In this study, researchers found that the compound BMS-470539 induced a senescence-like state in fibroblasts from systemic sclerosis patients, reducing fibrosis-associated markers in vitro and decreasing skin thickness in a mouse model of skin fibrosis, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for managing fibroblast-driven diseases.

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This study found that low temperatures and nitrogen deficiency trigger root hair elongation through a molecular mechanism involving the receptor kinase FERONIA and the TOR Complex 1.

This study used a multi-layer in silico framework to evaluate Korean herbal compounds for androgenetic alopecia, identifying Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as potential topical candidates with distinct safety and affinity profiles, although these findings remain purely computational without experimental validation.

This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.

This study found that the signaling peptide CLE40 and receptor proteins CLV2 and CRN regulate root meristem differentiation through two distinct, antagonistic pathways activated by CLE40 in a dose-dependent manner.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

In this study, a deproteinized bone mineral showed potential to increase DHT production, suggesting an anabolic effect on human periosteal fibroblasts with possible implications for wound healing.

This study found that all-trans and 9-cis retinoic acids increase steroid sulfatase activity in HL60 cells through mechanisms involving RARα/RXR heterodimers and multiple signaling pathways.

This study found that sebum free fatty acids may enhance the antibacterial defense of human sebaceous glands by upregulating the expression of the antimicrobial peptide hBD-2, potentially aiding in acne treatment.

This review focuses on neuroactive steroids' influence on GABA-ergic signaling and discusses challenges in developing them for various therapeutic uses, citing recent excitement from FDA approval of allopregnanolone for postpartum depression but reporting no new results.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This study found that rice bran ash extract and orthosilicic acid both increased melanin synthesis and related protein expression in melanocytes, suggesting potential therapeutic use for melanin deficiency.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.

This dissertation demonstrates that FERONIA regulates essential plant functions such as RAC/ROP signaling, pollen tube reception, cell wall integrity, and sugar signaling as a cell surface receptor kinase.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptors are not necessary for androgen self-administration, suggesting that plasma membrane receptors might be involved.

This paper describes recent advancements in the synthesis of thiasteroids but reports no new experimental results, noting that introducing heteroatoms in steroidal structures has potential biological effects.

This study found that dutasteride affected spinal bone formation in curdlan-treated SKG mice, while DHT treatment reduced osteoblast differentiation in vitro, suggesting that DHT inhibition might unexpectedly increase spinal ankylosis progression in ankylosing spondylitis patients.

This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.

This study identified compounds 11d and 11k as potential dual 5α-reductase inhibitors and AR antagonists with significant anti-proliferative effects on prostate cancer cell lines, suggesting they may offer therapeutic value.

This research observed that Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) significantly promoted hair regeneration in vivo and in vitro, outperforming minoxidil in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, by activating Wnt/β-catenin and mTORC2/Akt pathways and upregulating MMPs and MAPKs.

This study found that specific ATP-competitive TOR inhibitors (asTORis) decrease root growth in Arabidopsis thaliana in a dose-dependent manner, similar to their effects on mammalian cells.

This study found that androgen impacted glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse brain only in the prefrontal cortex and substantia nigra, suggesting limited interaction between these hormones at high corticosterone levels.

This study found that inoculating Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with the rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense significantly increased root hair length compared to non-inoculated controls.

This study conducted an in silico evaluation of Korean herbal compounds against key targets involved in androgenetic alopecia, finding Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as promising candidates for topical treatments, but highlighting safety and topical formulation challenges.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

This study found that extracts from the rice variety Bue Bang 3 CMU, particularly the husk and bran, demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties, suggesting potential use in treating androgenetic alopecia.
