research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Protective Cardiovascular and Renal Actions of Vitamin D and Estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
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 Androgen Receptor: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Age-Dependent Loss of the Stemness and Antimicrobial Defense Function of Dermal Fibroblasts Is Mediated by TGFbeta
Aging reduces skin cell renewal and defense against germs due to TGFbeta, but blocking TGFbeta could help restore these functions.
research Caffeine and Its Role in Regulating Androgenetic Alopecia
Caffeine can potentially treat common hair loss by counteracting hair follicle shrinkage caused by hormones.
research Metformin: An Old Medication of New Fashion: Evolving New Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research Comparison of Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of Cases with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Based on Rotterdam’s Criteria and Women with Only Oligo/Anovulation or Hirsutism
Women with only irregular periods or excess hair have a better hormone profile than those with full PCOS, but both groups are similar, indicating a need for better PCOS diagnosis methods.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma, a Powerful Tool in Dermatology
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) shows promise for treating various skin conditions, but more research is needed to standardize its use.
research Breakdown of Immune Tolerance in AIRE-Deficient Rats Induces a Severe Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy–Candidiasis–Ectodermal Dystrophy–Like Autoimmune Disease
AIRE-deficient rats developed severe autoimmune disease similar to APECED, useful for testing treatments.
research An ERK-Dependent Molecular Switch Antagonizes Fibrosis and Promotes Regeneration in Spiny Mice
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research Steroidogenic Factor-1 Lineage Origin of Skin Lesions in Carney Complex Syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Protective Effects of Melatonin Against Metabolic and Reproductive Disturbances in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Rats
Melatonin may help treat PCOS symptoms in rats.
research Fibroblasts: Immunomodulatory Factors in Refractory Diabetic Wound Healing
Fibroblasts are important in healing diabetic wounds, but high sugar levels can harm their function and slow down the healing process.
research Increased Frequency of the DI Genotype of the Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme and Association of the II Genotype with Insulin Resistance in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research Baicalin Inhibits Recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 Promoter and Reverses Hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research Telogen Effluvium: Potential Causes in Iraq
Low iron and vitamin D3 levels might be major causes of hair loss in Iraqi women.
research A Review of Hyperandrogenism State in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome causes high male hormone levels, leading to symptoms like excess hair, acne, and fertility problems.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Pubertal Hormones Increase Hippocampal Expression of α4βδ GABAA Receptors
Hormones during puberty increase certain receptors in the brain, and this change is influenced by estrogen levels.
research Decline of Life’s Energy Theory of Aging: Revitalization of Energy Metabolism and Aging Mitochondria
Boosting mitochondrial energy production with supplements like acetyl-L-carnitine may improve aging-related cellular function and health conditions.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
