research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Response to Letter Regarding Androgen Receptor PolyQ Alleles and COVID-19
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Non-Canonical Dimerization of the Androgen Receptor and Other Nuclear Receptors: Implications for Human Disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Susceptibility Variants on Chromosome 7p21.1 Suggest HDAC9 as a New Candidate Gene for Male-Pattern Baldness
A gene called HDAC9 might be a new factor in male-pattern baldness.
research Redefining Hormone Resistance in Prostate Cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Insight into Recent Advances in Degrading Androgen Receptor for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
New treatments targeting androgen receptors show promise for drug-resistant prostate cancer.
research Biological Activity of Novel Progesterone Derivatives Having Bulky Ester Side Chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Expression of Androgen Receptor Coactivator ARA70/ELE1 in Androgenic Alopecia
The protein ARA70/ELE1 is involved in male pattern baldness, and lower levels of its short form may lead to hair thinning.
research Advances in Male Hormone Substitution Therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Mechanism of Action of Bolandiol (19-Nortestosterone-3β,17β-Diol), a Unique Anabolic Steroid with Androgenic, Estrogenic, and Progestational Activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Environmental Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Their Epigenetic Influence on Androgenetic Alopecia
Environmental factors and chemicals might affect hormone balance and contribute to common hair loss.
research Vitamin D and Human Health: Lessons from Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.
research Estrogens And The Hair Follicle
Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.
research Hair Keratin Associated Proteins: Characterization of a Second High Sulfur KAP Gene Domain on Human Chromosome 21 in Fond Memory of Dr. Peter Steinert
A second domain of high sulfur KAP genes on chromosome 21q23 is crucial for hair structure.
research Vitamin D: More Than a Bona Fide Hormone
Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.
research Many Paths to Alopecia via Compromised Regeneration of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Different problems with hair stem cell renewal can lead to hair loss.
research The Endocrinology of Baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/- Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets: Clinical, Laboratory, and Genetic Characteristics of Two Iranian Siblings
Two siblings with a genetic mutation had a form of rickets that doesn't respond to vitamin D.
research The Inconsistent Regulation of HOXC13 on Different Keratins and the Regulation Mechanism on HOXC13 in Cashmere Goat (Capra Hircus)
The HOXC13 gene affects different hair proteins in cashmere goats in varied ways and is controlled by a feedback loop and other factors.
research The Role of Histone Demethylases in Disease
