Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.

Certain gene patterns in breast cancer are linked to how active hormone receptors are and could affect patient survival.

Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.

Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.

Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.

Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.

The new skin patch with human matrix and antibiotic improves wound healing.

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.

Photobiomodulation helps reduce pain, lessen inflammation, heal wounds, and can be used in skin treatments. It also boosts hair growth in women with hair loss and may help fight microbes and prevent respiratory issues in COVID-19.

Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.

pH, calcium, and reactive oxygen species regulate plant cell growth, with key roles for NADPH oxidases and plasma membrane H+-ATPases.

Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.

Lanceolate complexes in mouse hair follicles are essential for touch and depend on specific cells for maintenance and regeneration.

ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.

The stiffness of a wound affects hair growth during healing, with less stiff areas growing more hair.

South Asian women with PCOS are more likely to have metabolic issues and central obesity, and simple measures like waist size and blood pressure can help identify these risks early.

Recombinant keratin materials may better promote skin cell differentiation than natural keratin.

Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.

Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.

The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.

The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.

A gene deletion in mice causes weak protein, immune issues, hair loss, airway problems, and wasting disease.

Various treatments, including FDA-approved drugs, natural products, and oral supplements, can help with hair loss, but a patient's medical history and potential allergies should be considered when choosing a treatment.

A specific enzyme is essential for proper hair follicle stem cell development and healthy skin.

Hair loss involves immune responses, inflammation, and disrupted signaling pathways.

The document concludes that proper diagnosis and combined treatments are key for hirsutism management, and weight loss may help overweight patients.

Detailed history and physical examination are crucial for diagnosing hair loss.

The document concludes that insulin resistance is key in PCOS development and early treatment is crucial to prevent complications.

The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.

Tooth papilla cells can help regenerate hair follicles and grow hair.
