research Modulating the Stem Cell Niche for Tissue Regeneration
Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Phenotypic Plasticity: Driver of Cancer Initiation, Progression, and Therapy Resistance
Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Defining the Impact of Beta-Catenin/Tcf Transactivation on Epithelial Stem Cells
β-catenin is essential for stem cell activation and proliferation in hair follicles.
research Large-Scale Genome-Wide Meta-Analysis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Suggests Shared Genetic Architecture for Different Diagnosis Criteria
The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.
research Aging and Immortality: Quasi-Programmed Senescence and Its Pharmacologic Inhibition
The conclusion is that using drugs to block the TOR pathway might slow aging and prevent age-related diseases.
research The Circadian Molecular Clock Creates Epidermal Stem Cell Heterogeneity
The circadian clock affects skin stem cell behavior, impacting aging and cancer risk.
research Leucine-Rich Repeat-Containing G-Protein-Coupled Receptors as Markers of Adult Stem Cells
Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
research Vitamin D Receptor: Molecular Signaling and Actions of Nutritional Ligands in Disease Prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
research A Family Business: Stem Cell Progeny Join the Niche to Regulate Homeostasis
Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
research Transforming Growth Factor-Beta in Stem Cells and Tissue Homeostasis
TGF-β is crucial for tissue repair and can cause diseases if not properly regulated.
research Timing of Expression of the Core Clock Gene Bmal1 Influences Its Effects on Aging and Survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research A Molecular Wound Response Program Associated With Regeneration Initiation in Planarians
Planarian regeneration begins with a specific gene activation caused by injury, essential for healing and tissue regrowth.
research Stem Cell Dynamics, Migration, and Plasticity During Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
research Skin Cell Heterogeneity in Development, Wound Healing, and Cancer
Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
research Sex Differences in the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis’ Response to Stress: An Important Role for Gonadal Hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research The PDGF/PDGFR Pathway as a Drug Target
The PDGF/PDGFR pathway is a potential drug target with mixed success in treating various diseases, including some cancers and fibrosis.
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 Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
