment, especially mechanical forces, plays a crucial role in hair growth and could lead to new treatments for hair loss.
research COVID-19 Pandemic: What About the Gonads?
COVID-19 may affect male fertility and women might have better outcomes due to hormonal and immune differences.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women: An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Circulating and Intraprostatic Sex Steroid Hormonal Profiles in Relation to Male Pattern Baldness and Chest Hair Density Among Men Diagnosed with Localized Prostate Cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research Evaluation of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Reproduction and Gonadal Development in Medaka, Oryzias Latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Effects of Exercise Combined with Finasteride on Hormone and Ovarian Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rats
Exercise and finasteride together improve ovary health in PCOS rats.
research What Does the Research Say About Androgen Use and Cerebrovascular Events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
research Feather on the Cap of Medicine
Feathers are useful for researching growth, regeneration, and the effects of treatments like chemotherapy on hair loss.
research Hair-Cycle Dependent Differential Expression of ADAM 10 and ADAM 12
ADAM 10 and ADAM 12 proteins are involved in different stages of hair growth and could be targets for treating hair disorders.
research A Comprehensive Approach in Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS requires a thorough approach, considering various symptoms and risks, and calls for improved methods to identify PCOS types and prevent diabetes.
