research In Silico Screening of DrugBank Compounds as Potential Inhibitors for Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 for Androgen-Related Diseases
Stiripentol shows promise as a potential treatment for androgen-related diseases but needs more testing.
research Calcineurin-Based Immunosuppression in Renal Transplantation: Focus on Efficacy, the Role of Steroids, and Cardiovascular Risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research The Pharmacology of Methotrexate
Methotrexate treats various disorders by inhibiting DNA synthesis, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid toxicity and manage side effects.
research Spatiotemporal Control of CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing
The document concludes that while there are promising methods to control CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, more research is needed to overcome challenges related to safety and effectiveness for clinical use.
research A Review on Traditional Uses, Phytochemistry, and Pharmacology of Eclipta Prostrata (L.) L.
Eclipta prostrata has many traditional uses and health benefits, but more research is needed to understand how it works and ensure it's safe.
research A Small Molecule Inhibitor Partitions Two Distinct Pathways for Trafficking of Tonoplast Intrinsic Proteins in Arabidopsis
Two distinct pathways direct proteins to vacuoles in Arabidopsis, affecting root hair growth and protein targeting.
research Stereocontrolled Synthesis of All Eight Stereoisomers of the Putative Anti-Androgen Cyoctol
Scientists made all eight versions of a compound called cyoctol, but found it's not an anti-androgen and it fully breaks down in the skin.
research Tumor Promotion in Skin: Are Active Oxygen Species Involved?
Active oxygen species might be involved in skin tumor growth, but their exact role is unclear.
research Marangoni Effect in the Water Wetting of Surfactant Coated Human Hair Fibers
The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.
research Androgens and Acne: Perspectives on Clascoterone, the First Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist
Clascoterone is a new, effective, and safe acne treatment without systemic side effects.
research Drug Safety Evaluation of Exemestane
Exemestane is effective and safe for treating certain breast cancers, with mild side effects, but needs more research on long-term effects.
research Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Synthesis of N-Substituted 3-Oxo-17b-Carboxamide-4-Aza-5a-Androstanes and the Tautomerism of 3-Oxo-4-Aza-5-Androstenes
